I want my section background look like as shown in the image at the end, how can i do that using css?
.bg{
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #000;
background: red;
color: #fff;
display: flex;
}
.bg p{
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
font-size: 36px;
}
<div class="bg">
<p>Section Content</p>
</div>
Use linear-gradient like this without the need of extra elements or pseudo-element:
.bg{
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
background:
linear-gradient(to bottom left, red 50%,#fff 51%) 0 100%/50% 50px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to bottom right, red 50%,#fff 51%) 100% 100%/50% 50px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to bottom right, #fff 49%,red 50%) 100% 0/50% 50px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(to bottom left, #fff 49%,red 50%) 0 0/50% 50px no-repeat,
red;
color: #fff;
display: flex;
}
.bg p{
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
font-size: 36px;
}
<div class="bg">
<p>Section Content</p>
</div>
But in case you need border around I would then consider pseudo-elements like this:
.bg{
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
position:relative;
color: #fff;
display: flex;
z-index:0;
}
.bg:before,
.bg:after{
content:"";
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
background:red;
border:2px solid #000;
z-index:-1;
}
.bg:before {
right:50%;
left:0;
transform:skewY(15deg);
transform-origin:top left;
border-right:none;
}
.bg:after {
left:50%;
right:0;
transform:skewY(-15deg);
transform-origin:top right;
border-left:none;
}
.bg p{
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
font-size: 36px;
}
<div class="bg">
<p>Section Content</p>
</div>
You can use clip-path to do such things and create them using this tool.
.bg {
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
border: 1px solid #000;
background: red;
color: #fff;
display: flex;
-webkit-clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 100% 80%, 50% 100%, 0 80%, 0 0, 50% 20%);
clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 100% 80%, 50% 100%, 0 80%, 0 0, 50% 20%);
}
.bg p {
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
font-size: 36px;
}
<div class="bg">
<p>Section Content</p>
</div>
You can do as follows to get shape you needed.
.left {
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
-moz-box-sizing: content-box;
box-sizing: content-box;
width: 150px;
height: 200px;
border: none;
color: rgba(0,0,0,1);
-o-text-overflow: clip;
text-overflow: clip;
background: #1abc9c;
-webkit-transform: skewY(15deg);
transform: skewY(15deg);
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.right {
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
-moz-box-sizing: content-box;
box-sizing: content-box;
width: 150px;
height: 200px;
border: none;
color: rgba(0,0,0,1);
-o-text-overflow: clip;
text-overflow: clip;
background: #1abc9c;
-webkit-transform: skewY(-15deg);
transform: skewY(-15deg);
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
}
<div class="left">Hello</div>
<div class="right">World</div>
