CSS is used to create boxes with arrows that point towards content. These are often used as tooltips and quick instructions that pop up to guide you along a website. This tutorial shows how to create these divs with arrows, and the logic behind the CSS code. Here’s the code block used in this tutorial:
//The main box
.arrowBox{
width: 200px;
height: 30px;
background-color: #ffc728;
border-radius: 5px;
position: fixed;
top: 3em;
left: 230px;
padding: 10px;
font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 22px;
color: #313333;
text-align: center;
}
//The arrow pointer
.arrowBox:after{
content: ‘ ‘;
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
border-top: 10px solid #ffc728;
border-left: 10px solid transparent;
border-bottom:10px solid transparent;
border-right:10px solid transparent;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 100%;
margin-left: -10px;
}
