Twitter Bootstrap sideways caret

Question

I\'m using Twitter Bootstrap and some custom css (found here) to have dropdown menus open up on mouseover.

I am using the \"caret\" on a on the root menu items to show

Answer 1

I use these styles to do that (it works without bootstrap as well)

HTML:

CSS:

.caret {
    border: 5px solid transparent;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    opacity: 0.5;
    vertical-align: top;
}
.caret.up {
    border-bottom: 5px solid;
}
.caret.right {
    border-left: 5px solid;
}
.caret.down {
    border-top: 5px solid;
}
.caret.left {
    border-right: 5px solid;
}
