Question

I\'m building a fairly interestingly shaped navigation for a site at the moment. The shape each menu item needs to be is illustrated below:

Answer 1

Flexbox

You can use this example

https://codepen.io/WBear/pen/pPYrwo

it works on new browsers, to support old ones some changes needed.

HTML:

<div class="content">
<div class="as1">
  <a href="#">NAV</a>
  </div>
 <div class="as2">
   <a href="#">NAV</a>
   </div>
  <div class="as3">
   <a href="#">NAV</a>
   </div>
  </div>

CSS:

 .content {
  margin-top: 10px;
  width: 100%;
  display: inline-flex;

}

.as1, .as2, .as3 {
  height: 70px;
  min-width: 8%;
  max-width: 100%;
  background-color: black;
  position: relative;
  display: inline-flex;
  text-align: center;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  flex-grow: 1;

}

.as1 a, .as2 a, .as3 a {
  text-decoration: none;
  display: inline-flex;
  color: white;
  margin: auto;
  font-size: 14pt;

}

.as1:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  right: 4px;
  border-top: 35px solid transparent;
  border-left: 25px solid black;
  border-bottom: 35px solid transparent;
  z-index: 2;

}

.as2 {
  background-color: grey;
  margin-left: -29px;


}
.as2:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  right: 4px;
  border-top: 35px solid transparent;
  border-left: 25px solid grey;
  border-bottom: 35px solid transparent;
  z-index: 3;

}

.as3 {
  background-color: #A9A9A9;
  margin-left: -29px;
}

Answer 2

Add a negative margin to each arrow:

.navArrow {
  float: left;
  margin-left: -8px;
}
