Slant the top of a div using css without skewing text

Question

I am trying to create a div that slants only at the top and does not skew the text within it, using CSS. The reason I would like for it to be CSS-only is because it is a res

Answer 1

Skew the box one way, and its contents the other:

<aside class="skew-neg">
    <div class="skew-pos">
        <p>Hello World.</p>
        <p>@jonathansampson.</p>
        <p>This box is skewed.</p>
        <p>In supported browsers.</p>
    </div>
</aside>

/* Skew the container one way */
.skew-neg {
    -webkit-transform: skewY(-5deg);
    -moz-transform: skewY(-5deg);
    -ms-transform: skewY(-5deg);
    -o-transform: skewY(-5deg);
    transform: skewY(-5deg);
}

/* And the child another way */
.skew-pos {
    -webkit-transform: skewY(5deg);
    -moz-transform: skewY(5deg);
    -ms-transform: skewY(5deg);
    -o-transform: skewY(5deg);
    transform: skewY(5deg);
}

Which results in something similar to the following:
