Looking to create this:
What would be the best way to achieve it?
Have you tried something using html/css??
#vert_menu{ overflow: hidden; width: 100%; }
#vert_menu li{ float: left; }
#vert_menu a{
padding: 8px 20px 8px 40px;
float: left; text-align:center;
text-decoration: none; font: normal 16px Myriad Pro, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; text-shadow:0px 1px 0px #000;
color: #e6e2cf;
position: relative; text-shadow:1px 0 0 #000;
background: #525252; min-width:181px; width:auto
}
#vert_menu a::after,
#vert_menu a::before{
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -19px;
border-top: 19px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 19px solid transparent;
border-left: 1em solid;
right: -1em;
}
#vert_menu a::after{ z-index: 2; border-left-color: #525252; }
<ul id="vert_menu">
<li><a href="#" class="current">test</a></li>
</ul>
You may this in your HTML;
<div>
<a href="#"><button>Button</button></a>
</div>
And this in your CSS
a {
background: #950006;
border: none;
display: inline-block;
height: 28px;
line-height: 28px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100px
}
a:before{
background: #950006;
border: none;
content: '';
display: block;
height: 20px;
left: 90px;
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-o-transform: rotate(45deg);
transform: rotate(45deg);
width: 21px;
}
a button {
color: #fff;
background: none;
border: none;
font-weight: bold;
position: relative;
width: 120px;
height: 28px;
}
and will output a button like this:-
Here is a working Live Demo. The complete button is CLICKABLE. You may test the button by changing the background of the parent div.
Hope this helps.
