I\'m trying to draw a line using CSS and show text/image in the middle of the line.
Wrap the text inside a span
and use a :pseudo-element for the line.
Position the line(:pseudo-element) behind the span
using z-index: -1
, so that you could move around the text without having to worry about the line.
.featured-images {
position: relative;
color: #666666;
border: 2px solid #333333;
padding: 0 10px 0 30px;
}
.featured-images span {
color: #666666;
background: white;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.featured-images:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
background: #666666;
left: 0;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
z-index: -1;
}
<p class="featured-images"><span>Featured</span></p>
Replicating the following:
You could use repeating-linear-gradient
to do this.
body {
background: #E7EAE3;
}
.featured-images {
position: relative;
color: #666666;
padding: 0 10px 0 30px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.featured-images span {
color: #517575;
background: white;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.featured-images:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 120%;
height: 100%;
background: -webkit-repeating-linear-gradient(180deg, #463A3A 10px, #F2F2F2 10px, #F2F2F2 11px, #463A3A 11px, #463A3A 20px) repeat-x;
background: -moz-repeating-linear-gradient(180deg, #463A3A 10px, #F2F2F2 10px, #F2F2F2 11px, #463A3A 11px, #463A3A 20px) repeat-x;
background-size: 10px 31px;
margin-left: -30px;
transform: skew(-45deg);
left: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
<p class="featured-images"><span>Featured</span>
</p>
Using image instead of text.
.featured-images {
position: relative;
color: #666666;
border: 2px solid #333333;
padding: 0 10px 0 30px;
}
.featured-images span {
display: block;
width: 80px;
height: 13px;
background: url(http://lorempixel.com/80/13) no-repeat white 10px 0;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.featured-images:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 2px;
background: #666666;
left: 0;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
z-index: -1;
}
<p class="featured-images"><span></span></p>
