CSS - show only corner border

问题

I'm wondering if it's possible in CSS or Jquery to make a border but only for corner. Something like this:

****                         ****
*                               *
*                               *

             CONTENT

*                               *
*                               *
****                         ****

I would use overlapping divs.

One with square corners. And the Other with rounded corner (so it doesn't hide the corners of the first one).

<div id="div1" />
<div id="div2" />


#div1 {
  position:absolute;
  top:9px;
  left:9px;
  height:100px;
  width:100px;
  background-color:white;
  border:1px solid black;
}

#div2 {
  position:relative;
  top:-1px;
  left:-1px;
  height:102px;
  width:102px;
  background-color:white;
  border-radius: 15px;
}

Assuming <div id="content">CONTENT</div> and that CONTENT includes at least one HTML node.

#content {position:relative}
#content:before, #content:after, #content>:first-child:before, #content>:first-child:after {
    position:absolute; content:' ';
    width:80px; height: 80px;
    border-color:red; /* or whatever colour */
    border-style:solid; /* or whatever style */
}
#content:before {top:0;left:0;border-width: 1px 0 0 1px}
#content:after {top:0;right:0;border-width: 1px 1px 0 0}
#content>:first-child:before {bottom:0;right:0;border-width: 0 1px 1px 0}
#content>:first-child:after {bottom:0;left:0;border-width: 0 0 1px 1px}

SVG

This is another great alternative if you now want to start using vectors to allow for great responsiveness.

<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="50px">
  <path d="M25,2 L2,2 L2,25" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" />
  <path d="M2,75 L2,98 L25,98" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" />
  <path d="M75,98 L98,98 L98,75" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" />
  <path d="M98,25 L98,2 L75,2" fill="none" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" />
</svg>

SVG is a great tool to use. Some of the advantages of using SVG in this case are:

• Curve control
• Fill control (opacity, color)
• Stroke control (width, opacity, color)
• Amount of code
• Time to build and maintain the shape
• Scalable
• No HTTP request (if used inline like in the example)

Browser support for inline SVG goes back to Internet Explorer 9. See canIuse for more information.

Here are a couple of methods to create this effect without using any extra pseudo/real elements. One thing to note is that both these approaches would work only in modern browsers because they use CSS3 properties.

Using border-image: The border-image property makes it pretty easy to create such effects. The approach is as follows:

• Create a transparent image which has borders just in the corner like here.
• Set this image as the border-image-source and let the browser take care of the rest :) Since the default value for border-image-repeat is stretch, the browser would stretch the original image to fit the container even if the container becomes large.
• The value set for the border-image-width property determines how thick the borders are.

.bordered {
  background-color: beige;
  border-image-source: url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/s2CAw.png");
  border-image-slice: 1;
  border-image-width: 5px;
}
.square {
  height: 150px;
  width: 150px;
}
.large-square {
  height: 350px;
  width: 350px;
}

/* Just for demo */

div {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

<div class='bordered square'></div>
<div class='bordered large-square'></div>

Advantages:

• Needs no extra elements (pseudo or real) which means less cluttered markup, pseudo elements can be used for other needs.
• Is reasonably responsive. That is browser will adapt the borders even if container's dimensions change.

Drawbacks:

• Relatively lower browser support. If IE10- support is needed then this is a no-go.

• Since the border image is getting stretched, if the original image's canvas is a square and the container is a rectangle then the borders would look wider at top and bottom than left and right.

  .bordered {
    background-color: beige;
    border-image-source: url("http://i.stack.imgur.com/s2CAw.png");
    border-image-slice: 2;
    border-image-width: 5px;
  }
  .small-square {
    height: 75px;
    width: 75px;
  }
  .square {
    height: 150px;
    width: 150px;
  }
  .large-square {
    height: 350px;
    width: 350px;
  }
  .rectangle {
    height: 150px;
    width: 250px;
  }
  .large-rectangle {
    height: 150px;
    width: 350px;
  }
  
  /* Just for demo */
  
  div {
    margin-bottom: 10px;
  }

  <div class='bordered small-square'></div>
  <div class='bordered square'></div>
  <div class='bordered large-square'></div>
  <div class='bordered rectangle'></div>
  <div class='bordered large-rectangle'></div>

---

Using background-image: The background-image property can also be used with linear-gradient images to produce the effect. The approach is as follows:

• Create four linear-gradient images (two for top, bottom and two for left, right). These gradients would start with required color and continue to be that color for as many pixels as the width/height of the border image. After that it should be transparent.
• For top and bottom borders, gradient's direction should be to right. For left and right borders, it should be to bottom.
• The background-size value determines the thickness of the border. For top and bottom borders, the size of the gradient image would be 100% in X-axis and 5px (thickness) in Y-axis. For left and right borders, the size would 5px (thickness) in X-axis and 100% in Y-axis.
• The background-repeat should be set to repeat-x for the top, bottom borders and to repeat-y for left and right borders.
• The background-position is set to (-1 * half the size of the color in gradient) in the X or Y-axis as appropriate. This is to make half of the colored area appear on one side of the element while the other half appears on the other side (because gradient is repeating).

.bordered.square {
  height: 150px;
  width: 150px;
}
.bordered.rectangle {
  height: 150px;
  width: 250px;
}
.bordered {
  background-color: beige;
  background-image: linear-gradient(to right, black 30px, transparent 30px), linear-gradient(to right, black 30px, transparent 30px), linear-gradient(to bottom, black 30px, transparent 30px), linear-gradient(to bottom, black 30px, transparent 30px);
  background-size: 100% 5px, 100% 5px, 5px 100%, 5px 100%;
  background-position: -15px 0%, -15px 100%, 0% -15px, 100% -15px;
  background-repeat: repeat-x, repeat-x, repeat-y, repeat-y;
}

/* Just for demo */

div {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

<div class='bordered square'></div>
<div class='bordered rectangle'></div>

Advantages:

• Needs no extra elements (pseudo or real) which means less cluttered markup, pseudo elements can be used for other needs.

• Is reasonably responsive as the width of the color in gradient is fixed. If the width of the borders dashes need to change according to the container's dimensions then we can change the pixels value in gradient to percentage (with a few more minor changes) like in below snippet.

  .bordered.square {
    height: 150px;
    width: 150px;
  }
  .bordered.large-square {
    height: 250px;
    width: 250px;
  }
  .bordered {
    background-color: beige;
    background-image: linear-gradient(to right, black 10%, transparent 10%), linear-gradient(to right, black 10%, transparent 10%), linear-gradient(to bottom, black 10%, transparent 10%), linear-gradient(to bottom, black 10%, transparent 10%);
    background-size: 90% 5px, 90% 5px, 5px 90%, 5px 90%;
    background-position: 0% 0%, 0% 100%, 0% 0%, 100% 0%;
    background-repeat: repeat-x, repeat-x, repeat-y, repeat-y;
  }
  
  /* Just for demo */
  
  div {
    margin-bottom: 10px;
  }

  <div class='bordered square'></div>
  <div class='bordered large-square'></div>

Drawbacks:

• Relatively better browser support. If IE9- support is needed then this is a no-go.
• If percentage based gradient is used then the same drawback with rectangles as mentioned for border-image would be applicable here also.

回答5:

You can achieve that using multiple linear gradients as a background image.

div {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  margin: 20px;

  background:
    linear-gradient(to right, black 4px, transparent 4px) 0 0,
    linear-gradient(to right, black 4px, transparent 4px) 0 100%,
    linear-gradient(to left, black 4px, transparent 4px) 100% 0,
    linear-gradient(to left, black 4px, transparent 4px) 100% 100%,
    linear-gradient(to bottom, black 4px, transparent 4px) 0 0,
    linear-gradient(to bottom, black 4px, transparent 4px) 100% 0,
    linear-gradient(to top, black 4px, transparent 4px) 0 100%,
    linear-gradient(to top, black 4px, transparent 4px) 100% 100%;

  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;
}

<div></div>

回答6:

You could absolutely position four <div>s, one in each corner, each with the appropriate two borders.

HTML

<div class="corners">
  <div class="top left"></div>
  <div class="top right"></div>
  <div class="bottom right"></div>
  <div class="bottom left"></div>
  content goes here
</div>

CSS

.corners {
  position: relative;
  width: 100px; /* for demo purposes */
  padding: 10px;
}

.top, .bottom {
  position: absolute;
  width: 10px;
  height: 10px;
}

.top {
  top: 0;
  border-top: 1px solid;
}

.bottom {
  bottom: 0;
  border-bottom: 1px solid;
}

.left {
  left: 0;
  border-left: 1px solid;
}

.right {
  right: 0;
  border-right: 1px solid;
}

回答7:

clip-path

Using two div's on top of each other.
And adding a clip-path to div that in the back you can create a border like effect.

.wrapper {
  display: inline-block;
  background-color: black;
  line-height: 0px;
  -webkit-clip-path: polygon(0% 100%, 30% 100%, 30% 70%, 70% 70%, 70% 100%, 100% 100%, 100% 70%, 70% 70%, 70% 30%, 100% 30%, 100% 0%, 70% 0%, 70% 30%, 30% 30%, 30% 0%, 0% 0%, 0% 30%, 30% 30%, 30% 70%, 0% 70%);
    clip-path: polygon(0% 100%, 
                             30% 100%, 
                             30% 70%, 
                             70% 70%, 
                             70% 100%, 
                             100% 100%, 
                             100% 70%, 
                             70% 70%,
                             70% 30%,
                             100% 30%,
                             100% 0%,
                             70% 0%,
                             70% 30%,
                             30% 30%,
                             30% 0%,
                             0% 0%,
                             0% 30%,
                             30% 30%,
                             30% 70%,
                             0% 70%);
}
.wrapper {} .wrapper div {
  display: inline-block;
  height: 150px;
  width: 150px;
  margin: 10px;
  background-color: white;
}

<div class="wrapper">
  <div></div>
</div>

two pseudo elements

Using two large pseudo elements you can create the border effect.

.cut-border {
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  border: 5px solid black;
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
}
.cut-border::before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  height: calc(100% + 10px);
  width: 50%;
  background-color: white;
  top: -5px;
  left: 25%;
}
.cut-border::after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  height: 50%;
  width: calc(100% + 10px);
  background-color: white;
  top: 25%;
  left: -5px;
}

<div class="cut-border"></div>

回答8:

I found this question, but I was not satisfied with the border-radius approach: As I was using more thick borders, the effect was not as good as I wanted to. I managed to create another solution, without images, and without any extra markup:

    .box {
        /* fake border */
        position: relative;
        overflow: hidden;
        box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 10px green;
        padding: 1em;
    }

    .box:before {
        /* this element will hide the fake border on the top and bottom */
        content:'';         
        display: block;
        position: absolute;
        border-top:10px solid white;
        border-bottom:10px solid white;
        /* height = border-width x2 */
        height:calc(100% - 20px); 
        top:0;
        /* width = size of fake-border x2 */
        width: calc(100% - 36px);
        /* left = size of fake-border */
        left:18px;
    }

    .box:after {
        /* this element will hide the fake border on the left and right */
        /* the rules for width, heigth, top and left will be the opposite of the former element */
        display: block;
        position: absolute;
        content:'';
        border-right:10px solid white;
        border-left:10px solid white;
        height:calc(100% - 36px);
        width: calc(100% - 20px);
        top:18px;
        left: 0;
    }

Ok as i suck in CSS i think i'll not be able to do it myself but i do that and it seems work :

<div id="half" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:30px; height:30px; overflow:visible; border-top:3px solid #F00; border-left:3px solid #06F;"></div>

<div id="half" style="position:absolute; bottom:0; right:0; width:30px; height:30px; overflow:visible; border-bottom:3px solid #F00; border-right:3px solid #06F;"></div>

And it seems to be working ;-) Sorry for disturb and thanks for your help.

回答10:

There is no clean css way to just give the corners a border, but you could try to mimic the effect. Something like this perhaps: http://jsfiddle.net/RLG4z/

<div id="corners">
  <div id="content">
    content
  </div>
</div>

#corners {
    width: 200px;
    height: 50px;
    border-radius: 10px;
    background-color: red;
    margin: 10px;
}
#content {
  background-color: white;
  border-radius: 15px;
  height: 30px;
  padding: 10px;
}

due to the difference in border radius, the background color of the underlying div shows trough, giving the effect of a border on the corners.

Personally I think i would work with background images to achieve this, for better controle of the result.

i think the best solution is the pseudo element method. Nice and clean and doesn't pollute the html with (too many) extra elements.

I created this sass mixin using the code above, for a copy&paste solution:

@mixin corner-borders($corner-width: 1px, $corner-size: 5px, $color-border: grey, $color-background: white) {
    position: relative;
    border: $corner-width solid $color-border;
    background-color: $color-background;

    &::before {
        content: "";
        z-index: 0;
        position: absolute;
        top: -$corner-width;
        bottom: -$corner-width;
        left: $corner-size;
        right: $corner-size;
        background-color: $color-background;
    }

    &::after {
        content: "";
        z-index: 0;
        position: absolute;
        top: $corner-size;
        bottom: $corner-size;
        left: -$corner-width;
        right: -$corner-width;
        background-color: $color-background;
    }
}

Then you can use it like this:

html:

<div class="border">
    <div class="content">
        Content
    </div>
</div>

SCSS

.border {
    @include corner-borders;
}

.content {
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
}

You need the z-index & relative position in there so the content sits on top of the pseudo elements.
