How can I show only corner borders?

Question

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

****                         ****
*                     


        

Answer 1

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

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

  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;
}
