![]() You can style each pseudo-elements just like any other DIV and use all the techniques available for any other DIV. And the blue bordered element is the after pseudo-element. The green bordered element is the before pseudo-element. To show you where these elements are, I marked these elements in my Minion drawing: The red bordered element is the DIV. They are the most essential part of single DIV CSS art. In nearly all my CSS drawings I would use pseudo-elements. But more on how to use strings as a means for designing your single DIV CSS drawings later. Usually you must set an empty string unless you want to use the content string as a means to design as well. These three elements were created just by using one DIV and pseudo-elements The only difference is that you must set the content attribute with any string and you must set the position attribute: You always get two so called pseudo elements, before and after that you can style - just like any other DIVs. When people think single DIV arts they assume you only have one element to design and puzzled how you could “draw” an image just by using one element. The lines below and in parallel are just box shadows of that single line. □ As you can see a simple but powerful technique. To exemplify, I zoomed in and marked the part as red that was used to replicate all other vertical lines: I marked the single vertical line in red to exemplify the technique In my MVG-U-Bahn (Munich’s subway) drawing, I used a single vertical stroke to basically create all vertical strokes you see in the drawing: In the following case you create a box shadow that is, by default, black and has an offset of 10px to the left and to the top with a blur and spread radius of 10px respectively.ĭifferent objects drawn with one and the same DIV If you have used CSS before, you probably know about the box-shadow attribute. And CSS offers you more shapes and forms you initially thought possible with only one DIV. Just like in a traditional painting, the more manifold your brushes are, the better the outcome will be. Drawing CSS with a single DIV usually means exploiting every means that can be used to create any shape or form in order to realize your ideas. That’s the minimum amount of HTML element you’ll need in order to apply CSS on it. In this article I’ll explain to you the secrets of how you can draw an image with pure CSS and only one single DIV. The cover image of a the Linux Tux, for example, drawn with only one DIV and pure CSS only. I also have a small collection of single DIV CSS art myself. And as Interhyp is an aspiring technology leader, I think it’s important that the people working here not only should know the tools they are using well, but should know them perfectly. You might think you know CSS, but after reading this article you’ll learn things you probably didn’t know before. Limiting myself on only CSS forces me to get to know CSS in a much deeper way. The reason I do it is because limiting myself on a small subset of tools forces me to get to know these tools as much as I can, so I can push it to its limit. Only CSS and a single DIV - the minimum amount of HTML needed to draw an image with CSS. An amazing collection of CSS art! It’s even more impressive once you know that these quite complex and detailed clipart-like images were drawn with only a single DIV and pure CSS, meaning no preprocessor like SASS/SCSS, no images, no SVG. On her website she presented her contribution to #divtober. The project was first initiated by Lynn Fisher. ![]() In the next tutorial, you will add an “Employment" section to a website using HTML tables.This article was first published in a slightly modified form on my blog.Ībout a few months ago #divtober , a project where you draw images with pure CSS and only one DIV, ended - at least for 2020. ![]() You can continue to experiment with these methods by changing the style declarations in these classes or changing the size and quantity of boxes you use to organize the layout of your page. You have now laid out HTML content in boxes using CSS classes and added a hover pseudo-class to change their appearance when a user’s cursor hovers over them. They should change color when your cursor passes over them: Check to make sure that the hover pseudo-class is working by hovering your cursor over the project boxes. Save the styles.css file and reload index.html in the browser. Note that you have only added the hover class to the project boxes that contain text (and not to the project boxes that contain background images). This hover class instructs the element to change its color to the HTML color code #FEDE00 when the user hovers the cursor over the box. In this code snippet you created hover classes for six of the eight project classes.
