Breadcrumbs stylization. Breadcrumbs in web design: application and examples. Breadcrumbs markup
The previous article “Navigating breadcrumbs with triangles in CSS” described how to create a menu with pure CSS, without the use of graphics.
The method is good for everyone, except for one thing - support for such a menu in older browsers is doubtful. But when translating this article, a link was mentioned to a way to create navigation using graphics.
The article was written a long time ago, but the method is absolutely working. The author of the article is Veerle Pieters, and the post itself is called “Simple scalable CSS based breadcrumbs”. Below I give not even a free translation of it, but a free retelling.
A few days ago, I had the task of creating a breadcrumbs-style navigation menu for a site I was working on. I don't think that such a menu is necessary for every site, but in some cases it is very useful and practical.
However, this example is, as it were, a basis that can be expanded and applied in practice. The menu will be created using a regular bulleted list
| 1 | ul |
But first, let's look at the sample we'll be working with:
The menu is quite simple, as is the code with which we will create it.
HTML code - bulleted list ul
- Home
- Main section
- sub section
- Sub sub section
- The page you are on right now
All menu items have links, except for the last one - “The page you are on right now” (The page you are on right now). While working on the menu, I wondered - is the list the most appropriate structure for creating a menu? I believe that using a list in this case is not a strict rule, but it seems to me that this is the most semantic and correct option.
CSS code - creating styles for the menu
We set general styles for the menu - remove markers and reset indents in Firefox, IE browsers:
make floating through the property equal to the height of the entire menu - . And set the text color. Next, we place a background image cut from the layout for the link. To do this, you need to cut out only the “arrow” itself:… which we “push” to the right (100%) and place exactly vertically (50%). We also indent the link to the right
| 1 | padding-left: 15px |
Almost everything has already been done. It remains to set styles for the link text. Remove the standard underline and change its color:
.crumbs li a :link , .crumbs li a :visited ( text-decoration : none ; color : #777 ; )| 1 | :hover |
| 1 | :focus |
The result of our work is presented here:
Translator's note:
The author of the article simplified the example as much as possible and the code itself, respectively, as far as I understand. The fact is that the linear horizontal gradient for each of the menu items is clearly visible in the example. However, this was not shown in the code. Well, it doesn't matter - is it really a problem to create a linear gradient in CSS3? The task itself is done!
Hello dear readers. On this day we will learn to create beautiful bread crumbs (breadcrumbs) for regular sites, as well as for WordPress blogs. I advise you not to skip this moment, because the crumbs show the path to your article or information on the site, which will greatly facilitate site navigation, as well as additional internal links.
css
ul( margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; )Everything, the first not unimportant step was taken. Now let's add beautiful view to our little ones.
First example
The very view of the element will consist of three parts, which are connected into one whole part. To make it clearer, see the figure below:
#breadcrumbs-one( background: #eee; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #f5f5f5 #e5e5e5 #ccc; border-radius: 5px; box-shadow: 0 0 2px rgba(0, 0,0,.2); overflow: hidden; width: 100%; ) #breadcrumbs-one li( float: left; ) #breadcrumbs-one a( padding: .7em 1em .7em 2em; float: left; text- decoration: none; color: #444; position: relative; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5); background-color: #ddd; background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #f5f5f5, # ddd); ) #breadcrumbs-one li:first-child a( padding-left: 1em; border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px; ) #breadcrumbs-one a:hover( background: #fff; ) #breadcrumbs-one a ::after, #breadcrumbs-one a::before( content: ""; position: absolute; top: 50%; margin-top: -1.5em; border-top: 1.5em solid transparent; border-bottom: 1.5em solid transparent; border-left: 1em solid; right: -1em; ) #breadcrumbs-one a::after( z-index: 2; border-left-color: #ddd; ) #breadcrumbs-one a::before( border-left-color: #ccc; right: -1.1em; z-index: 1; ) #breadcrumbs-one a:hover::after( border-left-color: #fff; ) #breadcrumbs-one .current, #breadcrumbs-one .current:hover( font-weight: bold; background: none; ) # breadcrumbs-one .current::after, #breadcrumbs-one .current::before( content: normal; )
Second example
Here, as in the first example, the element consists of three parts, which are combined into one part using CSS.
#breadcrumbs-two( overflow: hidden; width: 100%; ) #breadcrumbs-two li( float: left; margin: 0 .5em 0 1em; ) #breadcrumbs-two a( background: #ddd; padding: .7em 1em ; float: left; text-decoration: none; color: #444; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5); position: relative; ) #breadcrumbs-two a:hover( background: #99db76; ) #breadcrumbs-two a::before( content: ""; position: absolute; top: 50%; margin-top: -1.5em; border-width: 1.5em 0 1.5em 1em; border-style: solid; border- color: #ddd #ddd #ddd transparent; left: -1em; ) #breadcrumbs-two a:hover::before( border-color: #99db76 #99db76 #99db76 transparent; ) #breadcrumbs-two a::after( content : ""; position: absolute; top: 50%; margin-top: -1.5em; border-top: 1.5em solid transparent; border-bottom: 1.5em solid transparent; border-left: 1em solid #ddd; right: -1em; ) #breadcrumbs-two a:hover::after( border-left-color: #99db76; ) #breadcrumbs-two .current, #breadcrumbs-two .current:hover( font-weight: bold; background: none; ) #breadcrumbs-two .current::after, #breadcrumbs-two .current::before( content: normal; )
Third example
In the third subject, the elements consist of two parts.
#breadcrumbs-three( overflow: hidden; width: 100%; ) #breadcrumbs-three li( float: left; margin: 0 2em 0 0; ) #breadcrumbs-three a( padding: .7em 1em .7em 2em; float: left; text-decoration: none; color: #444; background: #ddd; position: relative; z-index: 1; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5); border-radius: .4em 0 0 .4em; ) #breadcrumbs-three a:hover( background: #abe0ef; ) #breadcrumbs-three a::after( background: #ddd; content: ""; height: 2.5em; margin-top: -1.25em ; position: absolute; right: -1em; top: 50%; width: 2.5em; z-index: -1; transform: rotate(45deg); border-radius: .4em; ) #breadcrumbs-three a:hover: :after( background: #abe0ef; ) #breadcrumbs-three .current, #breadcrumbs-three .current:hover( font-weight: bold; background: none; ) #breadcrumbs-three .current::after( content: normal; )
Fourth example
#breadcrumbs-four( overflow: hidden; width: 100%; ) #breadcrumbs-four li( float: left; margin: 0 .5em 0 1em; ) #breadcrumbs-four a( background: #ddd; padding: .7em 1em ; float: left; text-decoration: none; color: #444; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5); position: relative; ) #breadcrumbs-four a:hover( background: #efc9ab; ) #breadcrumbs-four a::before, #breadcrumbs-four a::after( content:""; position:absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; width: 1em; background: #ddd; transform: skew(-10deg ); ) #breadcrumbs-four a::before( left: -.5em; border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px; ) #breadcrumbs-four a:hover::before( background: #efc9ab; ) #breadcrumbs-four a ::after( right: -.5em; border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0; ) #breadcrumbs-four a:hover::after( background: #efc9ab; ) #breadcrumbs-four .current, #breadcrumbs-four .current :hover( font-weight: bold; background: none; ) #breadcrumbs-four .current::after, #breadcrumbs-four .current::before( content: normal; )
Example
That's all, I think that they are very stylish and at the same time simple crumbs. Moreover, there are no images, respectively, they load faster.
All examples in styles use the tag hover, which changes the color of the element when , so if you do not like any of the colors presented, you can easily replace it with your own.
Now it's time to move on to the second part, namely, we will attach one of the examples to our WordPress blog, let's go.
Part 2. How to Attach Breadcrumb Data to a WordPress Blog
And so, first we need to download the plugin Breadcrumb NavXT, you can download it. After the plugin is downloaded and activated, you will need to make some settings:
The settings are in the options. In the tab General need to find the line Breadcrumb Separator and remove the standard value that is there, in other words, you need to leave the field empty.
Everything, with the plugin finished, now you need to choose the design that you like the most. In this case, the example will be this style:
This second example located above in the article.
We take and simply copy these styles, and then add them to style.css Your theme, in any place that you like best, I advise you to highlight the beginning and end of the styles of the crumbs, because if in the future you want to change anything there, you will get confused.
Now we need to add the breadcrumbs directly to the blog.
In the blog admin we find appearance, then editor, and choose single.php. Next, add the following:
Important
Please note that the function of calling crumbs itself is between the tags whose id breadcrumbs-two, do not forget to change this id to the example that you added to the styles. For example, if this is the first example (the one above) then it should be like this:
If your blog template is similar to mine, in the sense that the background is gray and the content block itself is white, crumbs are best placed above the block, like mine. Because they can wrap to a new line if the name is too long and, believe me, it's not very pretty. :-)
That's all. Dear friends, if there are any difficulties, be sure to ask in the comments. See you soon.
Thanks to the development of CSS and CSS3 in recent years, we have reached the point where many old software solutions involving background images can now be built entirely in CSS. In this tutorial, we'll look at creating a sequence of navigation links called "breadcrumb" in a flat style, without the need for the previously popular background image technique called the "sliding door" method.
« breadcrumbs” that we will create are styled in the form of chevrons to visualize the idea of structured content. Previously, we would have used a PNG background image to create this chevron shape, but now with a clever border technique, we can create the same effect using just CSS.
We'll start by creating breadcrumb navigation links as an unordered list. Each breadcrumb will be an element
#crumbs ul li a ( display : block ; float : left ; height : 50px ; background : #3498db ; text-align : center ; padding : 30px 40px 0 40px ; position : relative ; margin : 0 10px 0 0 ; font-size : 20px ; text-decoration : none ; color : #fff ; )
The initial CSS code sets each list item anchor to a neat blue rectangle style. The text is centered and equal padding is added on all sides. In order to position absolutely next elements, a position: relative; property has been added to those elements so that those absolutely positioned elements appear relative to that parent element.
#crumbs ul li a:after ( content : "" ; border-top : 40px solid red ; border-bottom : 40px solid red ; border-left : 40px solid blue ; position : absolute ; right : -40px ; top : 0 ; )
Now we'll create a chevron effect in CSS, which was previously only achievable using a background image. Use the :after selector to create an additional element that can be individually styled. The triangular shape is created using different CSS borders, so as you can see in the previous image, the blue triangle can be created by applying top and bottom borders to intersect the covering area. These borders are colored red for clarity, but if they are transparent, a blue triangle will result. This border effect is then moved into place using absolute positioning.
Border-top : 40px solid transparent ; border-bottom : 40px solid transparent ; border-left : 40px solid #3498db ;
The border effect with the correct color values will create the desired triangle that gives the breadcrumbs the popular chevron shape.
#crumbs ul li a:before ( content : "" ; border-top : 40px solid transparent ; border-bottom : 40px solid transparent ; border-left : 40px solid #d4f2ff ; position : absolute ; left : 0 ; top : 0 ; )
Using the same principles, another triangular shape can be applied to the left side of the breadcrumb. This time, the border color is set to the same color as the background color to hide parts of the link's blue background color.
Padding : 30px 40px 0 80px ;
As links are added to the HTML, the sequence of breadcrumbs increases, separated by interestingly shaped chevrons, thanks to the triangular CSS border effect and a slight right margin.
#crumbs ul li:first-child a ( border-top-left-radius: 10px ; border-bottom-left-radius: 10px ; ) #crumbs ul li:first-child a:before ( display : none ; ) #crumbs ul li:last-child a ( padding-right : 80px ; border-top-right-radius: 10px ; border-bottom-right-radius: 10px ; ) #crumbs ul li:last-child a:after ( display : none ; )
The complete breadcrumb box can be further styled by removing the triangle effect from the first and last elements with the :first-child and :last-child selectors, after which you can give the corners a little rounding with the border-radius property.
#crumbs ul li a:hover ( background : #fa5ba5 ; ) #crumbs ul li a:hover :after ( border-left-color : #fa5ba5 ; )
All that's left is to apply the hover effect to the links. Don't forget to change the value of the border-left-color property for the triangle effect on the hover state so that the whole breadcrumb changes color.
Translation - Desk
CSS and CSS3 have come a long way in recent times, so the old styles that use images in the background to get the right shape are no longer required.
In this article, I'll show you how to make breadcrumbs on a website using flat HTML and CSS. You can also look at interesting sites, something might come in handy. I recently made a compilation.
At the end we will get the following result:
Previously, in order to make transparent arrows between two blocks, a transparent background image was used. Now this problem can be solved using only CSS.
1. Frame crumbs
- Breadcrumb
First, let's create a bulleted list −
- , which will
- elements. Breadcrumb will be added by adding new
- .
2. Add CSS
Now let's write the CSS to look like this:
#crumbs ul li a ( display: block; float: left; height: 50px; background: #3498db; text-align: center; padding: 30px 40px 0 40px; position: relative; margin: 0 10px 0 0; font-size : 20px; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; )
These styles add:
- block view and blue color
- center the text and make it white
- smooth padding so that the block is displayed correctly vertically
- resets other styles for links with text-decoration: none
Attention: position: relative added in order to later contain all indoor units with position: absolute.
3. How to Create the Arrow Effect
#crumbs ul li a:after ( content: ""; border-top: 40px solid red; border-bottom: 40px solid red; border-left: 40px solid blue; position: absolute; right: -40px; top: 0; )
To create arrows, we will use the property :after, which allows you to create an additional element after the parent. We add to him position: absolute- that's what we did positive: relative for links to keep absolute property inside the link and manipulate it however we want.
The appearance of the arrow will be made using borders. The example uses red on purpose, but to make it look like a triangle, it will use transparent. Further border will be pushed into place using position: absolute.
4. Add transparency with border
We change red V border on transparent to create a transparency effect.
Border-top: 40px solid transparent; border-bottom: 40px solid transparent; border-left: 40px solid #3498db;
5. Add an Arrow to the Back
#crumbs ul li a:before ( content: ""; border-top: 40px solid transparent; border-bottom: 40px solid transparent; border-left: 40px solid #d4f2ff; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; )
Using the same principle as in the third step, you can create a transparent triangle behind the block. Color border should be set as the back color of the site to create a transparent effect.
Padding: 30px 40px 0 80px;
5. Adding new elements
By adding new
- increase the depth of the breadcrumbs.
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
6. First and last
-
To create a rounded effect for the first and last element in the breadcrumb we will use :first child And :last child.
#crumbs ul li:first-child a ( border-top-left-radius: 10px; border-bottom-left-radius: 10px; ) #crumbs ul li:first-child a:before ( display: none; ) #crumbs ul li:last-child a ( padding-right: 80px; border-top-right-radius: 10px; border-bottom-right-radius: 10px; ) #crumbs ul li:last-child a:after ( display: none ; )
7. Add hover effect
#crumbs ul li a:hover ( background: #fa5ba5; ) #crumbs ul li a:hover:after ( border-left-color: #fa5ba5; )
Also don't forget to add border-radius when hovering over the first and last element in the breadcrumb.
That's all. If you have any questions - write comments and share the article if you liked it!
How to make breadcrumbs on your website with CSS by bologer
Greetings. Breadcrumbs are quite a useful block on any website because it allows you to see the full path to the page you are currently on. And today I will tell you how to style breadcrumbs in css? Not to create, namely to arrange. In general, there are many options, I will touch on two.
A simple design option - without a picture
The html code mimics breadcrumbs. Let it be like this:
In principle, you can just put down an angle bracket, but then there will be no way to control the thickness of the line. I propose to do it differently, with the help of transformations. Here is the code that will do it:
Cumbs1 a:not(:last-child):after(
content: "";
display: inline-block
width: 5px
height: 5px;
border-top: 2px solid black;
border-right: 2px solid black;
transform: rotate(45deg);
margin-left: 5px
}
.cumbs1 a:hover(
color: orange;
}Perhaps for you it will be complicated selectors, then check out this article. The bottom line is this: using the pseudo-element (about what it is and how to use - ) after adds our separator to the end of each link. It is formed using two frames and rotated 45 degrees. We also add an orange color to the hover links. Here, in principle, and all the design.
Another design option - with a picture
In this case, the breadcrumbs will look more interesting, like this:
To do this, we need an image and some css styles:Cumbs2(
background: orange;
max-width: 250px
}
.cumbs2 a(
display: inline-block
padding: 7px 0
color: #000;
}
.cumbs2 a:not(:last-child)(
background: url(arrow.png) no-repeat 100% 50%;
padding-right: 33px;
}html code I do not quote, because it is the same as in the first case. Where to start here? First, we define the background color and size of the entire block with breadcrumbs. Next, we set the general styles for links - block-inline type, indentation at the top and bottom, and color.
The next step is the most interesting - using the not pseudo-class, select all links in the block, except for the last one, and set a background image for them arrow.png , without repetition, with the background position in the middle in height and at the very end in the width of one link. The first two links need the inner indent on the right just to place the picture there. If it weren't there, the picture would run into the text.
How the not pseudo-class works, I think you have already guessed - it selects all elements, except for what is indicated in brackets. If anything, in the future I will write another short note about working with the pseudo-class:not , where everything will be more clear. Well, here are 2 simple breadcrumb designs that you can use to make your own.
