image-less pure-CSS arrow tags

Question

Is there a way a way to create Delicious-like "arrow tags" without the use of images:

I'm familiar with the border-triangle technique, but couldn't get that to look decent (in part because we'd need an additional outer border to frame the entire component).

Answer 1

I create a little example may be that's you want .

CSS

div{
    padding:5px 10px;
    font-size:12px;
    -moz-border-radius:0 5px 5px 0;
    -webkit-border-radius:0 5px 5px 0;
    float:left;
    margin-left:30px;
    margin-top:20px;
    position:relative;
    font-family:verdana;
    color:#3b3d3c;
    border:1px solid #d5d5d7;
    border-left:0;
}

div{
    background: -moz-linear-gradient( top , #fbfdfc 0%,#f6f5f5 100%);
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient( top , #fbfdfc 0%,#f6f5f5 100%);  
}

div:after{
    content:"";
     width:18px;
     height:18px;
     background: -moz-linear-gradient( left top , #fbfdfc 0%,#f6f5f5 100%);
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient( left top , #fbfdfc 0%,#f6f5f5 100%);
     -moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
     -webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
     display:block;
    position:absolute;
    top:3px;
    left:-10px;
    z-index:-1;
    border:1px solid  #d5d5d7;
}
