Coding a shape with CSS

I've created a shape purely by CSS. The following link includes my work.

http://jsfiddle.net/kaHek/119/

CSS:

#applicationStatus {
position: relative;
width: 630px;
height: 140px;
top: 20px;
left: 40px; }

ul.applicationStatus {
list-style: none; }

li.applicationStatus, li.applicationStatusGood, li.applicationStatusNoGood {
height: 140px;
background-color: #767676;
display: inline-block;
/* Dirty IE Hack */
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;
margin-right: 30px;
padding: 10px;
color: white;
font-size: 18px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 150px;
/*      vertical-align: middle; */ }
li.applicationStatus:after, li.applicationStatusGood:after, li.applicationStatusNoGood:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-top: 80px solid transparent;
border-left: 30px solid #77a942;
border-bottom: 80px solid transparent;
margin: -10px 90px 0 0px; }

HTML

<div id="applicationStatus">
    <ul>
        <li class="applicationStatus">Başvuru Alındı</li>
        <li class="applicationStatusGood">Dil Sınavı</li>
        <li class="applicationStatusNoGood">Sözlü Mülakat</li>
        <li class="applicationStatus">Hibe</li>
    </ul>
</div>

What I'm trying to achieve is the following:

enter image description here

I'm struggling with aligning the arrow part of the image. I created that part with :after pseudo-element with the help of css3shapes.com but I can't seem to align it properly.

Setting the margin value of the after selector works for vertical positioning but not for horizontal positioning.

What should I do?

Check out this code you can achieve exactly what you are seeking for...! :)

Desigred CSS3 Shape

jsfiddle

Code:

HTML:

<div id="css3">
    <ul>
        <li class="css3">HTML5/CSS3</li>
        <li class="css3">Shapes</li>
        <li class="css3">Hello World!</li>
    </ul>

ul.css3 {
  list-style: none;
}

li.css3 {
  height: 140px;
  background-color: #76a942;
  display: inline-block;
  /* Dirty IE Hack */
  zoom: 1;
  padding: 10px;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 1em;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 150px;

li.css3:after {
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border-left: 40px solid #76a942;

Alternatively, you can do this:

fiddle

Relavant code:

li {
    position:relative;
}

li:after {
    right:-30px; /* width of element */
    top:0;
}

Margin Rules:

Margin: 25px 50px 75px 100px;
  • top margin is 25px
  • right margin is 50px
  • bottom margin is 75px
  • left margin is 100px

In your case, this works fine: margin: -10px 90px 0px 10px;

Make sure that last value of this should equal with your padding: 10px; in li.applicationStatus, li.applicationStatusGood, li.applicationStatusNoGood method.
