It is possible to achieve this ribbon using only CSS?
The HTML:
<div class="box">
<div class="ribbon">
<div class="txt">
Example Text
</div>
</div>
<div>
The CSS:
.box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #a0a0a0;
position: relative;
}
.ribbon {
-webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(-45deg);
-o-transform: rotate(-45deg);
transform: rotate(-45deg);
border: 25px solid transparent;
border-top: 25px solid #757575;
position: absolute;
bottom: 20px;
right: -50px;
padding: 0 10px;
width: 120px;
color: white;
font-family: sans-serif;
size: 11px;
}
.ribbon .txt {
position: absolute;
top: -20px;
left: 20px;
}

(PS. Everything but the rotation is still going to work in older browsers.)
