IS it possible, I know all the following shapes are possible in this link:
http://css-tricks.com/examples/ShapesOfCSS/
but cross must be possible too. When I say cross I mean like this:
You could achieve something like this with pseudoelements only:
http://jsbin.com/upiyoc/1/edit
#cross {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
#cross:before, #cross:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
background: #d00;
}
#cross:before {
left: 50%;
width: 30%;
margin-left: -15%;
height: 100%;
}
#cross:after {
top: 50%;
height: 30%;
margin-top: -15%;
width: 100%;
}
The size of the cross will proportionally scale, according to the width
and height
of the #cross
element
Update: another solution (using less code) could simply involve multiple linear-gradients (without pseudolements) e.g.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/zxwgPo
#cross {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 35%,
#d00 35%,
#d00 65%,
transparent 65%),
linear-gradient(to right, transparent 35%,
#d00 35%,
#d00 65%,
transparent 65%),
}
