CSS Responsive Triangle Width


Simple question really, I want to know how I would make a triangles width (made in css with the below code) equal to the page width so when the browser resizes so does the triangle.

My Code, So far

.triangle {
    color: crimson;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    margin-top: 30%;
    border-top: 100px solid crimson;
    border-left: 100px solid transparent;
    border-right: 100px solid transparent;
}

Solution

  • .triangle {
        color: crimson;
        width: 0;
        height: 0;
        margin-top: 30%;
        border-top: 100px solid crimson;
        border-left: 50vw solid transparent; /* check border size here! */
        border-right: 50vw solid transparent; /* and here! */
    }

    Browser support is not an issue.
