Css add gradient to Element + Before


I'm drawing a tooltip box with Css. Now I would like to apply a gradient to the whole box including the triangle. But the gradient is always only applied to the box.

I tried to put the gradient into the after element, but that doesnt work either. I would just color the triangle in one color, but I need to be able to move it to other places too.

This isn't a duplicate question, as in other answers, the triangle is just colored in the end color of the gradient. But I would like the gradient to also apply to the triangle.

enter image description here

Here's an example:

body {
  background-color: tomato;
}
#bubble {
  position: absolute;
  top: 50px;
  left: 50px;
  width: 154px;
  height: 140px;
  padding: 0px;
  background: #FFFFFF;
  -webkit-border-radius: 6px;
  -moz-border-radius: 6px;
  border-radius: 6px;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 1em;
  font-weight: 500;
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(rgba(223, 204, 206, 0.9) 0%, rgba(242, 144, 127, 1) 100%);
  background: -o-linear-gradient(rgba(223, 204, 206, 0.9) 0%, rgba(242, 144, 127, 1) 100%);
  background: linear-gradient(rgba(223, 204, 206, 0.9) 0%, rgba(242, 144, 127, 1) 100%);
  / filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#e6dfccce', endColorstr='#f2907f', GradientType=0);
}
#bubble:after {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 15px 16px 0px;
  border-color: #FFFFFF transparent;
  display: block;
  width: 0;
  z-index: 1;
  bottom: -15px;
  left: 59px;
}
#bubble > :first-child {
  margin-top: 19px;
}
.answerWrapper {
  width: 100%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}
.answerWrapperText {
  width: 40px;
  height: 38px;
  color: #131313;
  border: solid 2px #131313;
}
.answerWrapper > :first-child {
  margin: 0 0 0 18px;
}
.answerWrapper > :nth-child(2) {
  margin: 0 18px 0 0;
}
.answerWrapperText p {
  margin: 0;
  margin-top: 9px;
}
<div id="bubble">
  <p>Have you
    <br>chosen wisely&#8239;?</p>
  <div class="answerWrapper">
    <div class="answerWrapperText">
      <p id="yes">yes</p>
    </div>
    <div class="answerWrapperText">
      <p id="no">no</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>


Solution

  • So my solution is to draw it with canvas.

    enter image description here

    var bubbleBackground;
    
    function initCanvas () {
    	bubbleBackground = document.createElement('canvas');
    	bubbleBackground.id = "BubbleId";
    	bubbleBackground.width = 184;
    	bubbleBackground.height = 170;
    	bubbleBackground.style.position = "absolute";
    	document.body.appendChild(bubbleBackground);
    }
    
    function drawCanvas (drawDirection) {
    
    	var ctx = document.getElementById('BubbleId').getContext("2d");
    
    	//clear canvas before draw
    	ctx.clearRect(0, 0, bubbleBackground.width, bubbleBackground.height);
    	//set to draw normally
    	ctx.globalCompositeOperation="source-over";
    
    	var posX = 15;
    	var posY = 15;
    	ctx.roundRect(posX, posY, 154, 140, 6);
    	ctx.fillStyle = 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)';
    	ctx.fill();
    
    	switch(drawDirection) {
        case "top":
            ctx.beginPath();
    	    ctx.moveTo(106,15);
    	    ctx.lineTo(78,15);
    	    ctx.lineTo(92,3);
    	    ctx.fill();
            break;
        case "right":
        	ctx.beginPath();
    	    ctx.moveTo(169,71);
    	    ctx.lineTo(181,85);
    	    ctx.lineTo(169,99);
    	    ctx.fill();        
            break;
        case "bottom":
            ctx.beginPath();
    	    ctx.moveTo(78,155);
    	    ctx.lineTo(106,155);
    	    ctx.lineTo(92,167);
    	    ctx.fill();
            break;
        case "left":
            ctx.beginPath();
    	    ctx.moveTo(15,71);
    	    ctx.lineTo(15,99);
    	    ctx.lineTo(3,85);
    	    ctx.fill();
            break;
        default:
            console.log("no arrow")
    	} 
    
    	//draw gradient
    	ctx.globalCompositeOperation="source-in";
    	var grd=ctx.createLinearGradient(0,0,0,170);
    	grd.addColorStop(0, 'rgba(223,204,206,0.9)');
    	grd.addColorStop(1, 'rgba(242,144,127,1)');
    
    	ctx.fillStyle=grd;
    	ctx.fillRect(0,0,184,170);
    
    }
    
    CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.roundRect = function (x, y, width, height, radius) {
      if (width < 2 * radius) radius = width / 2;
      if (height < 2 * radius) radius = height / 2;
      this.beginPath();
      this.moveTo(x + radius, y);
      this.arcTo(x + width, y, x + width, y + height, radius);
      this.arcTo(x + width, y + height, x, y + height, radius);
      this.arcTo(x, y + height, x, y, radius);
      this.arcTo(x, y, x + width, y, radius);
      this.closePath();
      return this;
    }
    
    initCanvas();
    drawCanvas("right");
