So let me explain how it works. For those of you who just want the code and dont want to see the process, here is the CodePen .
I have never done something like this before so my first goal was the 3 orange ovals.
So I started off with the HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>CSS Pumpkin</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="pumpkin.css"> </head> <body> <div> <p>The HTML does not really change anything now but it also don't show anything yet. Time for the CSS.<br> </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">body { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh; } .pumpkin { position: relative; display: flex; align-items: center; } .left{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; } .right{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; } .center{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; }
This outputs 3 Perfect orange Ovals side by side. What is going on here? First, we centre the pumpkin div in the centre of the page using the body tag. We doing this with the first 3 lines. Next, we use height: 100vh; To tell the code that the body tag is taking up 100% of the screen. Without this it will the body tag will only be as big as the content, meaning that the Ovals will be centred across the top of the page. So here is what it looks like.
Next, We want the circles to overlap, this can be done fairly easily by giving the left and right Ovals a negative margin.
.left{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; margin-right: -45px; } .right{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; margin-left: -45px; }
So here we moving the right Ovel over to the left by 45 pixels and the left Ovel to the right by 45 pixels. (I'm not going to add a photo of this stage as I still have not got a way to deal with storing photos)
Now for the harder part (Some, ok a lot of Google was used)
.stem { position: absolute; top: -30px; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%); /* Center the stem horizontally with in the contanter */ width: 30px; height: 60px; background-color: brown; border-radius: 3px; z-index: -1; } .curve{ position: absolute; top: -47px; left: 43%; transform: translateX(-50%); /* Center the stem horizontally with in the contanter */ transform: rotate(-15deg); width: 30px; height: 30px; background-color: brown; border-radius: 3px; z-index: -1; }
So width , height, border-radius and background-color are pretty self-explanatory. So im going to skip over it. Starting with position: absolute; what this does is remove the div from the flow of the website. Instead, it is based on the nearest anchor point. position: absolute; Can be placed over any element. Next, to centre the Stem horizontally we use left: 50% and transform: translateX(-50%); It makes sense when you think about it but you do have to think about it to start left: 50% Centers the left edge of the stem within the pumpkin div. I want the centre of the stem to be in the centre of the pumpkin. transform: translateX(-50%); moves the stem back over towards the left side by half the stem size. top: -47px; Does pretty much what you expect. It moves the top edge upwards by 47 px. z-index is a thing I have found recently, basically the height of the element. I want the z-index to be behind the pumpkin so I give it a z-index : -1 while the pumpkin has the default index of 0. This is what it looks like.
Finally the Eyes, mouth and background. Let's start with the eyes,
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>CSS Pumpkin</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="pumpkin.css"> </head> <body> <div> <p>The HTML does not really change anything now but it also don't show anything yet. Time for the CSS.<br> </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false">body { display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; height: 100vh; } .pumpkin { position: relative; display: flex; align-items: center; } .left{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; } .right{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; } .center{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; }
So this looks scarier than it is border-width: 0 50px 41px 30px; So here we setting the length of each side of the square. It starts from the top and works its way around clockwise. So the top of the square has a length of 0. This is because triangles have 3 sides this trick lets us remove one of the sides making a triangle. Then the right side is 50px long, the bottom is 50px long and the left side is 30px long. For the right Eye we flip the left and right values so it points in the other direction. border-color: transparent transparent #000000 transparent; So you may wonder why are there so many transparents. Well you see there is actually 3 triangles here (one of them doesn't exist because of the 0 widths) We only want to colour the bottom triangle so we set the other 3 to transparent. border-style: solid; We want the triangle to have a solid fill so we have to set the style to Solid. We have not really filled the triangle in instead we have a really big border so it looks like we have. After all of this, we now have the eyes.
The last step is the smile.
.left{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; margin-right: -45px; } .right{ width: 110px; height: 160px; background: rgb(255, 117, 24); border-radius: 50%; margin-left: -45px; }
border-top-left-radius: 110px; and border-top-right-radius: 110px; define how rounded the top corners will be. This is the bit that makes the semi-circle however this will also put the curve at the top. To fix this I added transform: rotate(190deg) To rotate it to be a Smile and used left: 25%; to make it slightly off Center. So here is the final result.

I will admit it's not the prettiest of solutions or the most efficient, however, it was my first time trying to draw something in CSS and I'm rather happy with it. As always feel free to leave me feedback over on Discord or reddit.

There are three ways to create a CSS loading rotator: 1. Use the basic rotator of borders to achieve simple animation through HTML and CSS; 2. Use a custom rotator of multiple points to achieve the jump effect through different delay times; 3. Add a rotator in the button and switch classes through JavaScript to display the loading status. Each approach emphasizes the importance of design details such as color, size, accessibility and performance optimization to enhance the user experience.

To deal with CSS browser compatibility and prefix issues, you need to understand the differences in browser support and use vendor prefixes reasonably. 1. Understand common problems such as Flexbox and Grid support, position:sticky invalid, and animation performance is different; 2. Check CanIuse confirmation feature support status; 3. Correctly use -webkit-, -moz-, -ms-, -o- and other manufacturer prefixes; 4. It is recommended to use Autoprefixer to automatically add prefixes; 5. Install PostCSS and configure browserslist to specify the target browser; 6. Automatically handle compatibility during construction; 7. Modernizr detection features can be used for old projects; 8. No need to pursue consistency of all browsers,

Setting the style of links you have visited can improve the user experience, especially in content-intensive websites to help users navigate better. 1. Use CSS's: visited pseudo-class to define the style of the visited link, such as color changes; 2. Note that the browser only allows modification of some attributes due to privacy restrictions; 3. The color selection should be coordinated with the overall style to avoid abruptness; 4. The mobile terminal may not display this effect, and it is recommended to combine it with other visual prompts such as icon auxiliary logos.

Use the clip-path attribute of CSS to crop elements into custom shapes, such as triangles, circular notches, polygons, etc., without relying on pictures or SVGs. Its advantages include: 1. Supports a variety of basic shapes such as circle, ellipse, polygon, etc.; 2. Responsive adjustment and adaptable to mobile terminals; 3. Easy to animation, and can be combined with hover or JavaScript to achieve dynamic effects; 4. It does not affect the layout flow, and only crops the display area. Common usages are such as circular clip-path:circle (50pxatcenter) and triangle clip-path:polygon (50%0%, 100 0%, 0 0%). Notice

To create responsive images using CSS, it can be mainly achieved through the following methods: 1. Use max-width:100% and height:auto to allow the image to adapt to the container width while maintaining the proportion; 2. Use HTML's srcset and sizes attributes to intelligently load the image sources adapted to different screens; 3. Use object-fit and object-position to control image cropping and focus display. Together, these methods ensure that the images are presented clearly and beautifully on different devices.

The choice of CSS units depends on design requirements and responsive requirements. 1.px is used for fixed size, suitable for precise control but lack of elasticity; 2.em is a relative unit, which is easily caused by the influence of the parent element, while rem is more stable based on the root element and is suitable for global scaling; 3.vw/vh is based on the viewport size, suitable for responsive design, but attention should be paid to the performance under extreme screens; 4. When choosing, it should be determined based on whether responsive adjustments, element hierarchy relationships and viewport dependence. Reasonable use can improve layout flexibility and maintenance.

Different browsers have differences in CSS parsing, resulting in inconsistent display effects, mainly including the default style difference, box model calculation method, Flexbox and Grid layout support level, and inconsistent behavior of certain CSS attributes. 1. The default style processing is inconsistent. The solution is to use CSSReset or Normalize.css to unify the initial style; 2. The box model calculation method of the old version of IE is different. It is recommended to use box-sizing:border-box in a unified manner; 3. Flexbox and Grid perform differently in edge cases or in old versions. More tests and use Autoprefixer; 4. Some CSS attribute behaviors are inconsistent. CanIuse must be consulted and downgraded.
