对于 :before 和 :after 选择器，大家并不陌生，但是很少有人会主动去用它们。先解释下它们的定义和用法：
:before 选择器在被选元素的内容前面插入内容，:after 选择器在被选元素的内容后面插入内容，都会使用 content 属性来指定要插入的内容。
有时候，项目中或多或少需要一些箭头，如果用图片来做，感觉就有点 low 了，而上面这两个选择器是最好的选择。效果如下：
html 代码如下：
<div class="test"></div>
css 代码如下：
.test {
position: relative;
120px;
height: 40px;
border: 1px solid #d2d2d2;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.test:after {
position: absolute;
right: 15px;
top: 18px;
0;
height: 0;
content: "";
border- 6px 6px 0 6px; /*border- 6px 6px 6px 6px;*/
border-style: solid;
border-color: #fff transparent; /*red transparent transparent transparent;*/
-webkit-transition: all .25s;
-moz-transition: all .25s;
-ms-transition: all .25s;
-o-transition: all .25s;
transition: all .25s;
}
.test:before {
position: absolute;
right: 13px;
top: 18px;
0;
height: 0;
content: "";
border- 8px 8px 0 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #d36969 transparent;
-webkit-transition: transform .25s;
-moz-transition: transform .25s;
-ms-transition: transform .25s;
-o-transition: transform .25s;
transition: transform .25s;
}
.test.active:after{
top: 20px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(180deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
-o-transform: rotate(180deg);
transform: rotate(180deg);
}
.test.active:before{
-webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(180deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
-o-transform: rotate(180deg);
transform: rotate(180deg);
}
通过 :before 和 :after 两个伪元素，设置 content 为空，宽高为零，边框和颜色，生成两个等边三角形，一个是红色的三角，其边长稍大，一个是白色的三角。会有人问为什么白色三角是通过 :after 生成的，因为 :after 生成的白色三角才能覆盖在 :before 生成的红色三角，而形成一个箭头(一定要设置好定位的 top 值，使两个三角的底边重合)。
js 代码如下：
$('.test').on('click',function(){
$(this).toggleClass('active');
})
点击的时候箭头会旋转180度，效果如下：
分析：
加z-index: 10前后：
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
.test {
position: relative;
120px;
height: 40px;
border: 1px solid red;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.test:after {
position: absolute;
right: 15px;
top: 18px;
0;
height: 0;
content: "";
border- 6px 6px 6px 6px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: red transparent transparent transparent;
transition: all .25s;
}
.test:before {
position: absolute;
right: 13px;
top: 18px;
0;
height: 0;
content: "";
border- 8px 8px 8px 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: green transparent;
transition: transform .25s;
/*z-index: 10;*/
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="test">aaaaaa</div>
</body>
</html>
修改1：
.test:before {
position: absolute;
right: 13px;
top: 18px;
0;
height: 0;
content: "";
border- 8px 8px 8px 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: green transparent transparent transparent;
transition: transform .25s;
/*z-index: 10;*/
}
修改后的样式：
.test:after {
position: absolute;
right: 15px;
top: 18px;
0;
height: 0;
content: "";
border- 6px 6px 6px 6px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: white transparent transparent transparent;
transition: all .25s;
}
.test:before {
position: absolute;
right: 13px;
top: 18px;
0;
height: 0;
content: "";
border- 8px 8px 8px 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: green transparent transparent transparent;
transition: transform .25s;
/*z-index: 10;*/
}
