I m wondering if there s an easier way to create circular divs than what I m doing now   Currently  I am just making an image for each different size  but it s annoying to do this   Is there anyway using CSS to make divs which are circular and I can specify the radius

For circle  create a div element and then enter width   2 times of the border radius   2 times padding  Also line-height   0 For example  with 50px as radii of the circle  the below code works well     width  100px  padding  50px 0  border  solid  line-height  0px  border-radius  50px

Adding the css property of   border-radius  50     to any div makes it circular

basically this uses div s position absolute to place a character at the given coordinates  so using the parametric equation for a circle  you can draw a circle   if you were to change div s position to relative  it ll result in a sine wave     in essence we are graphing equations by abusing the position property   i m not versed well in css  so someone can surely make this more elegant   enjoy   this works on all browsers and mobile devices  that i m aware of    i use it on my own website to draw sine waves of text  www cpixel com    the original source of this code is found here  www mathopenref com coordcirclealgorithm html       lt html gt       lt head gt  lt  head gt       lt body gt       lt script language  Javascript  gt       var x center   50    0 in both x center and y center will place the center     var y center   50     at the top left of the browser     var resolution step   360    how many times to stop along the circle to plot your character      var radius   50    how big ya want your circle      var plot character           could use any character here  try letters words for cool effects     var div top offset 10      var div left offset 10      var x y       for   var angle theta   0   angle theta  lt  2   Math PI   angle theta    2   Math PI resolution step            x   x center   radius   Math cos angle theta           y   y center - radius   Math sin angle theta           document write   lt div style  position absolute top      y div top offset      left     x div left offset       gt     plot character     lt  div gt                 lt  script gt       lt  body gt       lt  html gt

It is actually possible   See  CSS Tip  How to Make Circles Without Images  See demo   But be warned  It has serious disadvantages in terms of compatibility basically  you are making a cat bark   See it working here  As you will see you just have to set up the height and width to half the border-radius  Good luck

Let s say you have this image     to make a circle out of this you only need to add   circle     border-radius  50     width  100px    height  100px       So if you have a div you can do the same thing   Check the example below    x000D   x000D   circle   x000D    border-radius  50   x000D    width  100px  x000D    height  100px   x000D    animation  stackoverflow-example infinite 20s linear  x000D    pointer-events  none  x000D    x000D   x000D   keyframes stackoverflow-example   x000D    from   x000D      transform  rotate 0deg   x000D      x000D    to   x000D      transform  rotate 360deg   x000D      x000D    x000D   lt div gt  x000D     lt img class  circle  src  https   www sitepoint com wp-content themes sitepoint assets images icon javascript png  gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

There s also  the bad idea of  using several  20   horizontal or vertical 1px divs to construct a circle  This jQuery plugin uses this method to construct different shapes
