[css] How to position a CSS triangle using ::after?

I've created a div with a bottom arrow using ::after. Here is the HTML code:

<div class="sidebar-resources-categories">Topics</div>
<div class="text-content">ok ok</div>

And here is the CSS:

.sidebar-resources-categories{
    height: 50px;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    background-color: #e8e8e8;
    font-weight: 600;
    line-height: 50px;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 20px;
}
.sidebar-resources-categories::after{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    left: 42%;
    top: 100%;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border-left: 20px solid transparent;
    border-right: 20px solid transparent;
    border-top: 20px solid #e8e8e8;
    clear: both;
}

Here is the result:

I would like the arrow to be at the very bottom of the grey div. I don't want to have the content between the div and the bottom arrow. Do you know how I can do that?

The answer is


You can set triangle with position see this code for reference

.top-left-corner {
    width: 0px;
    height: 0px;
    border-top: 0px solid transparent;
    border-bottom: 55px solid transparent;
    border-left: 55px solid #289006;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0px;
    top: 0px;
}

Add a class:

.com_box:after {
     content: '';
    position: absolute;
    left: 18px;
    top: 50px;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border-left: 20px solid transparent;
    border-right: 20px solid transparent;
    border-top: 20px solid #000;
    clear: both;

}
