Make a 5 point star in CSS

The first thing we will do is set up our div and we will call it star.

[code]<div id="star"></div>[/code]

Next we will add the CSS to give us a purple star.

[code]

<style>
#star{
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 100px 100px 100px;

}
#star {

}
#star:before {
