Polygon Button with Pure CSS

Question

I need to encode a polygon button with an outline with pure css and html. This is what I have now, but I can’t figure out how to add a circuit. This must also be supported in IE. How to do it?

/**** CSS ***/ #statement .polygon { width: 290px; height: 75px; background: #590f20; position: relative; color: #F94141; text-align: center; font-size: 1.8em; line-height: 2.9em; font-weight: 400; text-transform: uppercase; margin-top: 50px; margin-bottom: 35px; } #statement .bottom:before { content: ""; position: absolute; top: 0; left: -50px; width: 0; height: 0; border-left: 25px solid transparent; border-right: 25px solid #590f20; border-bottom: 37.5px solid transparent; } #statement .bottom:after { content: ""; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 290px; width: 0; height: 0; border-left: 25px solid #590f20; border-right: 25px solid transparent; border-bottom: 37.5px solid transparent; } #statement .top:before { content: ""; position: absolute; bottom: 37.5px; left: -50px; width: 0; height: 0; border-left: 25px solid transparent; border-right: 25px solid #590f20; border-top: 37.5px solid transparent; } #statement .top:after { content: ""; position: absolute; bottom: 37.5px; left: 290px; width: 0; height: 0; border-left: 25px solid #590f20; border-right: 25px solid transparent; border-top: 37.5px solid transparent; } 

 <div id="statement"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2"> <div class="heading"> <h1></h1> </div> </div> </div> <!-- /.row --> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-4-5"> <a class="button" href="#button"> <div class="polygon bottom top"> Work With Us </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <!-- /.containter --> </div> <!-- /#statement -->

You can try using css clip-path ploygon and then add another div to get the border.

 #statement .polygon .outer { display: inline-block; width: 290px; height: 75px; background: #590f20; position: relative; color: #F94141; text-align: center; font-size: 1.8em; line-height: 2.9em; font-weight: 400; text-transform: uppercase; -webkit-clip-path: polygon(30px 80px, 0px 50%, 30px 0px, 260px 0px, 290px 50%, 260px 80px); clip-path: polygon(30px 80px, 0px 50%, 30px 0px, 260px 0px, 290px 50%, 260px 80px); -webkit-transform: scale(0.98, 0.95); transform: scale(0.98, 0.95); } #statement .polygon.border { -webkit-clip-path: polygon(30px 80px, 0px 50%, 30px 0px, 260px 0px, 290px 50%, 260px 80px); clip-path: polygon(30px 80px, 0px 50%, 30px 0px, 260px 0px, 290px 50%, 260px 80px); background-color: orange; } 

 <div id="statement"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-8 col-md-offset-2"> <div class="heading"> <h1></h1> </div> </div> </div> <!-- /.row --> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-4-5"> <a class="button" href="#button"> <div class="polygon border"> <span class="outer"> Work With Us </span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <!-- /.containter --> </div> <!-- /#statement -->

While SVG may be an option here, I (should) add a CSS version. Here is a quick demo using a fixed height but variable width:

 div { margin: 50px; height: 50px; min-width: 100px; background: lightgray; position: relative; display: inline-block; border-top: 5px solid gold; border-bottom: 5px solid gold; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px; line-height: 50px; cursor:pointer; } div:before, div:after { content: ""; position: absolute; top: -5px; height: 37px; width: 37px; background: inherit; transform: rotate(45deg); transform-origin: top left; } div:before { left: 0; border-left: 5px solid gold; border-bottom: 5px solid gold; } div:after { left: 100%; border-top: 5px solid gold; border-right: 5px solid gold; } /*demo only*/ html {background: #222;} 

 <div>SOME TEXT</div>
