How to create a line next to comments like the image?

  • Hello to everyone reading this!

    I have created a blog comment style in here :

    now I want to put a line like image below to it :

    thanks in advance!

  • Can this be done with :after and :before elements?

  • Probably...but I'm not sure that's necessarily the best solution.

    I'd have to think but I would assume there are a variety of comment 'types' that could be used as classes and background images would work.

  • Not with all the overflow: hidden you have :( I tried. Best would be to try to make those lines borders (so you would have to redesign the whole thing so the edges align with the lines)... I think.

  • I would personally just use a background image (positioned left, no repeat) for each comment in the ul with class "children".

    There's some additional stuff that will be needed (the "main" comment shouldn't have a line down when there's no child comments, for example) but that's where I would start.

  • I was think more along the lines of bg images in the left padding depending on the comment type/hierarchy.

    EDIT: Ah...@Senff beat me to it.

  • I think the have this style in here: (search category > right-hand sidebar)
