I am going to show how to get the attached arrow breadcrumb as shown in the below image.
This breadcrumb contains no images so that it is easy to expand the menu based on the length of the word and it minimizes the loading time of the images.
Here we start,
HTML
<ul id="breadcrumbs-one">
<li><a href="">Test Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="">Test Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="">Test Link 3</a></li>
<li><a href="">Test Link 4</a></li>
<li><a href="" class="current">Test Link 5</a></li>
</ul>
CSS
ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#breadcrumbs-one{
background: #000;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #f5f5f5 #e5e5e5 #ccc;

/* Clear floats */
overflow: hidden;

}
#breadcrumbs-one li{
float: left;
}
#breadcrumbs-one a{
padding: .7em 1em .7em 2em;
float: left;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
position: relative;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5);
background-color: #ddd;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right bottom, from(#f5f5f5), to(#ddd));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #f5f5f5, #ddd);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #f5f5f5, #ddd);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #f5f5f5, #ddd);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(left, #f5f5f5, #ddd);
background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #f5f5f5, #ddd);
}
#breadcrumbs-one li:first-child a{
padding-left: 1em;
-moz-border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
}
#breadcrumbs-one a:hover{
background: #000;
}
#breadcrumbs-one a::after,
#breadcrumbs-one a::before{
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -1.5em;
border-top: 1.5em solid transparent;
border-bottom: 1.5em solid transparent;
border-left: 1em solid;
right: -1em;
}
#breadcrumbs-one a::after{
z-index: 2;
border-left-color: #ddd;
}
#breadcrumbs-one a::before{
border-left-color: #ccc;
right: -1.1em;
z-index: 1;
}
#breadcrumbs-one a:hover::after{
border-left-color: #000;
}
#breadcrumbs-one .current,
#breadcrumbs-one .current:hover{
font-weight: bold;
background: none;
}
#breadcrumbs-one .current::after,
#breadcrumbs-one .current::before{
content: normal;
}
This gives the result as shown in the sample image above.
