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?

Just add position:relative to the parent element .sidebar-resources-categories
explanation: the ::after elements position is based off of it's parent, in your example you probably had a parent element of the .sidebar-res... which had a set height, therefore it rendered just below it. Adding position relative to the .sidebar-res... makes the after elements move to 100% of it's parent which now becomes the .sidebar-res... because it's position is set to relative. I'm not sure how to explain it but it's expected behaviour.

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;
}
Updated your jsfiddle:
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;
}
