I tried to make some square background using CSS only, but i got just line background without the option of horizontal lines.



This is my example code:



CSS






.container{
background-color:red;
width: 400px; height:200px; margin:0 auto;
background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, .5) 95px , transparent 50%),
linear-gradient(rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 5px, transparent 100%);
background-size: 100px 100%;
}

<div class="container">

</div>





And this is the result that I am looking for
enter image description here



This is the result that I got for now

  • Solutions below. The answer to what goes wrong in your code is in the second linear-gradient, both colours are fully transparent, so it does not have any visible result!

All you need is two gradients, one to define the horizontal lines and the other the vertical ones:






.container {
background-color: red;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
background:
repeating-linear-gradient(to right,
transparent 0,transparent calc(50px - 2px),
blue calc(50px - 2px),blue 50px),

repeating-linear-gradient(to bottom,
transparent 0,transparent calc(50px - 2px),
blue calc(50px - 2px),blue 50px)
red;
}

<div class="container">

</div>





The above example will create an homogeneous grid. You can also consider multiple gradient in order to control each line alone:






.container {
background-color: red;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
background:
/*vertical ones*/
linear-gradient(blue,blue) center/2px 100%,
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 25% 0/2px 100%,
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 85% 0/2px 100%,
/*horizontal ones*/
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 0 25%/100% 2px,
linear-gradient(blue,blue) 0 75%/100% 2px,

red;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}

<div class="container">

</div>
