Apologies for being blunt, but this is what I truly feel after weeks of struggle with Backbone-Relational. Some of the features library boasts are great, but some other problems make its usage horrible. So if you are lured by the cool features this framework claims, here is my candid advice: keep some Disprin tablets along because it is going to give you some serious headaches.

In one of my older posts, we learned about creating a speech balloon with pure CSS. As I mentioned at the end of the post, the technique had a little flaw in it: in order to create an arrow along the box, we had to prepend a new div within the box div. Although it did serve the purpose, it didn’t look much sophisticated. In this post, I will try to explain how we can create the arrow without prepending a new div within the box div. Hence the only thing you will need to balloonify any HTML element would be to add class “balloon” in it.
