Create doughnut shape in CSS

Question

I know how to create a css circle with border radius etc, but i'm interested in creating a css only doughnut shape roughly like this one here -> enter image description here

It would be one div but curved round back onto itself,

any ideas??

I don't think it's possible with just one div. Now two divs is a different story... — Brigand, Dec 12 '11 at 01:14
@FakeRainBrigand it's definitely possibly with one div if you use :after like most css shapes. :) — Joseph Marikle, Dec 12 '11 at 01:15
or like this... not exactly a div curved back onto itself but a=it's one way. :P Only tested in chrome and obviously must be viewed in a css3 compatible browser. http://jsfiddle.net/VJtnA/ — Joseph Marikle, Dec 12 '11 at 01:20

This shape can also be drawn with css3 radial-gradient():

div {
  background: radial-gradient(circle, transparent 40%, purple 40%);
}

body {
  background: linear-gradient(orange, red) no-repeat;
  min-height: 100vh;
  margin: 0;
}

div {
  background: radial-gradient(circle, transparent 40%, purple 40%);
  border-radius: 100%;
  height: 300px;
  width: 300px;
  margin: 25px;
}

<div></div>

Brilliant, lets the DOM unchanged, which can definitely be a deal-breaker when dealing with hundreds of elements. – Bil5 Apr 29 '21 at 10:57

Just set the border radius to 50% of the div width:
