I'm trying to build a button that has some notification attached to it and am trying to emulate the facebook notification styles. A little red circle in the top right corner with a number in it.
I'm having some issues with it though. I can't seem to get the circle in the right place or to get the number to actually sit inside of it.
my button looks like this
<button class="btn btn-blue" id="noteBtn">Notes <span class="notification">1</span></button>
and I've tred to do this with my css
.notification:before {
content: ' \25CF';
font-size: 5em;
color:red;
}
here is a js fiddle I was working with
