Draw an arrow between two divs

I highly recommended this library: https://anseki.github.io/leader-line/

It's pretty powerful, fast, super easy to use and it worked flawlessly for me.

I have no idea whether anybody looks at this thread anymore but here's the solution i used, it differs only slightly from @markE answer in that this answer makes it much easier to specify exactly where the line needs to start and stop.

<head>
  <style>
    .arrow{
      stroke:rgb(0,0,0);
      stroke-width:2; 
      marker-end:url(#markerArrow)
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <svg height="210" width="500">
    <defs>
        <marker id="markerArrow" markerWidth="13" markerHeight="13" refX="2" refY="6"
               orient="auto">
            <path d="M2,2 L2,11 L10,6 L2,2" style="fill: #000000;" />
        </marker>
    </defs>
    
    <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="200" y2="100" class="arrow" />
  </svg>

</body>

All you have to do is change the x and y coordinates of the line! I used this answer in my react app and it worked beautifully. And heres the fiddle.

.arrow {
  stroke: rgb(0, 0, 0);
  stroke-width: 2;
  marker-end: url(#markerArrow)
}
<svg height="210" width="500">
  <defs>
    <marker id="markerArrow" markerWidth="13" markerHeight="13" refX="2" refY="6" orient="auto">
      <path d="M2,2 L2,11 L10,6 L2,2" style="fill: #000000;" />
    </marker>
  </defs>
  <line x1="0" y1="0" x2="200" y2="100" class="arrow" />
</svg>

You might consider SVG.

In particular, you can use a line with a marker-end shaped with an arrow-path.

Be sure to set orient=auto so the arrowhead will be rotated to match the slope of the line.

Since SVG is a DOM element, you can control the start/end position of the line in javascript.

Here is code and a Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/m1erickson/9aCsJ/

<svg width="300" height="100">

    <defs>
        <marker id="arrow" markerWidth="13" markerHeight="13" refx="2" refy="6" orient="auto">
            <path d="M2,2 L2,11 L10,6 L2,2" style="fill:red;" />
        </marker>
    </defs>

    <path d="M30,150 L100,50"
          style="stroke:red; stroke-width: 1.25px; fill: none;
                 marker-end: url(#arrow);"
    />

</svg>
