How do I add an arrow to a div?

I'm trying to create an error label for a div with an arrow, but centering issue.

I get: enter image description here

I need something like: enter image description here

HTML:

<div class="error-label-arrow"></div>
<div class="error-label">This field is required.</div>

CSS

div.error-label{
    padding: 7px 10px 0 4px;
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #DA362A;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px; 
    -moz-border-radius: 5px; 
    border-radius: 5px;
}

div.error-label-arrow{
    border-top: 10px solid transparent;
    border-bottom: 10px solid transparent; 
    border-right:10px solid #DA362A;
    float: left;
}

Is it possible?

You can use the CSS Pseudo classes for this, so you don't need the "arrow" element:

div.error-label{
    padding:10px;
    color: #fff;
    background-color: #DA362A;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px; 
    -moz-border-radius: 5px; 
    border-radius: 5px;
    width:190px;
    margin:30px;
}

div.error-label:before {
    content: ' ';
    height: 0;
    position: absolute;
    width: 0;
    left:10px;
    border: 10px solid transparent;
    border-right-color: #DA362A;
}
