I wonder if anyone could assist me with this?
I am writing a webpage with a drawing area ("GraphicsArea", below) that loads a map as a SVG image into the innerHTML of the "DiagramArea" div contained in it. The SVG has defined areas which have events attached to them and css styling that allows me to highlight areas as I mouseover them, and fill them with a highlight colour when I click on them. This all works fine.
I have, superimposed over the "DiagramArea", a HTML5 canvas element ("CanvasArea"). I have some javascript that allows me to draw inside this freehand with the mouse. The canvas is transparent, and I can see the map underneath it when I draw.
I can toggle between the drawing canvas layer and the "DiagramArea" with the SVG which I am using as an imagemap, by setting zIndex. I have a button that does this, allowing me to swap between functionality to highlight areas of the map, and the freehand drawing functionality.
My problem is that if I toggle away from the canvas, its drawing is hidden while I use the image map functionality. I can toggle it back again to display the drawing overlay after I have highlighted the areas I want to highlight, but it's a bit clumsy
Is there a way to keep the canvas contents visible while I'm using the rollover and click events attached to the SVG? I'm not particularly fussy as to whether it's a style or code solution. I'd prefer to avoid having to use an external library, if possible.
<div id="GraphicsArea">
<canvas id='CanvasArea'></canvas>
<div id="DiagramArea"></div>
</div>
Many thanks.
I've been trying to add a shadow to an svg path when it is hovered. Here is a fiddle showing my attempt: https://jsfiddle.net/do6fk291/
I've tried adding filter: url(#blur-filter) on hover which sort of works, but doesn't look completely right. I want the effect to appear as though the segment is lifting up off the page with a shadow behind it.
I've also looked at adding a stroke to it to add the darker color for the blur affect, but again the edges that touch the path don't look right.
Is there a way to blur just a stroke? Or another way of adding a shadow to this on hover?
I have an imagemap with several mapped areas.
I want on mouseover to overlay my imagemap (essentially my backgroundimage) with previously loaden images. The overlaying images have exactly the size of my backgroundimage and need to fadeIn when the mouse enters the mapped areas, and fadeOut when the mouse leaves.
I want to accomplish this with pure jQuery, no CSS (with overlaying the images previously, display:none and than fading one into each other, etc. - I am aware that there are such solutions, as proposed here e.g. JQuery mouseover image overlay).
There should be a way to paste an image over an existing one, without hiding it in a div tag or something, shouldnt there?
If code is needed, I can provide. But I rather want a hint and figure it out myself - thus I learn more :)

I have a matrix of icons that can be navigated horizontally in a carousel, and vertically as categories (which are rows of icons) that are detached/appended as the app cycles through the categories with up/down arrows.
I want to make the lowest row of icons fade in opacity (I have a black background) from the native colors of the icons into blackness as you go from top to bottom, to indicate that there are subsequent rows beneath. The only way I have been able to determine how to do this is using background: -webkit-gradient, as indicated here:
CSS3 Transparency + Gradient
I apply this to a DIV which I overlay above my lowest row. Unfortunately, I lose clickability of the items behind the overlaid div. I have to use the overlay, however, because the property is a background property.
Is there any other way I can implement a gradient opacity on a row of clickable icons that fades to black without sacrificing the clickability? I don't want an overlay that only covers the lower 25%/whatever either... I need an all-or-nothing solution to this. So far it's looking like "nothing" is my only option.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hmmm... two solutions come to mind.
First, you could use the overlay, and track mouse events on that element. Then, with some math, you could probably figure out what the underlying element is use jQuery to trigger the click of that element (ie. $("#icon14").click(); ).
The second option would be to draw out a companion transparent div with each icon you make in your matrix. Place it in exactly the same spot as the icon itself, but give it a css z-index that brings it above the overlay. This transparent div can now handle all the mouse events for you, and still live above the overlay.
If you go down this road, I'd look into using the .data() function that lets you quickly tack on variables to any jQuery object. You can set this companion div to be a property of the normal icons in the matrix, with something like $("#icon14").data('clickDiv', $("#icon14_click")); (though you'd probably want to assign these in a loop or something =)
Good luck!
Google has the coolest effects - once it was a Pac-man game, today is apparently the 160th anniversary of the first World Fair, and Google's logo has an image of it. They also turn the mouse into a magnifying glass that can sweep over the picture (the gold ring).
I'm wondering how they do that. It's obviously Javascript, and I looked at the page source, but it's not especially readable (no surprise).
Looking at their source code, it seems they are using rather basic techniques to achieve this.
Ignoring all the embedded nifty animated gif's, there are basically two images - large, and small of the entire scene. The larger image is repeated thrice in the document. Look at the annotated image below to get a better idea of how the zoom works.
The portion inside the magnifying circle is split up in three div's - top, mid, and bottom. The overflow for each div should be hidden. Each div is relatively positioned inside the zoom circle. On mouse move, change the absolute position of the zoom circle to the mouse coordinates. Their example also uses CSS3 for the scaling and adding some animation delays.
Here's a sorta minimal reconstructed example.
Another example where we don't hide the div overflow to reveal the entire thing as a square.
Well, firstly, for anyone who wants to use such an effect, there are loads of jQuery plugins. Here are just a few:
Power Zoomer
Featured Image
Zoomer
Cloud Zoom
Secondly, it's quite easy to achieve. Just load the full-size image, but give it a width smaller than it's actual width, so it is scaled by CSS. Then, use JavaScript+CSS to create a Div (the magnifying glass) with the same image as background, but change the background-position property to the corresponding scaled x,y coordinate that the user's mouse is currently on.
There are other ways of doing it I suppose, and Google might be doing it differently, but this is the most obvious way for me that comes to mind.
Visit http://codeblab.com/glass/ for an real life example and in depth explanation of this technique. Flash and CSS v3 have ample functionality to construct a round magnifying glass.
However, simulate-a-circle-with-overlapping-rectangles works on (many) more platforms.
(DISCLOSURE: codeblab.com is my personal hobby blog with some weak links to my work in The Netherlands.)
There is a full example of magnifying any sort of HTML, including HTML5 at http://www.aplweb.co.uk/blog/js/magnifying-glass/. Works cross-browser too - although rounded corners are a bit iffy on most browsers - so you are going to have to use a box rather than circle.
Here is how to works:
Duplicate the content you want to zoom
Place the duplicated content into another element and set the visible width/height and overflow hidden
Use JavaScript to move the duplicated content so that it moves by the zoom amount * mouse movement. Also move the visible div by the mouse movement.
That is pretty much it too it. There are lots of little things to look out for though to make it work on all browsers.
I don't know how Google does it, since the logo is no longer showing in my area; but this effect can be achieved by clipping the enlarged animated GIF over the regular image using canvas. Alternatively, it is also possible to create create a circular clipping using CSS border-radius (commonly used to implement rounded corners).
EDIT: I've hacked this up together to show the basic technique that you need if you used CSS border-radius: http://jsfiddle.net/yjBuS/
Looks like they're using two images, one for the logo and one for the zoom (the zoomed one is actually sliced, to run the animations separately...?) They probably detect if the mouse is over the normal logo, then show the yellow circle and attach it to the mouse position. Then showing the other image, shifting it opposite of the mouse. Or something similar.
