I've been trying to find a solution for the 3d day and I am going crazy now. I need to clip a container to a specific shape. The container has a background image with background-attachment: fixed; so it's not static (from the viewers point of view). The layer behind the shaped container is not static also, so I cannot just use some png mask to overlay my container. CSS clip-path works perfectly for all major browsers except for IE! Support for IE 10 and 11 is a must according to my client, so I am trying to find a solution for this. Is there anything I can use to replace clip-path with? Thanks in advance!
I've found this article (https://css-tricks.com/background-image-shapes/) that perfectly describes my issue, except that the image I am working with has background-attachment: fixed;

I am trying to animate lines going from left, right, top and bottom(lines should start from edges of the screen). Animation works fine in IE11 but not in Mozilla and Chrome. Other browsers I haven't tested. I used Adobe Illustrator to draw. http://codepen.io/Ljanmi/pen/WbyLWv
In Chrome and Mozilla(IE11 is fine and acts normal) if in Illustrator I set Object>Artboards>Fit To Artwork Bounds(minimizing Artboard size which I usually do when create or edit SVG) I get this result(even worse) - http://codepen.io/Ljanmi/pen/yyqVqz
I spent hours and hours trying to figure out on my own without success. I started topics on GSAP forum and CSS tricks forum(stackoverflow.com is limiting me to post only 2 links as a newcomer).
I used GSAP JS library for animating(generally very happy with GSAP) but animation behaves the same if I use CSS3 to animate. I concluded that it is not related to GSAP(viewbox size property seems to have little bit of effect here) , more likely to be related to SVG structure itself or browser compatibility or both. So I guess there must be some work around to make it work like I would like to. I most likely lack some SVG/HTML/CSS3 knowledge since I am not very experienced but trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks everybody for reading.
Add svg { overflow: visible } and it should work the same in all browsers (longer explanation below). If you want to see why the lines get clipped, add borders to the svg element.
Another way is to make sure the size of the svg matches what you want, e.g by using css.
All browsers except IE implemented hidden as the initial value for the overflow property for the <svg> element, as called for by the SVG 1.1 spec. SVG 2 has changed this for (outermost) inline svg elements, such that it requires what IE11 is currently doing. It will take some time before that gets changed in all browsers, so for now just add the overflow: visible rule and it should work correctly in all browsers.
I had some trouble with browsers still not showing the overflowed content for SVGs and found that this finally got past it:
svg:not(:root) {
overflow: visible !important;
}
I have an issue I'm struggling to overcome. I deployed my site, and noticed that the viewport logic is broken for STOCK browser on Android device. Chrome browser on the same Android device works. Also, iphone6 works, but iphone5 doesnt. I'm dynamically determing the viewport values depending on width of screen.
Here is a test version of the site:
http://spaniard.ca/workVersions/beta/index.html
I can't change the design and layout, and the site needs to be centered in the middle as it is now.
Does anyone know why on on android stock browser it would NOT work, but on chrome on same device would?
anything will help, thanks!
You would have an easier time doing the responsive layout if the hero image was an actual img tag instead of a background image. You can get the background image to not become cropped by adding the CSS:
background-size:contain;
On a side note, you need to make sure that the containing elements inside article#what-is-spaniard have percentage widths.
EDIT:
From what I have seen, this isn't an issue of browsers, just lacking the proper code
Providing solution without seeing the code is quite tough.
Still giving you a suggestion of resolving it.
Just an idea. Try changing the background size in CSS as below :-
background-size: cover;
I'm trying to stretch the background to fill the whole window with HTML/CSS.
I've seen a few solutions for this but they don't work.
Every solution i encounter won't work on all the browsers, either Chrome won't stretch it, or IE won't stretch it, and if they both do, firefox will be the problematic one.
Does anyone have a working solution, that will work on all browsers ? (don't mind some javascript)
I believe there is no way to do this without creating an img element, and setting its z-order to the bottom and then customizing the width of that. This page has details.
Edit: In the link it says to use position: fixed;. This will in only work in older versions of IE if you specify a doctype. Using absolute is a simple workaround as long as the element is a direct child of the body.
I had this problem a little while ago and I found that this website http://webdesign.about.com/od/css3/f/blfaqbgsize.htm had a very nicely written tutorial which explains it well, plus it worked for what I was looking for.
http://reisio.com/temp/stretch/
write a css for that in which the background image will be in body.like
body {
background-image: url("/images/bg.jpg");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position:center top ;
}
This will keep the total image in the body.Try this hope it will work.
My designer believes this cannot be done, however it seems possible to me. (Although I have limited CSS experience). However, he also said the background couldn't be fixed, and stackoverflow has proved his wrong in the past; so I question his knowledge.
JQuery can be used if this cannot be done in pure CSS.
The top half will be a gradient that has full flexible to skew left, right, up, down without much distortion. The bottom half is an image that is ideally made for the 1280 x 1024 resolution (as this is the most popular browser display resolution). Then depending on the requirements needed it will sketch and skew to whatever size it needs. Still allowing all of the image to be seen.
The ration between the top half and bottom half is always 50% 50% independent of browser resolution.
I would also like if both the top and bottom parts are fixed.
In a perfect world (one without IE), id like to do this with css3 gradients and multiple backgrounds in 1 DIV. However, because IE9 isnt out yet, I think the best way to approach it would be 2 divs in a DIV container and using a PNG repeating background for the top div.
It should be noted I am going to use css3pie.com to allow some CSS3 for IE6-8 (but I dont want to rely on it, unless 100% proven)
Is this possible with just CSS? How would you do it?
If not possible with just CSS, is there a way I can get JavaScript/JQuery to aid?
I am thinking a base of 1280 x 1024 isn't the best idea because it seems to have an odd radio.
Edit 1
Oh yeah, I have a WIP too:
http://meyers.ipalaces.org/extra/
It looks good in 1280 x 1024...now its just getting the whole resizing of the top DIV to be 50% so the image is 50%.
I'd still like ALL of the water to be seen, because I like the look of the rocks at the bottom. However, I am open to alternative ideas that don't accomplish what I want 100%, but come close.
Edit 2
How about using the top gradient as the true CSS2 background and then just putting a <img> at the bottom of it to resize? Perhaps that will allow for CSS2 ability. I am reference some work-around techniques here: A list apart
Edit 3
I am still looking for results that work on IE6 and also don't cause Internet explorer to lag. I am setting a bounty of 50 to help attract more attention.
I have successfully came up with 2 ways to do this:
Method 1
Click here to view demo
Using CSS3 background-size I was able to set 2 div elements to on top of each other with min-height: 50% and then using background-size: 100% 50% they successfully accomplish what I am looking for.
This method was just a proof of concept, as IE6-8 does not support background-size, I didn't pursue tweaking this method perfectly. As it stands, it currently messes up when you scroll despite have background-attachment: fixed;. I ditched this CSS3 method in order to look for better methods using CSS tricks...
Method 2
Click here to view demo
Following the examples I found from A List Apart (Article | Example1 | Example2). I used Technique #2 from Example 1, and I was able to emulate what I wanted to do using just CSS2. (I am not 100% sure how or why this works, but it does)
Because I am also going to use CSS3PIE to give IE6-8 CSS3 the ability to do linear gradients, border-radius, and box-shadow; I opted to use a linear gradient instead of an image for the top background.
Problems
CSS2 Method from Technique #2, Example 1 does not work with IE6 Correctly
Creates excessive lag in all current Internet Explorers
It can be done with CSS only. No PIEs necessary. Just an IE6 bug and some filter magic.
Demo:
http://www.bundyo.org/test/FPB.html
Do this using raphaeljs. Create a background DIV that becomes a canvas, draw a rect to 50% of the page height (if using jquery then use $(window).resize() to monitor for a window resize and $(window).height() to get the 50% into pixels).
You can fill in the raphealjs rect with specifing it's fill value to something like fill: "90-#000000-#ffffff"
As for the image:
Place the image using raphealjs' image OR just embed it using HTML and update it's height-scale using jquery as mentioned above.
I've done something like this just recently using about 10 lines of code.
Also: Change your water.png, it's about 275kb, where as the next largest file on your page (the css) is like 1.5kb.
If you want to keep the horizon of the water at 50% on your screen, I would suggest a simpler method;
Create an image (probably about 1280 wide) in Photoshop of water on bottom and gradient on top. Fade the top gradient into a solid light blue(#68b for example). Fade the left, right and bottom of the image into the same solid color(#68b).
Set the background of your page as follows;
html {
background: #68b url(waterimage.png) center center no-repeat;
}
In your case, you'll probably want to apply the background to #wdth-100 instead of html, but it all depends on which element you want to put your background on.
All done. Let me know if that works for you.
I don't have a link to your top image, so i used the same image for top and bottom.
You should probably use a CSS solution for normal browsers and the JS for IE.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function() {
wh=$(window).height();
ww=$(window).width();
if(wh%2) {
h1=Math.round(wh/2);
h2=Math.round(wh/2)-1;
} else {
h1=h2=wh/2;
}
img1=$("<IMG/>",{'src':'http://meyers.ipalaces.org/images/bottom-bg.jpg','id':'img1'} )
.css({'width':ww,'height':h1,'top':'0','left':'0','position':'absolute','z-index':'-100'});
img2=$("<IMG/>",{'src':'http://meyers.ipalaces.org/images/bottom-bg.jpg','id':'img2'} )
.css({'width':ww,'height':h2,'top':h1,'left':'0','position':'absolute','z-index':'-100'});
$(document.body).append(img1);
$(document.body).append(img2);
});
$(window).resize(function() {
wh=$(window).height();
ww=$(window).width();
if(wh%2) {
h1=Math.round(wh/2);
h2=Math.round(wh/2)-1;
} else {
h1=h2=wh/2;
}
$('#img1').css({'width':ww,'height':h1,'top':'0','left':'0'});
$('#img2').css({'width':ww,'height':h2,'top':h1,'left':'0'});
});
</script>
The pragmatic answer would seem to be to do it using multiple divs with their own background, all of which would be positioned absolutely and behind everything else using z-index.
I know that's not the clean markup solution with a single div with some magic CSS, but this is a tricky problem in pure CSS in any browser, and almost certainly impossible if you need to support IE6.
An even more pragmatic answer would be to say "I'll support IE6 as far as I can, but if it can't support my lovely background effect then that's just tough luck for anyone still using it".
I need to create a silhouette of a PNG with Javascript/CSS. Is this possible?
I tried the following:
Stack the PNG with lowered opacity multiple times with absolute positioning and z-index.
This does not work.
Unfortunately I can't use PHP or something else then Javascript and CSS.
I got some ideas with overlays and such but I can't figure out how to do it. Any tips?
update: This only needs to work in webkit browsers, so you can bring your webkit trickbox! :)
It's not possible in plain HTML/CSS.
It would be possible in embedded SVG using a filter such as feColorMatrix to set all channels to one colour except the opacity.
It would be possible in a <canvas> using a composite operation, such as first drawing the image, then drawing a single colour over the top with source-out mode.
It might be possible in IE using a MaskFilter, using the MaskFilter to generate a masking colour (eg. white) laid over a fixed colour (eg. black). However I think you'll lose any variable-opacity smooth edges.
It's going to be a lot of browser-sniffing and annoyance. I'd try to avoid it.
Considering you've tagged this with webkit, you should have a look at the Surfin' Safari blog post about CSS masks.
E.g. Is this what you want?
<!doctype html>
<style>
div {
width: 215px;
height: 174px;
background: black;
-webkit-mask-image: url("http://webkit.org/images/icon-gold.png");
}
</style>
<div></div>
