I'm displaying a background picture with some semi-opaque div over it, so that it appears somewhat darker than it actually is. On top if it, I have a number of smaller, draggable divs.
I'd like the image to be completely visible, or revealed under these divs. These smaller divs should be like looking through windows to the below image.
One way to do it, is to set the background of each "window div" be a version of the larger image, and adjust the position to compensate for the div location. This works okay, but is kind of slow/jerky and very clunky.
Is there a better way?
Thanks!

This is a tricky one. Basically, I scale up a div and there are images in it. It seems the browser can re-paint or re-render the images properly that are in the viewport or visible, but for other images, if I make them visible after the scale-up, they still look blurry.
Here is an example https://ezyevents.australianclubs.com.au/wp-content/plugins/EzyCashKing/test.php
so it scales up and flips if you click on any of them, and the flipped image looks blurry.
I have been doing the search and trying different ways and none of them works.
Is this possible, or it is a browser thing and I have to try a different approach?
I am making a page on my mobile app that can crop images.
What I'd like to do is have a div overlayed on top of my image. This div will have a box within it, and that box should be transparent so that you can see the part of the image you want to keep. Outside the box, I want the image to be shaded.
This image below is an example of what I want to do, except instead of the fancy border I can just have a regular border.
Is this possible with css or javascript?
(Ps I know the below is a software program, but just imagine the picture is html and that's what i'm trying to accomplish)
Your best bet is to prob use 4 divs with an rgba(0,0,0,.5) all around the region
Very interesting question but unfortunately there is no easy way of doing it using HTML/CSS. There are several proposed solutions which you can find with bit of googling like this one Make part of a image transparent but i couldnt really understand that solution.
So how i'd go on about this and probably the simplest solution would be to initially have all the image greyed out (low opacity) then when the user draws the div on top of it by giving x, y, width, height.. then in that div, display the cropped part of that same image with normal opacity using the values of x, y, width and height.. you can get the exact part of the image to be displayed in the div. For this purpose, the following thread will help you:
CSS Display an Image Resized and Cropped
Idk how useful this method will be but that's one way to do it or atleast i'd do it that way.
I have an image and I want to restrict the clickable area on this image. I want user to click only particular area. I want to obtain a darker view out side of this clickable area. How could I achieve this usin java script and/or jquery.
Kind regards
There are many ways to implement the clickable area:
using image map :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_map
Take a look at this website : http://odyniec.net/projects/imgareaselect/
or using divs and z-index.
It might be difficult, but if you use a to determine a clickable area first, you can use jquery to do something like this:
On hover over the mapped area, Show a transparent black div, the same size as the image. (This makes the image darker)
Place another div on top of that, with the same dimensions as the image. (this contains the small map-sized container for the new image)
Place another div INSIDE of the last to be the same size and position as your mapped area. (This will contain the original image - not darkened)
Place the image again INSIDE of the last div and position it so it lines up with the original image.
This should show something like what you're talking about.
If it's more complicated than this, I'm sure we will ALL need an example and all of the outcomes of these images. I don't think there's enough detail to give you a real answer.
Sorry for the title, it's a hard issue to summarise. At the moment, I have a website which looks like this:
(as you can tell, it is inspired by Metro). I have uploaded it to jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/r46bY/4/embedded/result/
The div surrounding everything (represented by a dotted border) resizes to fit the user's browser window and I want the buttons (which are simply coloured divs) to do the same but can't figure out how. At the moment, they're in place using absolute positioning and based on a particular screen size. I would like them to keep the same layout but resize along with the container div.
I've experimented with liquid values in CSS, but I can't get the positioning right.
Please help.
Use only percentages instead of pixels for your dimensions (including margins). At resize you only have to resize the surrounding div, and the content should take the right dimensions.
I my working on the site that will have image gallery. Designer idea was to make buttons that switch photos be above the photos a bit.
Like this
Example http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/1253/showq.png
Currently I've made a javascript solution to this - it gets position of photo and applies absolute positioning to the button divs. There are some drawbacks - it works unstable in Opera and IE. Also I had to make some dirty haxx to make it stay in position after zooming. I wonder if there is a better way to do this, preferably without javascript.
you mean like here ? (dutch website, see photo browser in the center column at the top)
browser zooming works fine in browsers like firefox and safari because they zoom all the content and recorrect pixel-values. To make zooming work in ie(6) you'd need to style all in em's. But browser zooming is crappy for pixel data anyways…
Absolute positioning of the buttons (left 0 and right 0) is not a problem as long as the container element is positioned relative.
If I understand you correctly, you're trying to center those arrow buttons vertically in relation to the image. This is pretty easily accomplished with just CSS (no javascript required). Here's an example.
The basic idea is that you're using a couple of divs plus some absolute/relative positioning. There's an outer div that drops the top of the whole thing to the center of the parent element and then an inner div that pulls up your content so that the content is centered and not the top of the element.
A popular technique is to split the whole image into two huge (mostly transparent) links. The left half of the photo would take you to the previous image, the right to the next.
Of course you position you images of buttons appropriately and they would move around but I assume the problem you're finding is you have to keep moving your mouse to go through lots of images as the buttons move.... Well with this idea, you only need keep your mouse near the middle, and it should remain over the photo (and therefore a direction).
Example: http://gizmodo.com/photogallery/dreamhomespshop/1008251500
Mouse-over the image and you'll see it's active the complete way across. Not quite the same as your implementation, I'm sure, but the concept applies.
