Derleek Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 is there a way to reflect an image over the x or y axis? I am designing a fancy border for a section of text, do i need to create 4 different images for each corner? or is there some technique I'm not familiar with available?

dropfaith Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 you would need 4 images im pretty sure to make corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 There is no way to do this using CSS, so youneed 4 images. But you can actually use 1 image with all four corners in it, and just show the corner you want. Google 'css sprites' to see how this technique works. Alistapart explains it well (ignore 'css sprites 2' for now, it's the next step after that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derleek Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 i will have to check into that. very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFilmGod Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yes, using css sprites is beneficial. But I would like to remind you that you can't position the background image and 'crop it out of the master css sprite' at the same time. - Maybe you can, but so far, I never could figure it out.

sam_h Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 with regard to your image reflection, maybe have a look here: http://www.blogohblog.com/top-10-javascripts-for-image-manipulation/ it is an option I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroNiX Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Im a big fan of the mootools javascript framework. It would be overkill to only use it for image reflection ... but http://www.digitalia.be/software/reflectionjs-for-mootools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derleek Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 I actually am an aspiring 'mootooler' my self. Little hard to learn due to the lack of a solid, coherent, patient community... but i really like it all the same. check out my signature for a forum I found... name is derleek on there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_h Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 mootools I like a lot, but never ended up needing to use it in my site....script.aculo.us on the other hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
