How to use CSS3 box-reflect to create a reflection effect

In the past, to achieve this effect, we could only find a designer to make it, and then insert a picture on the page. However, with the emergence of CSS3, we can achieve it in pure code. How to achieve it? That is through the box-reflect property of CSS3. The following article will share with you how to use CSS3 to create a reflection effect. Friends in need can refer to it.

Compatibility

Since it is a property of CSS3, of course we have to take a look at the compatibility: Click to view

Next, let’s learn how to use box-reflect?

The syntax is as follows:

  -webkit-box-reflect：none | <direction> <offset>? <mask-box-image>?
  box-reflect:none | <direction> <offset>? <mask-box-image>?

Attributes Description:

none: This value is the default value, indicating no reflection;

direction: The direction in which reflection is generated

above: Specify the reflection to be above the object below: Specify the reflection to be below the object left: Specify the reflection to be on the left side of the object right: Specify the reflection to be on the right side of the object

offset: The interval between the picture and the reflection

length: Use the length value to define the distance between the reflection and the object. Can be a negative value percentage: Use percentage to define the interval between the reflection and the object. Can be a negative value

mask-box-image: used to set the mask effect of reflection;

The value can be:

none: No mask image url: Specify the mask image using an absolute or relative address. linear-gradient: Create a mask image using a linear gradient. radial-gradient: Create a mask image using a radial (radial) gradient. repeating-linear-gradient: Use a repeating linear gradient to create a backmask image. repeating-radial-gradient: Creates a mask image using a repeating radial (radial) gradient.

Just talking on paper is not enough, we still have to see the effect through examples.

The direction of the reflection

In this example, I made three img:

<p class="box1">   
  <img src="http://7s1r1c.com1.z0.glb.clouddn.com/t_sdfsdfs123.jpg" alt="" />   
</p>   
<p class="box2">   
  <img src="http://7s1r1c.com1.z0.glb.clouddn.com/t_sdfsdfs123.jpg" alt="" />   
</p>   
<p class="box3">   
  <img src="http://7s1r1c.com1.z0.glb.clouddn.com/t_sdfsdfs123.jpg" alt="" />   
</p>

css is as follows:

.box1,.box2,.box3{   
  width:120px;   
  float:left;   
  margin-right:180px;   
}   
img{   
  width:100%;   
}   
.box1 img{   
  -webkit-box-reflect:right;   
  box-reflect:right;   
}   
.box2 img,.box3 img{   
  -webkit-box-reflect: above;   
  box-reflect:above;   
}   
.box3{   
  padding-top:200px;   
}

The rendering is as follows:

I have a question here. The pictures in box2 and box3 are both set with box-reflect:above, which generates projection at the top. Why can’t box2 see the effect? The reason is that I set padding-top:200px for box3, but not for box2. It is initially estimated that it is because there is no space for it to display the generated reflection.

The distance between the reflection and the object

After understanding the direction of generating the reflection, let’s look at the second attribute, Let’s look at the example:

Still use three pictures, but change the style:

.box1 img{   
  -webkit-box-reflect:below 30px;   
  box-reflect:below 30px;   
}   
.box2 img{   
  -webkit-box-reflect:below -30px;   
  box-reflect:below -30px;   
}   
.box3 img{   
  -webkit-box-reflect:below 5%;   
  box-reflect:below 5%;   
}

The effect is as follows:

Next we learn the last attribute.

Mask effect

(1) Use gradient to add a mask effect to the reflection

  .box1 img{   
  -webkit-box-reflect:below 0 -webkit-linear-gradient(top,rgba(250,250,250,0),rgba(250,250,250,.0) 30%,rgba(250,250,250,.3));   
  box-reflect:below 0 linear-gradient(top,rgba(250,250,250,0),rgba(250,250,250,.0) 30%,rgba(250,250,250,.3));   
}

The effect is as follows:

Use the background image to add a mask effect to the reflection

First we need a A png picture of a five-pointed star:

##

.box2 img{   
  -webkit-box-reflect:below 0 url(http://7s1r1c.com1.z0.glb.clouddn.com/t_star.png);   
  box-reflect:below 0 url(http://7s1r1c.com1.z0.glb.clouddn.com/t_star.png);   
}

The effect is as follows:
