CSS Masking Two commonly used operations in computer graphics are clipping and masking. Both operations hide visual portions of an element. If you have worked with SVG or HTML Canvas before, these operations are probably not new for you. Clipping defines the region of an element that is visible. Everything around this region does not get rendered - it gets "clipped". On masking, a mask image is composited with the element, affecting the alpha channel of this element. Clipping in CSS 2.1 CSS 2.1 already specified the clip property. The clip property is limited to specific elements in SVG as well. The clip-path property The clip-path property can be applied to all HTML elements, SVG graphic elements and SVG container elements. The <clipPath> element takes any graphical element from SVG and uses them as clipping region. Basic shapes on the other hand do not require any SVG markup. inset(<top><right><bottom><left> [ round <border-radius> ]?) The CSS markup can look like the following example: Masking

10 jQuery snippets every designer should know jQuery is used on thousands upon thousands of web pages. It’s one of the most common libraries to insert into pages, and it makes DOM manipulation a snap. Of course, part of jQuery’s popularity is its simplicity. It seems we can do almost anything we like with this powerful library. For all the options open to us, there are some snippets we tend to come back to time and time again. 1) Back to top button //Create an anchor tag<a class=”top” href=”#”>Back to top</a> As you can see using the animate and scrollTop functions in jQuery we don’t need a plugin to create a simple scroll to top animation. By changing the scrollTop value we can change where we want the scrollbar to land, in my case I used a value of 0 because I want it to go to the very top of our page, but if I wanted an offset of 100px I could just type 100px in the function. So all we are really doing is animating the body of our document throughout the course of 800ms until it scrolls all the way to the top of the document.

However, in many cases, a footer can be a useful and important tool to use for site navigation and to distribute information to your viewers. The information that you do put in your footer can give users an opportunity to discover important information on your site and can be a great navigation tool and part of a really important first impression. Key Footer Information About Us Link Have a link to your About Us section, which should include basic information about you or your company.
