Reflection.js in Firefox 2.0.0.10

November 27th, 2007

The latest security update to Firefox, version 2.0.0.10 breaks Reflection.js as well as pretty much every other similar script which uses <canvas> to manipulate images.

Have a look at the Mozillazine Thread and Bug #405584.

I’m surprised that Firefox QA missed this one. It looks like version 2.0.0.11 will be released to fix this bug.

Thanks to everyone who told me about this and/or submitted a bug to Mozilla.

    Hi,

    I have successfully implemented this in both ie & Firefox. THanks for the great script. But I have a doubt for you. When the image is unable to load am displaying alt text then also reflection is coming. When the image doesn’t load I want to disable the reflection is there any way to do so.

    I have given

    <img id=’cardImage’ src="hi.jpg" class=’reflect rheight50 ropacity60′ title=’hiimage’ alt=’hiimage’ />

    IE is copying the :hover and cursor CSS tags in the reflection. How do I prevent / fix this? 

     Example:   http://www.ricardobarros.com/NEW/

     

    Thanks, the script rocks otherwise :)

    I cannot get this to work with my pages.  i uploaded the entire unzipped folder that I downloaded and they all work except for my own applications in my own pages. Also: prototype.js was not included in the .zip.  If you can help then let me know!

     

    thx, you will be put on the sponsors/sources page on my upcoming new website.

    Hi,

    This script doesn’t require prototype.js; it doesn’t work because Firefox 2.0.0.10 broke Canvas!
