CSS property box-reflect compatibility?

Question

Is there similar property to -webkit-box-reflect for the mozilla and other browsers? I could not find on google which other browsers have support for this. So if someone can tell me or give me link, that would be really nice.

Answer 1

This is possible with not only webkit (latest chrome or safari) but also in latest firefox.

Here is the example: http://codepen.io/jonathan/pen/pgioE

HTML:

<div id="someid">
   <img src="image url" />
<div/>

CSS (webkit):

#someid {
        /* need some space for the reflection */
        margin-bottom: 120px;
        /* the gradient makes the reflection fade out */
        -webkit-box-reflect: below 0px -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(255,255,255,0.3) 0%, transparent 40%, transparent 100%);
}

CSS (Firefox - Gecko):

#someid {
        position: relative;
        /* need some space for the reflection */
        margin-bottom: 120px;
}

#someid:before {
        content:""; /* needed or nothing will be shown */
        background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, white, white 30%, rgba(255,255,255,0.9) 65%, rgba(255,255,255,0.7)) 0px 0px, -moz-element(#someid) 0px -127px no-repeat;
        -moz-transform: scaleY(-1); /* flip the image vertically */
        position:relative;
        height:140px;
        width: 360px; /* should be > image width + margin + shadow */
        top: 247px;
        left:0px;
 }

Firefox uses -moz-element to do the reflections (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/element), whereas webkit uses a proprietary vendor prefix for reflections.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The -webkit-box-reflect property is only supported by webkit browsers, namely Chrome and Safari. As it is a proprietary webkit property, there is no equivalent for other browsers.

The alternative would be to use javascript to create a mirror element with faded opacity.
