Shows some of the things glossy.js does.
    6 images with class = "glossy iradius50"

    Empty gif with class = "glossy ibgcolor00aa00 igradient00aaaa horizontal noshadow"

    3 images with class = "glossy"

Images used are copyrighted and are used for demonstration only.

Download glossy.js and include it into your webpage.

<script type="text/javascript" src="glossy.js"></script>

To make it glossy just add a class="glossy" to the image (minimum dimension: 16x16).

• Initialisation class "glossy"
• vary the radius by adding iradius followed by the desired radius in percent of half of the smaller picture dimension:
  Corner radius class "iradius25" - min=20 max=50 default=25
• vary the shadow by adding noshadow:
  Noshadow class "noshadow" - default=false
• vary the background by adding ibgcolor followed by the desired color as hex:
  Background color class "ibgcolor" - min=000000 max=ffffff default=0
• vary the background by adding igradient followed by the desired color as hex:
  Gradient color class "igradient" - min=000000 max=ffffff default=0
• vary the color gradient direction by adding horizontal:
  Horizontal gradient class "horizontal" - default=false

If you want flexibility, use "cvi_glossy_lib.js" instead of "glossy.js". You can make your images respond to user actions (e.g. changing one or more options when the image is hovered over).

Set defaults using Javascript

cvi_glossy.defaultRadius = 25; //INT 10-50 (%)
cvi_glossy.defaultColor = 0; //STR '#000000'-'#ffffff' or 0
cvi_glossy.defaultColor2 = 0; //STR '#000000'-'#ffffff' or 0
cvi_glossy.defaultGradient = 'v'; //STR 'd|h|v'-'diagonally|horizontal|vertical'
cvi_glossy.defaultShade = 50; //INT 20-66 (% opacity)
cvi_glossy.defaultShadow = 40; //INT 0-100 (% opacity)
cvi_glossy.defaultNoshadow = false; //BOOLEAN
cvi_glossy.defaultNoradius = false; //BOOLEAN

Add images using Javascript

cvi_glossy.add(image, options);
image should be an image element: document.getElementById("myimg")
options can contain one or more values: {radius: value, shadow: value, shade: value, color: value, color2: value, gradient: value, noshadow: value, noradius: value}

Example:

cvi_glossy.add(document.getElementById("myimg"), { shadow: 75, shade: 20 });

Modify images using Javascript

cvi_glossy.modify(image, options);
If the image has already an effect but a option value has changed, the effect will be changed accordingly.

Example:

cvi_glossy.modify(document.getElementById("myimg"), { radius: 24 });

Remove effect from an image using Javascript

cvi_glossy.remove(image);

• Fast and easy to implement. Just add class="glossy" to the image and your good to go.
• Don't need to spend time in an image editor creating images with effects.
• Works really well with forum avatars. Doesn't require additional server work.
• It's dead easy to change the attributes of the images.
• Free of charge use on non-commercial and private web sites.

In older browsers, the script degrades and your visitors won't notice a thing.
