Web Developer's Reference Guide

By: Joshua Johanan, Talha Khan, Ricardo Zea

Overview of this book

This comprehensive reference guide takes you through each topic in web development and highlights the most popular and important elements of each area. Starting with HTML, you will learn key elements and attributes and how they relate to each other. Next, you will explore CSS pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, followed by CSS properties and functions. This will introduce you to many powerful and new selectors. You will then move on to JavaScript. This section will not just introduce functions, but will provide you with an entire reference for the language and paradigms. You will discover more about three of the most popular frameworks today—Bootstrap, which builds on CSS, jQuery which builds on JavaScript, and AngularJS, which also builds on JavaScript. Finally, you will take a walk-through Node.js, which is a server-side framework that allows you to write programs in JavaScript.

Filter


CSS filters allow us to manipulate the color of an element in different ways.

brightness()

The brightness() CSS function is used with the filter property, and it looks like this:

filter: brightness(20%);

Description

The brightness() function modifies the illumination of an image. Values are declared as either a percentage or a number without a unit, for example, 10% and 0.5%

A value of 100% leaves the element unchanged; a value of 0% makes the element completely black. Values over 100% are allowed and create a more intense effect. There is no limit to the value.

A value of 1 leaves the element unchanged; a value of 0 makes the element completely black. Values over 1 are allowed and create a more intense effect. There is no limit to the value. Also, negative values are not valid for either the percentage of the number.

CSS:

.element {
  filter: brightness(20%);
}

contrast()

The contrast() CSS function is used with the filter property, and it looks like this:

filter: contrast(10);
