Question

Is there a way for me to slice a semicircular shape out of the parent div in order to expose

Does anyone have a solution for removing a half circle div from its parent (footer) to reveal the background underneath?

I've searched for canvas and jQuery solutions but haven't found anything that works.

I am aiming to achieve something similar to this:

Here is what I have attempted so far:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/css/bootstrap.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/sticky.css"/>
    <script>
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
      <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
      <div class="navbar-inner">
        <div class="container">

        </div>
      </div>
    </div>  
    <div class="container">
      <div class="content">
        <div class="wrapper">
          </div>
          <div class="push"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="footer-wrapper">
          <footer>
            <center><div class="halfCircleBottom"></div></center>
          </footer>
        </div>
  </body>
</html>

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function clip(){
    var can = document.getElementById('canvas1');
var ctx = can.getContext('2d');



// Now draw the window over our cirlce
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.fillStyle = 'lightblue';
// First we draw a path counter-clockwise
ctx.moveTo(0,0);
ctx.lineTo(0,840);
ctx.lineTo(840,840);
ctx.lineTo(840,0);

// Then we call rect four times, which adds a rect to our path going clockwise
ctx.arc(288, 0, 70, 0, Math.PI, false);

// Notice that this entire time we are making the window we never make a new path (just at the start),
// all of our commands have only added to the current path.
// This will mean that the 4 clockwise rects will be "cut out" of the counter-clockwise path.
// Making a window

ctx.fill();
    }
    </script>
<head>
<body onload="clip()" style="background-color:red">
      <canvas id="canvas1" width="500" height="500"></canvas>
</body>
</html>

Feel free to copy and paste the above code to see the arc in action. Adapt it to your own application. The background color of the body is red. :) Do some research before giving up :)
