Take a look at this related image:
The goal is to replicate the design shown on the right side of the image. However, there's also a parent container with its own background image, as opposed to a solid color.
Any guidance on how to achieve this?
UPDATE: I should mention that compatibility across different browsers, especially Firefox, is crucial.
There's a challenging CSS solution that comes to mind, but it's quite complex.
Imagine your image is 100px wide. You would need to create a div that is also 100px wide and populate it with 100 children, each 1px wide. Each child would have the same background positioned accordingly, and their opacity would range from 0 (the first child) to .99 (the last child).
Personally, I find this method to be quite impractical and wouldn't recommend using it.
Rory O'Kane proposed a cleaner solution, and I have another idea that involves utilizing JavaScript.
The concept revolves around using a canvas element (check browser support here), drawing your image onto it, looping through its pixels, and adjusting the alpha value for each pixel.

Here's the relevant HTML:
<div class='parent'>
<canvas id='c' width='575' height='431'></canvas>
</div>
And relevant CSS (setting the background image on the parent):
.parent {
background: url(parent-background.jpg);
}
Now, here's the JavaScript snippet:
window.onload = function() {
var c = document.getElementById('c'),
ctxt = c.getContext('2d'),
img = new Image();
img.onload = function() {
ctxt.drawImage(img, 0, 0);
var imageData = ctxt.getImageData(0, 0, 575, 431);
for(var i = 0, n = imageData.data.length; i < n; i += 4) {
imageData.data[i + 3] = 255*((i/4)%575)/575;
}
ctxt.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
};
/* Images drawn onto the canvas must be hosted on the same web server
with the same domain as the executing code */
/* Alternatively, they can be encoded similarly to the demo */
img.src = 'image-drawn-on-canvas.jpg';
};
One way to achieve a transparent gradient on an image without relying solely on CSS is by converting it to a PNG format with the gradient included in its alpha channel. Most browsers fully support PNG transparency, except for outdated versions of Internet Explorer (IE 6 and below). To see the effect, you can compare how your sample image would appear with a transparent gradient as a PNG against different backgrounds.
If the images are submitted by users and you are unable to pre-add the gradient, you could consider generating and saving a version of each image with the gradient at the time of upload.
