Gradient fading scroll text at the top of the background

I was looking for a way to disappear the scroll above and below. I know how you use 2 png above and below, the problem is that it seems useful only when scrolling on a plain page. But I want this to happen on a page where there is a background image ..

Any ideas? if at all possible? JS, HTML5, CSS?

Here is a picture to describe the effect:

 .wrap { position: relative; background: url(http://lorempixel.com/output/fashion-qc-640-480-3.jpg); font-family: Helvetica, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; } .wrap p { color: white; } .fader { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; background: linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 30%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 70%, rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 100%); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 30%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 70%, rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 100%); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 30%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 70%, rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 100%); pointer-events: none; }

Edit: added pointer-events: none in CSS to allow normal text selection.

Here is what I tried and it seems to work:

 <html> <head> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> div.bg { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 0; width: 800px; height: 600px; background: url([your_background_image]); } div.txt { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 50px; z-index: 2; width: 700px; height: 600px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 30px; color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; } div.fader_in { position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; z-index: 4; width: 800px; height: 100px; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#000000', endColorstr='#FFFFFF'); /* for IE */ background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#000000), to(#FFFFFF)); /* for webkit browsers */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #000000, #FFFFFF); /* for firefox 3.6+ */ opacity: .5; -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)"; } div.between { position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 0px; z-index: 4; width: 800px; height: 400px; background: #FFFFFF; opacity: .5; -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)"; } div.fader_out { position: absolute; top: 500px; left: 0px; z-index: 4; width: 800px; height: 100px; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#FFFFFF', endColorstr='#000000'); /* for IE */ background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#FFFFFF), to(#000000)); /* for webkit browsers */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF, #000000); /* for firefox 3.6+ */ opacity: .5; -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)"; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="bg"> </div> <div class="txt">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

You can use a transparent image with a gray gradient that matches your bg color above and below: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/fade_scroll.html

An interesting question ... It’s annoyingly impossible to do this in a good way that does not cause usability problems, i.e. Applies an opacity mask to the actual text layer. However, you could achieve this with some kind of heavy JavaScript / Canvas, or you could use this crazy method (this will only work if you have a background image with background-attachment set to fixed ):

I do not recommend using any of these methods published so far (including mine), since they all interfere with text selection and scroll bar due to floating layers above the text. This can cause all usability problems and basically just annoy your user ... which is not the goal of most websites;)
