How to flip images horizontally with HTML5

Question

In IE, I can use:

<img src="http://example.com/image.png" style="filter:FlipH"> 

to implement an image flip horizontally.

Is there any way to flip horizontally in HTML5? (maybe by using canvas?)

thanks all :)

Answer 1

canvas = document.createElement('canvas'); canvasContext = canvas.getContext('2d');  canvasContext.translate(width, 0); canvasContext.scale(-1, 1); canvasContext.drawImage(image, 0, 0); 

Here's a snippet from a sprite object being used for testing and it produces the results you seem to expect.

Answer 2

You don't need HTML5, it can be done with CSS same as in IE:

-moz-transform: scale(-1, 1); -webkit-transform: scale(-1, 1); -o-transform: scale(-1, 1); transform: scale(-1, 1); filter: FlipH;
