How we can change blending mode using HTML CSS & JS? Solution: CSS Blend Mode With HTML & JavaScript, Blending Image With Background Gradient.
Maybe you know about blending modes, like multiply, screen, overlay, color dodge, etc. These effects or modes you can see on graphic design software. CSS has this feature also, CSS has two types of blending modes mix-blend-mode & background-blend-mode. Mix blend mode is for define blending between two elements, & background blend mode defines the blending of background image & background color or gradient.
Today you will learn how we can apply and switch blend modes between the background image and background gradient. These all are CSS blending modes, but we will change modes with JavaScript. Because JavaScript can change HTML & CSS values so technically these are CSS properties.
So, Today I am sharing CSS Blend Mode With HTML and JavaScript, Blending Background Image with Gradient. CSS has 16 types of blend modes including the normal mode. This program is for changing the blending mode of the image with 16 different modes. In there JavaScript changing the CSS values for mode switch.
If you are thinking now how these CSS Blend Modes actually is, then see the preview given here below.

CSS Blend Mode With HTML & JavaScript Source Code
Before sharing source code, let’s talk about it. For applying the blend modes I used a background image and background gradient. I have created all blending option using HTML select option tags( <select> & <option>). I gave all the values in option tag, like for overlay blend mode I put <option value="overlay">Overlay</option>.
Exactly, in the same way, I put all CSS blend modes in option tag. You can read about all blend modes from here. In CSS section, I put a background image and gradient using CSS background: url() property. I have placed all the elements like options, text, etc using CSS. Using javascript I have fetched all the elements.
When we select a blending mode then JavaScript detects it using addEventListner & changes the CSS value. For example, I put select class “blends” JavaScript fetched the value of the blend using querySelector, then its change the CSS values using style.backgroundBlendMode. That’s is the whole concept of this program, at first, I put the normal blending mode in the CSS section.
For creating this program you have to create 3 files, First for HTML, second for CSS, & third for JavaScript. Follow the steps to creating this without any error
index.html
Create an HTML file named ‘index.html‘ and put these codes given below.
