Hover to reveal Mask

A fixed background image that is revealed by mouse hover all over the section

I recreated this codepen by @suez in Webflow.

Create the following hierarchy:

  1. Full page div/section
  2. Add a div with the size and shape of your mask revealer and a background image of your choice and position:absolute. Place it inside the full page section.
  3. Paste this code to your page custom code section, before </body> tag:

<script>
 document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (ev) => {
   const circle = document.querySelector('.hover-div');
   const circleHalf = circle.offsetWidth / 2;

   addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => {
     console.log(e.pageX, e.pageY);
     circle.style.left = e.pageX - circleHalf + "px";
     circle.style.top = e.pageY - circleHalf + "px";
   });
 });
</script>

Copy
  1. Replace the ".hover-div" with your mask (circle) div classname (replace only the hover-div, keep the ' ' and the .
  2. Publish :)
