Quick Fix: To achieve a cut-out background style for a div, set the container’s background color to transparent, enable overflow hidden, and provide the button with a large, solid white border keeping it transparent.
The Problem:
Given a web page with a container div having a background color and a button div inside it. The requirement is to make the button div have the background color of the container div, but in a way that it appears as a hole into the container div, rather than a re-created gradient. The provided code snippet showcases the current setup, but when modifying the button div’s background image to match that of the container div, it creates a new gradient, which is not the intended effect. The goal is to achieve a seamless appearance where the button div appears to be a part of the background, not a separate element with a gradient background.
The Solutions:
Solution 1: CSS Border
In this solution, the CSS property ‘overflow: hidden’ is applied to the ‘container’ div, which prevents the white border of the ‘button’ div from spilling outside of the container. As a result, the button appears to have a cut-out background style, as it seems like a hole in the container div.
