show a non-rectangular part of an image in html

Asked by lfrohman in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Scripting Languages, WebApplications

Tags: html, javascript, css

This may not be possible, but I thought I would ask. My web application displays the side views
of customizable buildings. The user can select among several wall images (wood, brick, ...)
then they can place doors and windows on the walls. There are several door and window
images. The doors and windows also can have transparent sections that may be
non-rectangular. What should then show through the transparent part is the interior of
the building (another set of selectable images), not the wall. The doors and windows are
only allowed on specific positions on the wall.  What we don't want to have to do is create
a version of every wall image that has every possible combination of door/window
transparent sections in every allowable position. If there was some way to place a
non-rectangular mask of transparency, or something like that, that would solve the
problem. Or maybe there is another way. Any ideas?

Thanks
