# Animation
You specify animation inside the @keyframes
rule. the animation will gradually change from the current style to the new style at certain times.
you must bind the animation to an element. (with animation-name, animation-duration,...
) If the animation-duration property is not specified, no animation will occur (default value is 0s).
/* The animation code */
@keyframes example {
from {background-color: red;}
to {background-color: yellow;}
}
/* The element to apply the animation to */
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
}
By using percent, you can add as many style changes as you like:
/* The animation code */
@keyframes example {
0% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
25% {background-color:yellow; left:200px; top:0px;}
50% {background-color:blue; left:200px; top:200px;}
75% {background-color:green; left:0px; top:200px;}
100% {background-color:red; left:0px; top:0px;}
}
/* The element to apply the animation to */
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
background-color: red;
animation-name: example;
animation-duration: 4s;
}
Animation | |
---|---|
@keyframes (opens new window) | Define the Animation |
animation-name: (opens new window) | Apply the animation to the element |
animation-duration: (opens new window) | defines how long time an animation should take to complete. If the animation-duration property is not specified, no animation will occur (default value is 0s) |
animation-delay: (opens new window) | Specifies a delay for the start of an animation. If using negative values, the animation will start as if it had already been playing for N seconds. |
animation-iteration-count: (opens new window) | Specifies the number of times an animation should run. Use "infinite" to make the animation continue forever. |
animation-direction: (opens new window) | specifies whether an animation should be played forwards, backwards or in alternate cycles. |
animation-timing-function: (opens new window) | specifies the speed curve of the animation |
animation-fill-mode: (opens new window) | specifies a style for the target element when the animation is not playing (before it starts, after it ends, or both). |
animation-play-state: (opens new window) | Lets you pause and resume the animation sequence. |
animation: (opens new window) | Shorthand for: animation-name, animation-duration, animation-timing-function, animation-delay, animation-iteration-count, animation-direction, animation-fill-mode, animation-play-state. animation: example 5s linear 2s infinite alternate; |
