I would like to be able to loop a colour transition for the background colour of my website, so it slowly shifts between two subtly different hues as the users browse, to give variation to their browsing experience. I'm wanting something like the following:
.background {
background-color: #00A0D6;
transition: background-color: 100s;
}
But with background-color cycling back to #00A0D6, then beginning the transition back to #00B1D7 as soon as it has reached #00A0D6. I would also like this to happen automatically, from the moment a user browses to the site.
If possible I would like to do this in vanilla CSS. If not, is there a way to use a Javascript loop to cycle the value in this way? Possibly with the jQuery library? I would like the most processor-efficient method possible which still retains a smooth transition, since this is for an online RPG, which will be doing a lot of other transitions and databasing at the same time.
You can use CSS #keyframes to achieve what you want:
#keyframes changeColor {
from {
background-color: #00A0D6;
}
to {
background-color: #00B1D7;
}
}
Then you use it with the animation property in the desired elements:
html, body {
animation: changeColor 100s infinite alternate;
}

I'm trying to do something like this:
element.classList.add('animate-in')
element.style.transform = 'translateY(100px)';
Where the animate-in class has a transition: transform 1s property for animation. But when I run this it the element is translated 100px down but without the transition, seems like the transform property is modified before the class name can be added and take affect. I don't want to use setTimeout since it can be unreliable in animations. Is there any way to wait for the class to be added before modifying any styles?
I don't think we get any events for the 'application of styles' through JavaScript, which is pretty frustrating in this case...
I found this thread that's pretty helpful.
One thing to note: the animation will work even if you use setTimeout with 0 ms. What was the reason in particular that it messed with animations?
setTimeout(function(){
element.style.transform = 'translateY(100px)'
}, 0)
Also, if you set it up with an event, you can change the style directly and see the animation applied.
Here's the bin I was playing around with: https://jsbin.com/lofotutumu/edit?html,css,js,output
You don't really want to wait, but want the properties embedded with this new class to be applied.
And this can be done, synchronously, by triggering a reflow.
Some properties/functions need the DOM boxes to be recalculated in order to return their values. To do so, the browser has to trigger a reflow on the page, and hence will apply your new properties.
But note that this has a performance impact, particularly on complex pages, so use it with care.
element.classList.add('animate-in');
element.offsetTop; // trigger a reflow
element.style.transform = 'translateY(100px)';
.animate-in {
transition: transform 2s linear;
}
<div id="element">Hello</div>
Would creating a keyframe and adding that into your class suit your needs? E.g.
// This is your keyframe to animate your element
#keyframes translateDown {
0%{
transform:translateY(0);
}
100%{
transform:translateY(100px);
}
}
.animate-in{
animation: 2s linear translateDown both;
}
So I used this code from Justin Aguilar's CSS3 Animation Cheat Sheet to activate an animation on a button when I hover over it:
<div id="object" class="pulse">
<script>
$('#animatedElement').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass("pulse");
});
</script>
The problem is that the animation just continues even when I am no longer hovering over the button. What can I do to make a button animate every time a user hovers over it, but stop when they move the mouse away? Whenever I tried to tweak it with anything involving .stop, it just keeps the animation from playing at all.
I am new to coding and this has been a huge pain today, so any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
You don't need JavaScript for that at all.
Use CSS selectors. #animatedElement:hover in your case.
Here you go with one more solution
$('#animatedElement').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass("pulse");
}).mouseleave(function(){
$(this).removeClass("pulse");
});
.pulse {
background: #000;
color: #fff;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="animatedElement">Hover Me!!!</div>
Hope this will help you.
the hover() method accepts two callbacks: one for when the mouse enters the html element, and one for when it leaves. Therefore, you could simply add another callback to your function to remove the "pulse" class.
$('#animatedElement').hover(function() {
$(this).addClass("pulse");
},
function(){
$(this).removeClass("pulse");
});
Alternatively, you could just go with Alex's excellent answer.
You can use CSS to make an animation, for example, in this code:
.pulse {
background: GREEN;
border-radius: 6px
transition-property: background, border-radius;
transition-duration: 1s;
transition-timing-function: linear;
}
.pulse:hover {
background: BLACK;
border-radius: 50%;
}
You have set in css the start properties for the element, and transition declaration, in this example i'm going to do a transition in the background and the radius properties when hover on a element with pulse class.
As jQuery.fadeIn is not very smooth on mobile devices I try to use CSS but it doesn't work as expected. How to create a smooth CSS animation using Javascript?
In general this is what I'm trying:
$('div')
.css('opacity', 0) // at first, set it transparent
.css('display', 'block') // make it appear
.css('transition', 'opacity 1000ms linear') // set a transition
.css('opacity', 1); // let it fade in
https://jsfiddle.net/8xa89y04/
EDIT1:
I'm not searching a solution using static CSS classes. The point is: I need to set this dynamically in Javascript code - a replacement for jQuerys fadeIn() for example.
Your logic isn't quite right. Firstly you cannot animate display, so to achieve what you require the element has to always be rendered in the DOM (ie. anything but display: none). Secondly, the transition property should be placed within the CSS styling itself. Finally you can make this much more simple by setting all the rules in CSS classes and just turning the class on/off. Try this:
div {
position: absolute;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: black;
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 1000ms linear;
}
.foo {
opacity: 1;
}
$('div').addClass('foo');
Working example
Use this code.
CSS
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: black;
transition:opacity 2s;
}
JavaScript
$('div').hover(function(){
$(this).css('opacity','0');
})
Without using CSS properly, you are going the long way about it. You'll need to emulate what you would normally do in CSS, using JavaScript, so you'll be setting all your CSS properties, transitions etc, then applying them with js.
I can't personally see any benefit in doing this. Using actual CSS would be cleaner, more efficient, more maintainable, and simply a plain better solution to what you need.
I think this is what you are looking for.
$('div').css({"display":"block", "opacity":"0"}) //Make div visible and opacity as "0"
$('div').animate({opacity :1}, 1000); //Animate div to opacity "1"
Take a look at this Demo
Found the cause here: CSS transitions do not work when assigned trough JavaScript
To give this attention I need to give the browser some time - or better: a working slot to activate the transition as the time seems not to be a problem.
The following code cuts the process in two by using setTimeout()... and it works!
var div = $('div');
// first process
div
.css('opacity', 0) // initial opacity
.css('display', 'block') // make it appear (but still transparent)
.css('transition', 'opacity 1s linear'); // set up a transition for opacity
// break - start the transition in a new "thread" by using setTimeout()
window.setTimeout(function(){
div.css('opacity', 1); // start fade in
}, 1); // on my desktop browser only 1ms is enough but this
// may depend on the device performance
// maybe we need a bigger timeout on mobile devices
I am trying to animate a <div> to slide-in/out from the left on a button click. I am using the angular framework and ng-showto control the <div> display/visibility, and adding transitions to the ng-hide set of styles.
I have successfully managed to have the div slide in from the left, however I can not get it to slide out (it simply dissappears after the specified delay). I have tried modifying several examples online to get the behavior I am after to no avail.
JSFiddle for anyone that wants to have a look
https://jsfiddle.net/mquinlan/0wcrcwxe/5/
You got that almost right except for removing the left:0 in the selectors for .animate-show.ng-hide-add.ng-hide-add-active, .animate-show.ng-hide-remove.ng-hide-remove-active.
.animate-show.ng-hide-add.ng-hide-add-active,
.animate-show.ng-hide-remove.ng-hide-remove-active {
-moz-transition: all ease 0.5s;
transition: all ease 0.5s;
}
Updated Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/vsj62g5r/
I have this jsFiddle. When the button is clicked, I want to put the red div behind the black one immediately, then start the animation.
var red = document.getElementById("red");
var button = document.getElementById("button");
button.addEventListener("click",function () {
red.style.zIndex = -1;
red.classList.remove("shifted");
});
However, as you can see, they seem to be occurring as two separate actions. I know I can use setTimeout to wait until the zIndex property is applied, but I do not know how long I am supposed to wait, and the duration perhaps differs from browsers to computers.
Should I create a loop that will check if zindex was applied? But this also sounds like an unintelligent solution. What is the correct way?
EDIT: I do not want to change the zIndex on the black div.
You can bind to the transitioned state of the element, something like this:
("#mySelector").bind("transitionend", function(){ 'yourcodehere' });
Also, here is some info on it:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Using_CSS_transitions
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Reference/Events/transitionend
Without jQuery:
el.addEventListener("transitionend", updateTransition, true);
Edit:
There was some confusion as to the usage of:
-webkit-transition-duration: 1s;
This is applied like a styling as well. So anytime you make alterations to the element it is on, you are triggering this. You have TWO transition calls, one for setting the z-index, another for the movement.
Just put a
-webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform;
into the #red and everything is fine. ;) This applies the transition only to specified property.
JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/Qvh7G/.
The problem is with zIndex - the transform time delays the change in the zIndex.
You can simply force the duration for the transform property.
Replace:
-webkit-transition-duration: 1s;
With
-webkit-transition: -webkit-transform 1s; // ease-in;
