I'm trying to delay the trigger of a CSS animation (not slow down the animation itself, but delay it a few seconds before starting). And the image should not display before the animation runs. I looked through the other questions, and they don't seem to address this.
MY FIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/omarel/guh5f8bs/
CSS
.slideRight{
animation-name: slideRight;
-webkit-animation-name: slideRight;
animation-duration: 1s;
-webkit-animation-duration: 1s;
animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
visibility: visible !important;
}
@keyframes slideRight {
0% {
transform: translateX(-150%);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(0%);
}
}
@-webkit-keyframes slideRight {
0% {
-webkit-transform: translateX(-150%);
}
100% {
-webkit-transform: translateX(0%);
}
}
HTML
<div class="slideRight">
HI
</div>
Side note: Also is there a way to get it to work with an <a>
tag? Animations don't seem to play nice with this:
<a class="slideRight">
HI
</a>
The only way to truly pause an animation in CSS is to use the animation-play-state property with a paused value. In JavaScript, the property is “camelCased” as animationPlayState and set like this: element. style.
Another technique is to create a new set of @keyframes that is responsible for hiding the animation during the delay. Then, apply that with the original animation, at the same time. A limitation of this technique is that the pause between animations must be an integer multiple of the “paused” keyframes.
The animation-delay property specifies a delay for the start of an animation. The animation-delay value is defined in seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms).
Delaying the start of the animation is very simple. Simply add the animation-delay property to your code:
.slideRight{
animation-name: slideRight;
animation-duration: 1s;
animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
visibility: visible !important;
/* New code here: */
animation-delay: 1s;
}
It's important to note that animation-delay
only delays the start of the animation from the beginning. If you have a repeating animation, it won't add the delay to the same spot of each loop; only to the very beginning. There's currently no CSS property capable of that kind of looped delay.
All major browsers currently support animation-delay
without the need for vendor prefixes.
As for your second question regarding the <a>
element: Yes, it can work. The reason it's not working for you now is because <a>
elements are inline elements. In order to make it work like you're expecting, add display: inline-block;
to the .slideRight{}
selector. Ultimately this is what your code will look like:
.slideRight{
animation-name: slideRight;
animation-duration: 1s;
animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
visibility: visible !important;
/* New code here: */
animation-delay: 1s;
display: inline-block;
}
@keyframes slideRight {
0% {
transform: translateX(-150%);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(0%);
}
}
<a class="slideRight">HI</a>
