Quick Reference
The animation property is a shorthand property for all the other properties a CSS animation can be given.
div {
animation: my_animation 7s infinite;
}
Note
The animation-duration property must always be specified or it will be assumed to be 0 and never play.
Values
| Default value | none 0 ease 0 1 normal none running |
| Inherited values | no |
| Can it be animated? | no |
These are the allowed values.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| animation-name | Specifies the name of the keyframe you want to bind to the selector |
| animation-duration | Specifies how many seconds or milliseconds an animation takes to complete |
| animation-timing-function | Specifies the speed curve of the animation |
| animation-delay | Specifies a delay before the animation will start |
| animation-iteration-count | Specifies how many times an animation should be played |
| animation-direction | Specifies whether or not the animation should play in reverse on alternate cycles |
| animation-fill-mode | Specifies what values are applied by the animation outside the time it is executing |
| animation-play-state | Specifies whether the animation is running or paused |
| initial | Sets this property to its default value |
| inherit | Inherits this property from its parent element |
Using JavaScript
The HTML element can also be styled using JavaScript and the element’s id.
document.getElementById('my_div').style.animation = 'my_animation 4s 2';
<button onclick='my_function()'>Click Here</button>
<script>
function my_function() {
document.getElementById('my_div').style.animation = 'my_animation 4s 2';
}
</script>
