88 <p><em>This section is not normative.</em>
89 <p>
90 This document introduces new CSS features to enable <em>implicit transitions</em>, which describe how CSS properties can be made to change smoothly from one value to another over a given duration.
91 </p>
93 <h2 id="transitions"><a id="transitions-">Transitions</a></h2>
94 <p>
95 Normally when the value of a CSS property changes, the rendered result is instantly updated, with the affected elements immediately changing from the old property value to the new property value. This section describes a way to specify transitions using new CSS properties. These properties are used to animate smoothly from the old state to the new state over time.
96 </p>
97 <p>
98 For example, suppose that transitions of one second have been defined on the 'left' and
99 'background-color' properties. The following diagram illustrates the effect of updating those properties on an element, in this case moving it to the right and changing the background from red to blue. This assumes other transition parameters still have their default values.
100 </p>
101 <div class="figure">
102 <img src="transition1.png" alt="">
103 </div>
104 <p class="caption">
105 Transitions of 'left' and 'background-color'
106 </p>
107 <p>
108 Transitions are a presentational effect. The computed value of a property transitions over time from the old value to the new value. Therefore if a script queries the computed style of a property as it is transitioning, it will see an intermediate value that represents the current animated value of the property.
109 </p>
110 <p>
111 Only animatable CSS properties can be transitioned. See the table at the end of this document for a list
112 of properties that are animatable.
113 </p>
114 <p>
115 The transition for a property is defined using a number of new properties. For example:
116 </p>
117 <div class="example">
118 <p style="display:none">
119 Example(s):
120 </p>
121 <pre>
122 div {
123 transition-property: opacity;
124 transition-duration: 2s;
125 }
126 </pre>The above example defines a transition on the 'opacity' property that, when a new value is assigned to it, will cause a smooth change between the old value and the new value over a period of two seconds.
127 </div>
128 <p>
129 Each of the transition properties accepts a comma-separated list, allowing multiple transitions to be defined, each acting on a different property. In this case, the individual transitions take their parameters from the same index in all the lists. For example:
130 </p>
131 <div class="example">
132 <p style="display:none">
133 Example(s):
134 </p>
135 <pre>
136 div {
137 transition-property: opacity, left;
138 transition-duration: 2s, 4s;
139 }
141 </pre>This will cause the 'opacity' property to transition over a period of two seconds and the left property to transition over a period of four seconds.
142 </div>
144 <p id="list-matching">
145 In the case where the lists of values in transition properties
146 do not have the same length, the length of the
147 'transition-property' list determines the number of items in
148 each list examined when starting transitions. The lists are
149 matched up from the first value: excess values at the end are
150 not used. If one of the other properties doesn't have enough
151 comma-separated values to match the number of values of
152 'transition-property', the UA must calculate its used value by
153 repeating the list of values until there are enough. This
154 truncation or repetition does not affect the computed value.
155 <span class="note">
156 Note: This is analogous to the behavior of the 'background-*'
157 properties, with 'background-image' analogous to
158 'transition-property'.
159 </span>
160 </p>
162 <div class="example">
163 <p style="display:none">
164 Example(s):
165 </p>
166 <pre>
167 div {
168 transition-property: opacity, left, top, width;
169 transition-duration: 2s, 1s;
170 }
171 </pre>The above example defines a transition on the 'opacity' property of 2 seconds duration, a
172 transition on the 'left' property of 1
173 second duration, a transition on the 'top' property of 2 seconds duration and a
174 transition on the 'width' property of 1
175 second duration.

184 The 'transition-property' property specifies the name of the CSS property to which the transition is applied.

186 <div class="issue">
187 We may ultimately want to support a keypath syntax for this property. A keypath syntax would enable different transitions to be specified for components of a property. For example the blur of a shadow could have a different transition than the color of a shadow.

278 <p>
279 A value of ''none'' means that no property will transition.
280 Otherwise, a list of properties to be transitioned, or the
281 keyword ''all'' which indicates that all properties are to be
282 transitioned, is given.
283 </p>
285 <p>
286 If one of the identifiers listed is not a recognized property
287 name or is not an animatable property, the implementation must
288 still start transitions on the animatable properties in the
289 list using the duration, delay, and timing function at their
290 respective indices in the lists for 'transition-duration',
291 'transition-delay', and 'transition-timing-function'. In other
292 words, unrecognized or non-animatable properties must be kept in
293 the list to preserve the matching of indices.
294 </p>
296 <p>
297 The keywords ''none'', ''inherit'', and ''initial'' are not
298 permitted as items within a list of more that one identifier;
299 any list that uses them is syntactically invalid.
300 In other words, the <IDENT> production in
301 <span><single-transition-property></span> matches any
302 identifier other than these three keywords.
303 </p>
305 <p>
306 For the keyword ''all'', or if one of the identifiers listed is a
307 shorthand property, implementations must start transitions for
308 any of its longhand sub-properties that are animatable (or, for
309 ''all'', all animatable properties), using the duration, delay,
310 and timing function at the index corresponding to the shorthand.
311 </p>
312 <p>
313 If a property is specified multiple times in the value of
314 'transition-property' (either on its own, via a shorthand that
315 contains it, or via the ''all'' value), then the transition that
316 starts uses the duration, delay, and timing function at the
317 index corresponding to the <em>last</em> item in the value of
318 'transition-property' that calls for animating that property.
319 </p>
320 <p class="note">
321 Note: The ''all'' value and 'all' shorthand
322 property work in similar ways, so the
323 ''all'' value is just like a shorthand that
324 covers all properties.

419 This property specifies how long the transition from the old value to the new value should take. By default the value is ''0s'', meaning that the transition is immediate (i.e. there will be no animation). A negative value for 'transition-duration' renders the declaration invalid.

426 The 'transition-timing-function' Property
427 </a></h3>
428 <p>
429 The 'transition-timing-function' property
430 describes how the intermediate values used during a transition will be
431 calculated. It allows for a transition to change speed over its
432 duration. These effects are commonly called <em>easing</em> functions.
433 In either case, a mathematical function that provides a smooth curve is
434 used.
435 </p>
436 <p>
437 Timing functions are either defined as a stepping function or
438 a <a
439 href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Cubic_B.C3.A9zier_curves">cubic
440 Bézier curve</a>.
441 The timing function takes as its input
442 the current elapsed percentage of the transition duration
443 and outputs the percentage of the way the transition is
444 from its start value to its end value.
445 How this output is used is defined by
446 the <a href="#animatable-types">interpolation rules</a>
447 for the value type.
448 </p>
449 <p>
450 A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_function">stepping</a>
451 function is defined by a number that divides the domain of operation
452 into equally sized intervals. Each subsequent interval is a equal step
453 closer to the goal state. The function also specifies whether the
454 change in output percentage happens at the start or end of the
455 interval (in other words, if 0% on the input percentage is the point
456 of initial change).

463 output value is 0 for all input values less than 1, and output
464 is 1 for the input value of 1. steps(3, start) is a function that
465 divides the input domain into three segments, each 1/3 in length,
466 and 1/3 above the previous segment, with the first segment starting
467 at 1/3. steps(3, end) is a function that

655 The 'transition-delay' Property
656 </a></h3>
657 <p>
658 The 'transition-delay' property defines when the transition will start. It allows a transition to begin execution some some period of time from when it is applied. A 'transition-delay' value of ''0s'' means the transition will execute as soon as the property is changed. Otherwise, the value specifies an offset from the moment the property is changed, and the transition will delay execution by that offset.
659 </p>
660 <p>
661 If the value for 'transition-delay' is a negative time offset then the transition will execute the moment the property is changed, but will appear to have begun execution at the specified offset. That is, the transition will appear to begin part-way through its play cycle. In the case where a transition has implied starting values and a negative 'transition-delay', the starting values are taken from the moment the property is changed.

864 Starting of transitions
865 </h2>
867 <p>
868 When the computed value of an animatable property changes,
869 implementations must decide what transitions to start based on
870 the values of the 'transition-property', 'transition-duration',
871 'transition-timing-function', and 'transition-delay' properties
872 at the time the animatable property would first have its new
873 computed value.
874 </p>
875 <div class="example" id="manual-reversing-example">
876 <p style="display:none">
877 Example(s):
878 </p>
879 <p>This provides a way for authors to specify different values
880 of the 'transition-*' properties for the “forward”
881 and “reverse” transitions (but see <a
882 href="#reversing">below</a> for special reversing behavior when
883 an <em>incomplete</em> transition is interrupted). Authors can
884 specify the value of 'transition-duration',
885 'transition-timing-function', or 'transition-delay' in the same
886 rule where they specify the value that triggers the transition,
887 or can change these properties at the same time as they change
888 the property that triggers the transition. Since it's the new
889 values of these 'transition-*' properties that affect the
890 transition, these values will be used for the transitions
891 <em>to</em> the associated transitioning values. For example:
892 </p>
893 <pre>li {
894 transition: background-color linear 1s;
895 background: blue;
896 }
897 li:hover {
898 background-color: green;
899 transition-duration: 2s; /* applies to the transition *to* the :hover state */
900 }</pre>
901 <p>
902 When a list item with these style rules enters the :hover
903 state, the computed 'transition-duration' at the time that
904 'background-color' would have its new value (''green'') is ''2s'',
905 so the transition from 'blue' to 'green' takes 2 seconds.
906 However, when the list item leaves the :hover state, the
907 transition from ''green'' to ''blue'' takes 1 second.
908 </p>
909 </div>
911 <p>
912 When the computed value of a property changes, implementations
913 must start transitions based on the relevant item (see <a
914 href="#transition-property">the definition of
915 'transition-property'</a>) in the computed value of
916 'transition-property'.
917 Corresponding to this item there are
918 computed values of 'transition-duration' and 'transition-delay'
919 (see <a href="#list-matching">the rules on matching lists</a>).
920 Define the <dfn>combined duration</dfn> of the transition
921 as the sum of max('transition-duration', ''0s'') and 'transition-delay'.
922 When the combined duration is greater than ''0s'',
923 then a transition starts based on the values of
924 'transition-duration', 'transition-delay',
925 and 'transition-timing-function';
926 in other cases transitions do not occur.
927 </p>
929 <p>
930 Since this specification does not define
931 when computed values change, and thus what changes to
932 computed values are considered simultaneous,
933 authors should be aware that changing any of the transition
934 properties a small amount of time after making a change that
935 might transition can result in behavior that varies between
936 implementations, since the changes might be considered
937 simultaneous in some implementations but not others.
938 </p>
940 <p>
941 Once the transition of a property has started, it must continue
942 running based on the original timing function, duration, and
943 delay, even if the 'transition-timing-function',
944 'transition-duration', or 'transition-delay' property changes
945 before the transition is complete. However, if the
946 'transition-property' property changes such that the transition
947 would not have started, the transition must stop (and the
948 property must immediately change to its final value).
949 </p>
951 <p>
952 Implementations must not start a transition when the computed
953 value of a property changes as a result of declarative animation
954 (as opposed to scripted animation).
955 </p>
957 <p>
958 Implementations also must not start a transition when the
959 computed value changes because it is inherited (directly or
960 indirectly) from another element that is transitioning the same
961 property.
962 </p>
964 <h2 id="reversing">
965 Automatically reversing interrupted transitions
966 </h2>
967 <p>
968 A common type of transition effect is when a running transition is
969 interrupted and the property is reset to its original value. An
970 example is a hover effect on an element, where the pointer enters and
971 exits the element before the effect has completed. If the outgoing and
972 incoming transitions are executed using their specified durations and
973 timing functions, the resulting effect can be distractingly
974 asymmetric. Instead, the expected behavior is that the new transition
975 should be the reverse of what has already executed.
976 </p>
978 <p>
979 If a running transition with duration T, executing so far for duration TE,
980 from state A, to state B, is interrupted by
981 a property change that would start a new transition back to state A, and
982 all the transition attributes are the same (duration, delay and timing function),
983 then the new transition must reverse the effect. The new transition must:
984 </p>
986 <ol>
987 <li>
988 Use the B and A states as its "from" and "to" states respectively. It
989 does not use the current value as its from state, due to the rules below.
990 </li>
991 <li>
992 Execute with the same duration T, but starting as if the transition had
993 already begun, without any transition delay, at the moment which would
994 cause the new transition to finish in TE from the moment of interruption. In other
995 words, the new transition will execute as if it started T-TE in the past.
996 </li>
997 <li>
998 Use a timing function that is the portion of the curve traversed up
999 to the moment of interruption, followed in the opposite direction (towards
1000 the starting point). This will make the transition appear as if it
1001 is playing backwards.
1002 </li>
1003 <li>
1004 Ignore any transition delay.
1005 </li>
1006 </ol>
1008 <p>
1009 For example, suppose there is a transition with a duration of two
1010 seconds. If this transition is interrupted after 0.5 seconds and the
1011 property value assigned to the original value, then the new transition
1012 effect will be the reverse of the original, as if it had begun
1013 1.5 seconds in the past.
1014 </p>
1016 <p>
1017 Note that by using the defined from and to states for the reversing
1018 transition, it is also possible that it may reverse again, if
1019 interrupted; for example, if the transition reversing to state A was
1020 again interrupted by a property change to state B.
1021 </p>
1023 <p class="issue">Issue:
1024 This introduces the concept of reversing a timing function,
1025 which the spec has otherwise resisted doing, and also introduces
1026 a discontinuity between transitions that have
1027 almost completed (which get automatically reversed and thus have
1028 their timing function reversed) and transitions that have fully
1029 completed (where the reversal doesn't lead to the timing
1030 function being reversed). An alternative proposal that avoids
1031 this is to follow the normal timing function algorithm, except
1032 multiply the duration (and also shorten any negative delay) by
1033 the (output) value of the transition timing function of the
1034 incomplete transition at the time it was interrupted, and, to
1035 account for multiple reverses in sequence, to divide by the
1036 shortening applied to the transition being interrupted. For
1037 more details see this thread:

1229 When interpolating between two values,
1230 <i>V</i><sub>start</sub> and <i>V</i><sub>end</sub>,
1231 interpolation is done using the output <i>p</i> of the timing function,
1232 which gives the portion of the value space
1233 that the interpolation has crossed.
1234 Thus the result of the interpolation is
1235 <i>V</i><sub>res</sub> =
1236 (1 - <i>p</i>) ⋅ <i>V</i><sub>start</sub> +
1237 <i>p</i> ⋅ <i>V</i><sub>end</sub>.
1238 </p>
1240 <p>
1241 However, if this value (<i>V</i><sub>res</sub>)
1242 is outside the allowed range of values for the property,
1243 then it is clamped to that range.
1244 This can occur if <i>p</i> is outside of the range 0 to 1,
1245 which can occur if a timing function is specified
1246 with a <i>y1</i> or <i>y2</i> that is outside the range 0 to 1.
1247 </p>
1249 <p>
1250 The following describes how each property type undergoes transition or
1251 animation.
1252 </p>
1254 <ul>
1255 <li>
1256 <strong>color</strong>: interpolated via red, green, blue and alpha
1257 components (treating each as a number, see below).
1258 The interpolation is done between premultiplied colors
1259 (that is, colors for which the red, green, and blue components
1260 specified have been multiplied by the alpha).
1261 </li>
1262 <li>
1263 <strong>length</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.
1264 </li>
1265 <li>
1266 <strong>percentage</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.
1267 </li>
1268 <li>
1269 <strong>length, percentage, or calc</strong>: when both values
1270 are lengths, interpolated as lengths; when both values are
1271 percentages, interpolated as percentages; otherwise, both
1272 values are converted into a ''calc()'' function that is the
1273 sum of a length and a percentage (each possibly zero), and
1274 these ''calc()'' functions have each half interpolated as real
1275 numbers.
1276 </li>
1277 <li>
1278 <strong>integer</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps (whole
1279 numbers). The interpolation happens in real number space and is
1280 converted to an integer using <code>floor()</code>.
1281 <span class="issue">
1282 This floor behavior is inconsistent with SMIL Animation /
1283 SVG Animation.
1284 </span>
1285 </li>
1286 <li>
1287 <strong>font weight</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps
1288 (multiples of 100). The interpolation happens in real number
1289 space and is converted to an integer by rounding to the
1290 nearest multiple of 100.
1291 <span class="issue">
1292 This round-to-nearest behavior is inconsistent with the
1293 floor behavior used for integer types, but probably should
1294 be consistent (one way or the other).
1295 </span>
1296 </li>
1297 <li>
1298 <strong>number</strong>: interpolated as real (floating point)
1299 numbers.
1300 </li>
1301 <li>
1302 <strong>transform list</strong>: see
1303 CSS Transforms specification [[!CSS3-TRANSFORMS]].
1304 </li>
1305 <li>
1306 <strong>rectangle</strong>: interpolated via the x, y,
1307 width and height components (treating each as a number).
1308 </li>
1309 <li>
1310 <strong>visibility</strong>: if one of the values is
1311 ''visible'', interpolated as a discrete step where values of the
1312 timing function between 0 and 1 map to ''visible'' and other
1313 values of the timing function (which occur only at the
1314 start/end of the transition or as a result of ''cubic-bezier()''
1315 functions with Y values outside of [0, 1]) map to the closer
1316 endpoint; if neither value is ''visible'' then not interpolable.
1317 </li>
1318 <li>
1319 <strong>shadow</strong>: interpolated via the color, x, y
1320 and blur components (treating them as color and numbers where
1321 appropriate). In the case where there are lists of shadows,
1322 the shorter list is padded at the end with shadows whose
1323 color is transparent and all lengths (x, y, blur) are 0.
1324 </li>
1325 <li>
1326 <strong>gradient</strong>: interpolated via the
1327 positions and colors of each stop. They must have the same type
1328 (radial or linear) and same number of stops in order to be animated.
1329 <span class="note">Note: [[CSS3-IMAGES]] may extend this
1330 definition.</span>
1331 </li>
1332 <li>
1333 <strong>paint server</strong> (SVG): interpolation is only supported
1334 between: gradient to gradient and color to color. They then
1335 work as above.
1336 </li>
1337 <li>
1338 <strong>list of above types</strong>: If the lists have the
1339 same number of items, each item in the list is interpolated using the
1340 rules above. Otherwise the interpolation is determined by the property
1341 rules. If the property extends its list by repeating values, then this
1342 repeated form will be used in the interpolation ('background-position'
1343 is an example of a property that would transition between lists of different lengths). If
1344 the property does not allow extending its list, then no interpolation
1345 will occur.
1346 </li>
1347 <li>
1348 <strong>a shorthand property</strong>: If any part of a
1349 shorthand can be animated, then interpolation is performed as
1350 if those animatable properties were individually specified.
1351 </li>
1352 </ul>
1354 <p>Future specifications may define additional types that can
1355 be animated.</p>

1365 <p>For properties that exist at the time this specification was
1366 developed, this specification defines whether and how they are
1367 animated. However, future CSS specifications may define
1368 additional properties, additional values for existing properties,
1369 or additional animation behavior of existing values. In order to
1370 describe new animation behaviors and to have the definition of
1371 animation behavior in a more appropriate location, future CSS
1372 specifications should include an "Animatable:" line in the summary
1373 of the property's definition (in addition to the other lines
1374 described in [[CSS21]], <a
1375 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">section
1376 1.4.2</a>). This line should say "no" to indicate that a property
1377 cannot be animated or should reference an animation behavior
1378 (which may be one of the behaviors in the <a
1379 href="#animation-of-property-types-">Animation of property
1380 types</a> section above, or may be a new behavior) to define how
1381 the property animates. Such definitions override those given in
1382 this specification.</p>

1388 <p>The following properties are animatable when both the from and
1389 the to values of the property have the type described.
1390 When multiple types are listed, both values must be of the same type.
1391 (When a composite type such as "length, percentage, or calc" is listed,
1392 this means that both values must fit into that composite
