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 <code class="property">'left'</code> and
99 <code class="property">'background-color'</code> 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 <code class="property">'left'</code> and <code class="property">'background-color'</code>
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 <code class="property">'opacity'</code> 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 <code class="property">'opacity'</code> 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 <code class="property">'opacity'</code> property of 2 seconds duration, a
172 transition on the <code class="property">'left'</code> property of 1
173 second duration, a transition on the <code class="property">'top'</code> property of 2 seconds duration and a
174 transition on the <code class="property">'width'</code> property of 1
175 second duration.

182 </a></h3>
183 <p>
184 The <code class="property">'transition-property'</code> property specifies the name of the CSS property to which the transition is applied.
185 </p>
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.

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>
295 <p class="issue">
296 Are 'none', 'inherit', and 'initial' allowed as items in
297 a list of identifiers (of length greater than one)?
298 </p>
299 <p>
300 For the keyword 'all', or if one of the identifiers listed is a
301 shorthand property, implementations must start transitions for
302 any of its longhand sub-properties that are animatable (or, for
303 'all', all animatable properties), using the duration, delay,
304 and timing function at the index corresponding to the shorthand.
305 </p>
306 <p>
307 If a property is specified multiple times in the value of
308 'transition-property' (either on its own, via a shorthand that
309 contains it, or via the 'all' value), then the transition that
310 starts uses the duration, delay, and timing function at the
311 index corresponding to the <em>last</em> item in the value of
312 'transition-property' that calls for animating that property.
313 </p>
314 <p class="note">
315 Note: The <code class="property">all</code> value and shorthand
316 properties work in similar ways, so the <code

413 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 <code class="property">transition-duration</code> renders the declaration invalid.

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

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

649 The <code class="property">'transition-delay'</code> Property
650 </a></h3>
651 <p>
652 The <code class="property">'transition-delay'</code> 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 <code class="property">'transition-delay'</code> 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.
653 </p>
654 <p>
655 If the value for <code class="property">'transition-delay'</code> 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 <code class="property">'transition-delay'</code>, the starting values are taken from the moment the property is changed.

858 Starting of transitions
859 </h2>
861 <p>
862 When the computed value of an animatable property changes,
863 implementations must decide what transitions to start based on
864 the values of the 'transition-property', 'transition-duration',
865 'transition-timing-function', and 'transition-delay' properties
866 at the time the animatable property would first have its new
867 computed value.
868 </p>
869 <div class="example" id="manual-reversing-example">
870 <p style="display:none">
871 Example(s):
872 </p>
873 <p>This provides a way for authors to specify different values
874 of the 'transition-*' properties for the “forward”
875 and “reverse” transitions (but see <a
876 href="#reversing">below</a> for special reversing behavior when
877 an <em>incomplete</em> transition is interrupted). Authors can
878 specify the value of 'transition-duration',
879 'transition-timing-function', or 'transition-delay' in the same
880 rule where they specify the value that triggers the transition,
881 or can change these properties at the same time as they change
882 the property that triggers the transition. Since it's the new
883 values of these 'transition-*' properties that affect the
884 transition, these values will be used for the transitions
885 <em>to</em> the associated transitioning values. For example:
886 </p>
887 <pre>li {
888 transition: background-color linear 1s;
889 background: blue;
890 }
891 li:hover {
892 background-color: green;
893 transition-duration: 2s; /* applies to the transition *to* the :hover state */
894 }</pre>
895 <p>
896 When a list item with these style rules enters the :hover
897 state, the computed 'transition-duration' at the time that
898 'background-color' would have its new value ('green') is '2s',
899 so the transition from 'blue' to 'green' takes 2 seconds.
900 However, when the list item leaves the :hover state, the
901 transition from 'green' to 'blue' takes 1 second.
902 </p>
903 </div>
905 <p>
906 When the computed value of a property changes, implementations
907 must start transitions based on the relevant item (see <a
908 href="#transition-property">the definition of
909 'transition-property'</a>) in the computed value of
910 'transition-property'.
911 Corresponding to this item there are
912 computed values of 'transition-duration' and 'transition-delay'
913 (see <a href="#list-matching">the rules on matching lists</a>).
914 Define the <dfn>combined duration</dfn> of the transition
915 as the sum of max('transition-duration', '0s') and 'transition-delay'.
916 When the combined duration is greater than '0s',
917 then a transition starts based on the values of
918 'transition-duration', 'transition-delay',
919 and 'transition-timing-function';
920 in other cases transitions do not occur.
921 </p>
923 <p>
924 Since this specification does not define
925 when computed values change, and thus what changes to
926 computed values are considered simultaneous,
927 authors should be aware that changing any of the transition
928 properties a small amount of time after making a change that
929 might transition can result in behavior that varies between
930 implementations, since the changes might be considered
931 simultaneous in some implementations but not others.
932 </p>
933 <p class="note">Say something about simultaneity</p>
935 <p>
936 Once the transition of a property has started, it must continue
937 running based on the original timing function, duration, and
938 delay, even if the 'transition-timing-function',
939 'transition-duration', or 'transition-delay' property changes
940 before the transition is complete. However, if the
941 'transition-property' property changes such that the transition
942 would not have started, the transition must stop (and the
943 property must immediately change to its final value).
944 </p>
946 <p>
947 Implementations must not start a transition when the computed
948 value of a property changes as a result of declarative animation
949 (as opposed to scripted animation).
950 </p>
952 <p>
953 Implementations also must not start a transition when the
954 computed value changes because it is inherited (directly or
955 indirectly) from another element that is transitioning the same
956 property.
957 </p>
959 <h2 id="reversing">
960 Automatically reversing interrupted transitions
961 </h2>
962 <p>
963 A common type of transition effect is when a running transition is
964 interrupted and the property is reset to its original value. An
965 example is a hover effect on an element, where the pointer enters and
966 exits the element before the effect has completed. If the outgoing and
967 incoming transitions are executed using their specified durations and
968 timing functions, the resulting effect can be distractingly
969 asymmetric. Instead, the expected behavior is that the new transition
970 should be the reverse of what has already executed.
971 </p>
973 <p>
974 If a running transition with duration T, executing so far for duration TE,
975 from state A, to state B, is interrupted by
976 a property change that would start a new transition back to state A, and
977 all the transition attributes are the same (duration, delay and timing function),
978 then the new transition must reverse the effect. The new transition must:
979 </p>
981 <ol>
982 <li>
983 Use the B and A states as its "from" and "to" states respectively. It
984 does not use the current value as its from state, due to the rules below.
985 </li>
986 <li>
987 Execute with the same duration T, but starting as if the transition had
988 already begun, without any transition delay, at the moment which would
989 cause the new transition to finish in TE from the moment of interruption. In other
990 words, the new transition will execute as if it started T-TE in the past.
991 </li>
992 <li>
993 Use a timing function that is the portion of the curve traversed up
994 to the moment of interruption, followed in the opposite direction (towards
995 the starting point). This will make the transition appear as if it
996 is playing backwards.
997 </li>
998 <li>
999 Ignore any transition delay.
1000 </li>
1001 </ol>
1003 <p>
1004 For example, suppose there is a transition with a duration of two
1005 seconds. If this transition is interrupted after 0.5 seconds and the
1006 property value assigned to the original value, then the new transition
1007 effect will be the reverse of the original, as if it had begun
1008 1.5 seconds in the past.
1009 </p>
1011 <p>
1012 Note that by using the defined from and to states for the reversing
1013 transition, it is also possible that it may reverse again, if
1014 interrupted; for example, if the transition reversing to state A was
1015 again interrupted by a property change to state B.
1016 </p>
1018 <p class="issue">Issue:
1019 This introduces the concept of reversing a timing function,
1020 which the spec has otherwise resisted doing, and also introduces
1021 a discontinuity between transitions that have
1022 almost completed (which get automatically reversed and thus have
1023 their timing function reversed) and transitions that have fully
1024 completed (where the reversal doesn't lead to the timing
1025 function being reversed). An alternative proposal that avoids
1026 this is to follow the normal timing function algorithm, except
1027 multiply the duration (and also shorten any negative delay) by
1028 the (output) value of the transition timing function of the
1029 incomplete transition at the time it was interrupted, and, to
1030 account for multiple reverses in sequence, to divide by the
1031 shortening applied to the transition being interrupted. For
1032 more details see this thread:

1232 <i>p</i> ⋅ <i>V</i><sub>end</sub>.
1233 </p>
1235 <p>
1236 However, if this value (<i>V</i><sub>res</sub>)
1237 is outside the allowed range of values for the property,
1238 then it is clamped to that range.
1239 This can occur if <i>p</i> is outside of the range 0 to 1,
1240 which can occur if a timing function is specified
1241 with a <i>y1</i> or <i>y2</i> that is outside the range 0 to 1.
1242 </p>
1244 <p>
1245 The following describes how each property type undergoes transition or
1246 animation.
1247 </p>
1249 <ul>
1250 <li>
1251 <strong>color</strong>: interpolated via red, green, blue and alpha
1252 components (treating each as a number, see below).
1253 <div class="issue">Issue: Are the colors interpolated in
1254 premultiplied space or non-premultiplied space?</div>
1255 </li>
1256 <li>
1257 <strong>length</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.
1258 </li>
1259 <li>
1260 <strong>percentage</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.
1261 </li>
1262 <li>
1263 <strong>integer</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps (whole
1264 numbers). The interpolation happens in real number space and is
1265 converted to an integer using <code>floor()</code>.
1266 <span class="issue">
1267 This floor behavior is inconsistent with SMIL Animation /
1268 SVG Animation.
1269 </span>
1270 </li>
1271 <li>
1272 <strong>font weight</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps
1273 (multiples of 100). The interpolation happens in real number
1274 space and is converted to an integer by rounding to the
1275 nearest multiple of 100.
1276 <span class="issue">
1277 This round-to-nearest behavior is inconsistent with the
1278 floor behavior used for integer types, but probably should
1279 be consistent (one way or the other).
1280 </span>
1281 </li>
1282 <li>
1283 <strong>number</strong>: interpolated as real (floating point)
1284 numbers.
1285 </li>
1286 <li>
1287 <strong>transform list</strong>: see
1288 CSS Transforms specification [[!CSS3-TRANSFORMS]].
1289 </li>
1290 <li>
1291 <strong>rectangle</strong>: interpolated via the x, y,
1292 width and height components (treating each as a number).
1293 </li>
1294 <li>
1295 <strong>visibility</strong>: if one of the values is
1296 'visible', interpolated as a discrete step where values of the
1297 timing function between 0 and 1 map to 'visible' and other
1298 values of the timing function (which occur only at the
1299 start/end of the transition or as a result of 'cubic-bezier()'
1300 functions with Y values outside of [0, 1]) map to the closer
1301 endpoint; if neither value is 'visible' then not interpolable.
1302 </li>
1303 <li>
1304 <strong>shadow</strong>: interpolated via the color, x, y
1305 and blur components (treating them as color and numbers where
1306 appropriate). In the case where there are lists of shadows,
1307 the shorter list is padded at the end with shadows whose
1308 color is transparent and all lengths (x, y, blur) are 0.
1309 </li>
1310 <li>
1311 <strong>gradient</strong>: interpolated via the
1312 positions and colors of each stop. They must have the same type
1313 (radial or linear) and same number of stops in order to be animated.
1314 <span class="note">Note: [[CSS3-IMAGES]] may extend this
1315 definition.</span>
1316 </li>
1317 <li>
1318 <strong>paint server</strong> (SVG): interpolation is only supported
1319 between: gradient to gradient and color to color. They then
1320 work as above.
1321 </li>
1322 <li>
1323 <strong>list of above types</strong>: If the lists have the
1324 same number of items, each item in the list is interpolated using the
1325 rules above. Otherwise the interpolation is determined by the property
1326 rules. If the property extends its list by repeating values, then this
1327 repeated form will be used in the interpolation (<code class="property">'background-position'</code>
1328 is an example of a property that would transition between lists of different lengths). If
1329 the property does not allow extending its list, then no interpolation
1330 will occur.
1331 </li>
1332 <li>
1333 <strong>a shorthand property</strong>: If any part of a
1334 shorthand can be animated, then interpolation is performed as
1335 if those animatable properties were individually specified.
1336 </li>
1337 </ul>
1339 <p class="issue">Need to add a length-percentage-calc type.</p>
1341 <p>Future specifications may define additional types that can
1342 be animated.</p>

1352 <p>For properties that exist at the time this specification was
1353 developed, this specification defines whether and how they are
1354 animated. However, future CSS specifications may define
1355 additional properties, additional values for existing properties,
1356 or additional animation behavior of existing values. In order to
1357 describe new animation behaviors and to have the definition of
1358 animation behavior in a more appropriate location, future CSS
1359 specifications should include an "Animatable:" line in the summary
1360 of the property's definition (in addition to the other lines
1361 described in [[CSS21]], <a
1362 href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">section
1363 1.4.2</a>). This line should say "no" to indicate that a property
1364 cannot be animated or should reference an animation behavior
1365 (which may be one of the behaviors in the <a
1366 href="#animation-of-property-types-">Animation of property
1367 types</a> section above, or may be a new behavior) to define how
1368 the property animates. Such definitions override those given in
1369 this specification.</p>

1375 <p class="issue">Need to define what listing comma-separated
1376 things here means. In particular, that they only apply when
1377 both values fit the type, and that if one of the values is a
1378 type not listed, or if two of the values are different types,
1379 then the two values cannot be interpolated.</p>
