With reference of previous chapter now you may have familiarity with CSS3 Text Effects. In this chapter we will learn about the CSS3 Transition Effect, Which is one of the most powerful weapons of CSS3.

CSS3 Transition Effects

A CSS3 Transition Effect is a such an effect that lets an element gradually change from one style to another style. CSS3 Transition Effect is best suited for animation uses. But still a lot can be done without using the animation. A user interface is necessary to see the effects of transition. The all major browser support the CSS3 Transition Effects.

Although CSS3 Transition Effect is sufficient for the transition of an element, but a text-transform property can enhance the style of CSS3 Transition Effects.

There are mainly four properties of CSS3 Transition Effects, which has been described as follows:

✔ transition-property

✔ transition-duration

✔ transition-timing-function

✔ transition-delay

transition-property

Where transition-property is used to define about the css3 properties, on which the properties should be applied or not. The following Syntax can be found can be used to define the property.

transition-property: all;

transition-property: none;

transition-property: background-color;

transition-property: background-color, height, width;

transition-duration

Where transition-duration is used to define the time of corresponding transitions to take effect. The time can be set in seconds/milliseconds.

transition-duration: 2s;

transition-duration: 1000ms;

transition-duration: 1000ms, 2000ms;

transition-timing-function

Where transition-timing-function is used to define the style of transition take effect over its transition-duration. This can be done using the predefined function or can be done using a customized cubic process.

transition-timing-function: ease;

transition-timing-function: ease-in;

transition-timing-function: ease-in-out;

transition-timing-function: ease, linear;

transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(1.000, 0.835, 0.000, 0.945);

ease
ease-in
ease-out
linear
ease-in-out

transition-delay

Where transition-delay is used to determine the time duration between transition start and it finishing. Negative values are also acceptable in transition-delay.

transition-delay: 2s;

transition-delay: 1000ms, 2000ms;

transition-delay: -2s;

-5s delay
no delay
2s delay
