I've got an element which i'm trying to animate in. I want to do the animation in two steps, first scale and rotate a square in, and then widen the square. I start off by transform: scale(.1) rotateX(360deg); and animate to transform: none, which works well. But as soon as i (in any step) declare a height/width in the keyframes, the rotation stops working. It will still scale as it should, and the height/width properties are applied, but the rotation is skipped entirely.
Here is a Codepen to demonstrate the issue:

As you see, there's no rotation going on in there, it just simply scales in. Now, scroll down in the CSS and comment out the height/width properties, and you'll see that the rotation now suddenly works.
I've tried different combinations of having/not having height/width declared in the normal selector (not in the keyframe), i've also tried putting the height/width declarations in different steps in the keyframes. No success.
I get the same result in both Firefox in Chrome. Is this the intended behaviour? If so, why? Are there any workarounds?
Something to do with the transforms in the keyframes not being balanced?. You need to add translateX(0deg) to either the 40% keyframe, of 100% keyframe, depending on where you want it.

I'd sure love it if somebody could explain the reason - but this is the "solution"

I've encountered a small glitch in the CSS animation scale(). I've set up the CSS to scale an image 1.1 times when I hover the image. This happens correctly, but an annoying line goes over the image as well. This is due to the scale() transform, because if I leave this out, the lines do not show. Can this be because I make the image bigger than its actual size or ... ?
It's even showing in this fiddle I created: http://jsfiddle.net/gpafke6y/
transform: scale(1.1)
Image showing what I mean:
Use transition 0.5s that will be more smooth. See here or here for Details
I have to make an animation with css. A logo flying and enlarging into the front based on a curved path or parabola. I made a small sketch.
The logo is staring small top right, flying and getting larger and is ending left center.

I found a lot of informations about cubic-bezier also cubic-bezier editors, but unfortnatelly I am not able to realize this.
The html
<div class="animation"><img src="logo.jpg"></div>
The css
.animation {
transition: all 500ms cubic-bezier(0.725, -0.385, 0.970, 0.465);
transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.725, -0.385, 0.970, 0.465);
}
This was one (of several) trys but the logo isn't animated. Besides, if I understand it, that is only the path without scaling.
Where is my thinking error?
Thanks a lot & regards!
First, cubic-bezier is a timing function, not a "path" function. It's not going to accomplish what you are after.
Second, to accomplish what you desire, use the CSS3 matrix transition property in conjunction with a custom animation function with a custom step callback. Either that, or adjust CSS properties like top, left, height, and width directly with said animation function.
Good luck!
problem: i want to skew box than rotate it but what happens is that it gets rotated first and then skewed.
http://jsfiddle.net/74ehh/2/
see comment as i got it
As you can see this messes up the result so instead of box that's little tilted and rotated. I get box that is rotated and tilted which's hard to comprehend and not what i wanted.
i tried changing order like so..
transform: skew(30deg) rotate(30deg);
but that didn't work.
or could someone elaborate on how would i go about calculating skew if box is rotated.
So what can i do?
First about Order: it's from left to right. so in code...
-webkit-transform: skew(30deg) rotate(30deg);
it will get skewed first and then rotated.
what i was having trouble is that child elements were working with it...
what i found out is that it's actually that skew property is that is screwed (fortunately)?
to skew it doesn't matter how much parent of the element of the element itself is rotated to it north/top of monitor will always be 0degree.
I am trying to apply a Minecraft-like style to a div element. The end result should look something like the "if not ok then return end" message:
Quick sidenote: For those of you who haven't played the game, a random line from a specific file is read and it's contents are displayed as the message of the day. It throbs in and out and grabs your attention.
The text shadow, font, and throbbing animation has already been done. However, when I try to apply the second animation, it overrides the throbbing animation (meaning it does not throb, but is rotated)
My CSS is as follows:
#random-message {
/* font/text stuff */
animation:minecraft, minecraft-rotate 0.5s infinite;
-webkit-animation:minecraft 0.5s infinite; /* Safari and Chrome */
}
The animation minecraft applies a transform: scale effect, and minecraft-rotate applies a transform: rotate effect.
What would be the best way to implement a rotation effect without overriding my throbbing effect?
You don't want to have a rotation animation...you want to rotate the div. Simply add transform: rotate(340deg); line to the css block.
Any given element can have only one transform at any given time. Any attempt to set at the same time 2 transforms will result in one of them being overriden.
You can:
1) set two divs, one inside the other, and apply a different transform to the parent and to the child.
2) build the composite transform. In the case of an animation, that means creating composite transforms for each frame.
I applied the following CSS transform to an HTML input box.
-webkit-transform: scale(.5);
When I type text into the input box until it has filled the visible area, the caret continues past the edge of the input and is hidden. Normally the caret and the text would scroll as you type.
The text does eventually start scrolling once the caret has gone the width of the pre-scaled input. The browser seems to be ignoring the scaling when calculating when to scroll the text.
This is only an issue with WebKit browsers (tested with Chrome and iPad). The -moz-transform equivalent works fine in FireFox. The zoom property works fine in webkit, but it isn't nearly smooth enough when scaling on the iPad, so I can't really use it for my project.
You can see an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/4Kv6w/
The first input box is with the -webkit-transform scaling. The second box is with zoom set. The third is normal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT - You can also get the problem without scaling, by using -webkit-transform to move the input box to the left. Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/4Kv6w/15/
It seems there is a bug in WebKit when using a CSS transform to move an input box to the left. When you scale down an input box, it essentially moves the right edge to the left, which is how I was experiencing the problem.
The workaround for me was to position the input box way to the left
left: -2000px;
position: absolute;
and then move it back with the CSS transform.
-webkit-transform: matrix(.5, 0, 0, .5, 2000, 0);
You can see an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/4Kv6w/17/
Hey I'm assuming you're trying to animate the change. You will probably have better results using CSS transitions instead of a transform if that's the case. I've created a fiddle for you to see and try it out for yourself.
jsfiddle
Basically, I have a js event listener listening for when the textbox gets focus. Then I change the width in the js and the transition takes care of the animation. Hopefully this takes care of your issue.
