Recreating MS Windows Phone Tiltin Animation in CSS - css

I am trying to get the "tilt-in" animation working on a little project of mine using CSS animations. Unfortunately I have not been able to port it from the MS Demo where - doubtlessly all the code is there: http://m.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/demo/default.aspx#home
I'm trying to get the tiles to fade in when the page is loaded, just that part. Once is absolutely fine. I understand that I need to define the vendor keyframes, but my attempts have been so poor that I am not pasting them in my example in jsFiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/qCQQD/2/
Anyone out there who'll help me out? That would be beyond awesome!
EDIT 1:
a) I'm still trying to get the rotateRight animation running when the page is loaded. I've probably got a hacky version with leftRotate in the .tile class and that removed (and rightRotate added) on pageload.
b) This
.tile:active {
-webkit-transform: scale(0.97);
-moz-transform: scale(0.97);
-o-transform: scale(0.97);
-ms-transform: scale(0.97);
transform: scale(0.97);
}
got super slow in Chrome because of the code added, how can I get it back to normal?
I suspect it takes some sort of timeframe from the #tile
-webkit-transition: 300ms 160ms;
It looks like a slow motion right now. I'm going to try adding something like -webkit-transition: 50ms to it. (yeah I know, total noob).

Basically like this. You have it set up fairly correctly, but you just need to actually change some settings. Check this jsfiddle DEMO out.
I'm only using javascript to add a class or remove a class. You could simply do that sort of stuff on a :hover tag in css also it would do the same thing.
I mainly just modified your css to include a rotate(90deg) -webkit-transition. Therefore this will only work in chrome and probably safari. If you want it to work in firefox then you'll have to do the -moz-transition for the rotation.

CSS Transitions Behaving Differently on Chrome for iOS Devices

The Problem
I have a web page I'm working on that uses simple fade in and fade out transitions on the page elements when it loads.
They work fine except I seem to run into a problem on Chrome for iOS. Oddly enough, the problem doesn't reproduce on any other browsers, nor does it occur when testing with say BrowserStack. But seems to only occur when using an actual iPhone or iPad in only Chrome.
What occurs is the text fades in and then the opacity goes back to 0 making it disappear again.
Because it only occurs on the actual devices I'm having a tough time tracking down the source of the issue. Obviously I was able to identify the transitions as the source of the problem but so far I have yet to figure out why it's occurring and only on a single browser on the actual devices. I'm unsure of a way to use dev tools straight on a mobile device, usually I would just emulate it in a VM but as I mentioned the problem doesn't occur there. I also don't have a mac so any solution requiring a direct developer interface isn't possible.
Anyone have any ideas as to why I'm experiencing such behavior or any suggestions as to how I could approach this?
Code
Here's the code for how the transitions are handled, they are quite simple:
NOTE: browser prefixes excluded for brevity.
jQuery('.fade-up').one('inview', function() {
jQuery(this).removeClass('no-display');
jQuery(this).addClass('animated fadeInUp appear');
});
And the transitions themselves:
#keyframes fadeInUp {
0% {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(20px);
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
.animated.fadeInUp {
animation-name: fadeInUp;
}

Holo spinner example with images doesn't work while pure CSS does

Related to this question: Android Holo loading spinner in CSS I have noticed that the accepted answer's first example, the one with images, doesn't work on chrome (i just see a static grey ring) while it works on Firefox and IE 11.
Even though the purpose of the question was to make a spinner without images and both are very nice I find the first one slightly better looking (on firefox, that is) and i'd like to use it but I don't know why it doesn't work on chrome and I want to know if there's a fix, both for future references (so i know what to avoid and/or how to fix it) and to know if I must stick to the one without images
My Chrome version is 42.0.2311.90 (32-bit)
Since i assumed both spinners were correct i didn't realize it was missing the webkit-keyframes property. Today i watched once again the css and noticed by chance that the css spinner had it while the image-based spinner didn't. Adding this to the image based spinner css worked
#-webkit-keyframes rotate-outer {
0% {
-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
}
100% {
-webkit-transform: rotate(1080deg);
}
}
#-webkit-keyframes rotate-inner {
0% {
-webkit-transform: rotate(720deg);
}
100% {
-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg);
}
}

Blurry images in Chrome / Firefox 28+

I'm making a website with a lot of css transform (rotate:45deg) but i have few issues with blurry text/images.
I did a jsfiddle with an example.
http://jsfiddle.net/4pjsh/
In Chrome, i added "hardware acceleration" to fix the blink/crappy effect during animations but images and text are now always blurry. I searched and tryed lot of things but can't find a way to have them clean.
In Firefox 27-, it works fine but since mozilla released firefox 28/29, when blocks are animating, images are blurry.At the end of the animation, they come back clean.
Somebody knows how to fix that? if it's possible...
Thanks
I removed all rotates, and "started over". Somehow I got rid of the blur in chrome at least.
http://jsfiddle.net/4pjsh/6/
So right now, I'm only rotating like this:
.gridd .item {
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
}
.gridd .zonelogo img {
-webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
}
.gridd .item .blockMore p { //You don't need to be this specific
-webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg)
}
Sorry, only had time to do the -webkit ones :)

Elements using CSS transitions do not appear on iPad/iPhone until inspected with Safari web inspector

I'm working on a web page that uses a lot of CSS animations (mostly TranslateY) that are triggered at various scroll positions through JQuery. It works great across Webkit, FF, IE, etc. Unfortunately, on iPhone and iPad, some (but not all) of the elements just don't appear. I'm aware of the differences of 'scrolling' on mobile versus desktop and have confirmed that the class being added to fire the animations is actually getting added.
I plugged the iPad into my desktop and have been using Safari's Mobile Web Inspector to poke around... what's really weird is that I have confirmed that the animations are firing and the divs are moving around, they just aren't visible... UNTIL I add a line of style to the div in the inspector. As soon as I start typing anything, literally even just a blank line, the element appears! This has me totally stumped. I've tried adding a z-index but don't know what else to do.
I'm using Safari 6.1.1, the latest version as of this writing. Also, turning off overflow:hidden; on the parent container has helped, but unfortunately, I need overflow:hidden; for this application.
Any help is appreciated, thanks -
This is how I add the class for the animation:
function getTopHeight() {
return (document.body.scrollTop) ?
document.body.scrollTop :
document.documentElement.scrollTop;
}
$(window).scroll(function() {
// Manage animations on scroll on the 'our story' page.
if (getTopHeight() >= 442){
$('.tree-1').addClass('popup-animation');
} ...
And these are some CSS rules I have surrounding that animation:
.tree-1{
transition: all 0.5s;
-webkit-transition: all 0.5s; /* Safari */
-moz-transition: all 0.5s; /* FF */
}
.popup-animation{
-ms-transform: translateY(-330px);
-webkit-transform: translateY(-330px);
-moz-transform: translateY(-330px);
}
Following some of the solutions on this somewhat related SO question, I was able to solve my problem by adding:
-webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
... to the elements being translated.

Is there a way to create a fade-in/fade-out effect using CSS 3 only?

Is there a way to create a fade-in/fade-out effect on mouse over/out respectively that only uses CSS 3?
If there is, would you say that it is a good way to implement such an effect with CSS only or not?
To me, it seems like a presentation only issue so I'm not sure why JavaScript should be involved?
Are you looking for something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/hRuR9/2/ ?
It's pretty simple...
.box{
opacity: 0.0;
-webkit-transition: 0.5s all;
-moz-transition: 0.5s all;
}
.box:hover{
opacity: 1.0;
}
As for whether using it or not is a good idea, it depends on your target audience and which browsers you expect them to use or want to support. Recent versions of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox (and I believe Opera) support it. No idea about recent versions of IE, but you can pretty much forget about the older ones.
