   <h2 class="heading settled" data-level="1" id="intro"><span class="secno">1. </span><span class="content">
Introduction</span><a class="self-link" href="#intro"></a></h2>


   <p><em>This section is not normative</em></p>


   <p>CSS Transitions <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3-transitions">[CSS3-TRANSITIONS]</a> provide a way to interpolate
	CSS property values when they change as a result of underlying
	property changes. This provides an easy way to do simple animation,
	but the start and end states of the animation are controlled by the
	existing property values, and transitions provide little control to
	the author on how the animation progresses.</p>


   <p>This proposal introduces defined animations, in which the author can
	specify the changes in CSS properties over time as a set of keyframes.
	Animations are similar to transitions in that they change the
	presentational value of CSS properties over time. The principal difference
	is that while transitions trigger implicitly when property values change,
	animations are explicitly executed when the animation properties are applied.
	Because of this, animations require explicit values for the properties
	being animated. These values are specified using animation keyframes,
	described below.</p>


   <p>Many aspects of the animation can be controlled, including how many times
	the animation iterates, whether or not it alternates between the begin and
	end values, and whether or not the animation should be running or paused.
	An animation can also delay its start time.</p>


   <h2 class="heading settled" data-level="2" id="values"><span class="secno">2. </span><span class="content">
Values</span><a class="self-link" href="#values"></a></h2>


   <p>This specification follows the CSS property definition conventions
	from <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css21">[CSS21]</a>. Value types not defined in this specification are
	defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css21">[CSS21]</a>. Other CSS modules may
	expand the definitions of these value types: for example <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3val">[CSS3VAL]</a>,
	when combined with this module, expands the definition of the
	<a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-values-3/#length-value">&lt;length></a> value type as used in this specification.</p>


   <p>In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
	all properties defined in this specification also accept the ‘initial’
	and ‘inherit’ keyword as their property value. For readability it has
	not been repeated explicitly.</p>


   <h2 class="heading settled" data-level="3" id="animations"><span class="secno">3. </span><span class="content">
Animations</span><a class="self-link" href="#animations"></a></h2>


   <p>CSS Animations affect computed property values. This effect happens by
	adding a specified value to the CSS cascade (<a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3cascade">[CSS3CASCADE]</a>) (at the
	level for CSS Animations) that will produce the correct computed value
	for the current state of the animation. As defined in <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3cascade">[CSS3CASCADE]</a>,
	animations override all normal rules, but are overridden by !important
	rules.</p>


   <p>If at one point in time there are multiple animations specifying behavior
	for the same property, the animation which occurs last in the value
	of <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> will override the other animations at that point.</p>


   <p>An animation does not affect the computed value before the application of
	the animation, before the animation delay has expired, and after the end of
	the animation.</p>


   <p>While running, the animation computes the value of those properties
	it animates. Other values may take precedence over the animated value
	according to the CSS cascade (<a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3cascade">[CSS3CASCADE]</a>).</p>


   <p>The start time of an animation is the time at which the style applying
	the animation and the corresponding @keyframes rule are both resolved.
	If an animation is specified for an element but the corresponding
	@keyframes rule does not yet exist, the animation cannot start; the
	animation will start from the beginning as soon as a matching @keyframes
	rule can be resolved. An animation specified by dynamically modifying the
	element’s style will start when this style is resolved; that may be
	immediately in the case of a pseudo style rule such as hover, or may be
	when the scripting engine returns control to the browser (in the case of
	style applied by script). Note that dynamically updating keyframe style
	rules does not start or restart an animation.</p>


   <p>An animation applies to an element if its name appears as one of the
	identifiers in the computed value of the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> property and the
	animation uses a valid @keyframes rule. Once an
	animation has started it continues until it ends or the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> is
	removed. Changing the values of animation properties while the animation
	is running has no effect on the amount of time that has elapsed since the
	animation started running i.e. once the animation is running, updates to
	<a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-delay">animation-delay</a> have no effect. The remainder of the animation runs
	according to the new animation property values.</p>


   <p>Note also that changing the value
	of <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> does not necessarily restart an animation (e.g., if a list
	of animations are applied and one is removed from the list, only that animation
	will stop; The other animations will continue). In order to restart an animation,
	it must be removed then reapplied.</p>


   <p>The end of the animation is defined by the combination of the
	<a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-duration">animation-duration</a>, <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-iteration-count">animation-iteration-count</a> and <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-fill-mode">animation-fill-mode</a>
	properties.</p>


   <div class="example">

    <pre>div {
  animation-name: diagonal-slide;
  animation-duration: 5s;
  animation-iteration-count: 10;
}

@keyframes diagonal-slide {

  from {
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
  }

  to {
    left: 100px;
    top: 100px;
  }

}
</pre>
    

    <p>This will produce an animation that moves an element from (0, 0) to
		(100px, 100px) over five seconds and repeats itself nine times
		(for a total of ten iterations).</p>
    

   </div>


   <p>Setting the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visuren.html#propdef-display">display</a> property to <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-display-3/#valdef-display-none">none</a> will terminate any running animation applied
	to the element and its descendants. If an element has a <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visuren.html#propdef-display">display</a> of <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-display-3/#valdef-display-none">none</a>, updating
	<a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visuren.html#propdef-display">display</a> to a value other than <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-display-3/#valdef-display-none">none</a> will start all animations applied to the element
	by the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> property, as well as all animations applied to descendants
	with <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visuren.html#propdef-display">display</a> other than <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-display-3/#valdef-display-none">none</a>.</p>


   <p>While authors can use animations to create dynamically changing content, dynamically
	changing content can lead to seizures in some users. For information on how to avoid
	content that can lead to seizures, see Guideline 2.3: Seizures: Do not design content
	in a way that is known to cause seizures (<a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-wcag20">[WCAG20]</a>).</p>


   <p>Implementations may ignore animations when the rendering medium is not interactive e.g. when printed.
	A future version of this specification may define how to render animations for these media.</p>


   <h2 class="heading settled" data-level="4" id="keyframes"><span class="secno">4. </span><span class="content">
Keyframes</span><a class="self-link" href="#keyframes"></a></h2>


   <p>Keyframes are used to specify the values for the animating properties at various points
	during the animation. The keyframes specify the behavior of one cycle of the animation;
	the animation may iterate one or more times.</p>


   <p>Keyframes are specified using a specialized CSS at-rule. A <dfn class="css" data-dfn-type="at-rule" data-export="" id="at-ruledef-keyframes">@keyframes<a class="self-link" href="#at-ruledef-keyframes"></a></dfn> rule consists of the
	keyword "@keyframes", followed by an identifier giving a name for the animation (which will
	be referenced using <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a>), followed by a set of style rules (delimited by curly
	braces).</p>


   <p>The keyframe selector for a keyframe style rule consists of a comma-separated list of
	percentage values or the keywords <span class="css">from</span> or <span class="css">to</span>. The selector is used to specify the
	percentage along the duration of the animation that the keyframe represents. The keyframe
	itself is specified by the block of property values declared on the selector. The keyword
	<span class="css">from</span> is equivalent to the value <span class="css">0%</span>. The keyword <span class="css">to</span> is equivalent to the value <span class="css">100%</span>.
	<span class="note" role="note">Note that the percentage unit specifier must be used on percentage values.
	Therefore, <span class="css">0</span> is an invalid keyframe selector.</span></p>


   <p>If a <span class="css">0%</span> or <span class="css">from</span> keyframe is not specified, then the user agent constructs a <span class="css">0%</span> keyframe
	using the computed values of the properties being animated. If a <span class="css">100%</span> or <span class="css">to</span> keyframe is not
	specified, then the user agent constructs a <span class="css">100%</span> keyframe using the computed values of the
	properties being animated. If a keyframe selector specifies negative percentage values or values
	higher than <span class="css">100%</span>, then the keyframe will be ignored.</p>


   <p>The keyframe declaration block for a keyframe rule consists of properties and values. The properties
	defined by this specification are ignored in these rules, with the exception of
	<a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-timing-function">animation-timing-function</a>, the behavior of which is described below. In addition, keyframe rule
	declarations qualified with !important are ignored.</p>


   <p>The @keyframes rule that is used by an animation will be the last one encountered in sorted rules
	order that matches the name of the animation specified by the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> property.</p>

	
   <div class="example">
		
    <pre>div {
  animation-name: slide-right;
  animation-duration: 2s;
}

@keyframes slide-right {

  from {
    margin-left: 0px;
  }

  50% {
    margin-left: 110px;
    opacity: 1;
  }

  50% {
     opacity: 0.9;
  }

  to {
    margin-left: 200px;
  }

}
</pre>
    

    <p>At the 1s mark, the slide-right animation will have the same state as if we had defined the 50% rule like this:</p>
    

    <pre>@keyframes slide-right {

  50% {
    margin-left: 110px;
    opacity: 0.9;
  }

  to {
    margin-left: 200px;
  }

}
</pre>
    

   </div>


   <p>To determine the set of keyframes, all of the values in the selectors are sorted in increasing order
	by time. The rules within the @keyframes rule then cascade; the properties of a keyframe may thus derive
	from more than one @keyframes rule with the same selector value.</p>


   <p>If a property is not specified for a keyframe, or is specified but invalid, the animation of that
	property proceeds as if that keyframe did not exist. Conceptually, it is as if a set of keyframes is
	constructed for each property that is present in any of the keyframes, and an animation is run
	independently for each property.</p>

	
   <div class="example">
		
    <pre>@keyframes wobble {
  0% {
    left: 100px;
  }

  40% {
    left: 150px;
  }

  60% {
    left: 75px;
  }

  100% {
    left: 100px;
  }
}
</pre>
    

    <p>Four keyframes are specified for the animation named "wobble". In the first keyframe,
		shown at the beginning of the animation cycle, the value of the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position-3/#propdef-left">left</a> property being
		animated is <span class="css">100px</span>. By 40% of the animation duration, <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position-3/#propdef-left">left</a> has animated to <span class="css">150px</span>.
		At 60% of the animation duration, <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position-3/#propdef-left">left</a> has animated back to <span class="css">75px</span>. At the end of the
		animation cycle, the value of <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-position-3/#propdef-left">left</a> has returned to <span class="css">100px</span>. The diagram below shows
		the state of the animation if it were given a duration of <span class="css">10s</span>.</p>

     <figcaption>Animation states specified by keyframes</figcaption>

   </div>


   <p>The following is the grammar for the keyframes rule:</p>

	
   <pre>keyframes_rule: KEYFRAMES_SYM S+ IDENT S* '{' S* keyframes_blocks '}' S*;

keyframes_blocks: [ keyframe_selector '{' S* declaration? [ ';' S* declaration? ]* '}' S* ]* ;

keyframe_selector: [ FROM_SYM | TO_SYM | PERCENTAGE ] S* [ ',' S* [ FROM_SYM | TO_SYM | PERCENTAGE ] S* ]*;

@{K}{E}{Y}{F}{R}{A}{M}{E}{S}   {return KEYFRAMES_SYM;}
{F}{R}{O}{M}                   {return FROM_SYM;}
{T}{O}                         {return TO_SYM;}
</pre>


   <h3 class="heading settled" data-level="4.1" id="timing-functions"><span class="secno">4.1. </span><span class="content">
Timing functions for keyframes</span><a class="self-link" href="#timing-functions"></a></h3>


   <p>A keyframe style rule may also declare the timing function that is to be used as the animation
	moves to the next keyframe.</p>

	
   <div class="example">
		
    <pre>@keyframes bounce {

  from {
    top: 100px;
    animation-timing-function: ease-out;
  }

  25% {
    top: 50px;
    animation-timing-function: ease-in;
  }

  50% {
    top: 100px;
    animation-timing-function: ease-out;
  }

  75% {
    top: 75px;
    animation-timing-function: ease-in;
  }

  to {
    top: 100px;
  }

}
</pre>
    

    <p>Five keyframes are specified for the animation named "bounce". Between the first and second
		keyframe (i.e., between 0% and 25%) an ease-out timing function is used. Between the second
		and third keyframe (i.e., between 25% and 50%) an ease-in timing function is used. And so on.
		The effect will appear as an element that moves up the page 50px, slowing down as it reaches
		its highest point then speeding up as it falls back to 100px. The second half of the animation
		behaves in a similar manner, but only moves the element 25px up the page.</p>
    
	
   </div>


   <p>A timing function specified on the <span class="css">to</span> or <span class="css">100%</span> keyframe is ignored.</p>


   <p>See the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-timing-function">animation-timing-function</a> property for more information.</p>


   <h3 class="heading settled" data-level="4.2" id="animation-name"><span class="secno">4.2. </span><span class="content">
The <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> property</span><a class="self-link" href="#animation-name"></a></h3>


   <p>The <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> property defines a list of animations that apply. Each name is used to select
	 the keyframe at-rule that provides the property values for the animation. If the name does not match
	 any keyframe at-rule, there are no properties to be animated and the animation will not execute.
	 Furthermore, if the animation name is <code>none</code> then there will be no animation. This can be
	 used to override any animations coming from the cascade. If multiple animations are attempting to
	 modify the same property, then the animation closest to the end of the list of names wins.</p>


   <p>Each animation listed by name should have a corresponding value for the other animation properties
	listed below. If the lists of values for the other animation properties do not have the same length,
	the length of the <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a> list determines the number of items in each list examined when
	starting animations. The lists are matched up from the first value: excess values at the end are not
	used. If one of the other properties doesn’t have enough comma-separated values to match the number of
	values of <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a>, the UA must calculate its used value by repeating the list of values until
	there are enough. This truncation or repetition does not affect the computed value.</p>


   <p class="note" role="note">Note: This is analogous to the behavior of the ‘background-*’properties, with ‘background-image’ analogous
	to <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-name">animation-name</a>.</p>

	are identical to those of <a class="production css" data-link-type="type" href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-transitions-1/#single-transition-timing-function">&lt;single-transition-timing-function></a> <a data-link-type="biblio" href="#biblio-css3-transitions">[CSS3-TRANSITIONS]</a>.</p>


   <p>The timing function specified applies to each iteration of the animation,
	not the entire animation in full.
	For example, if an animation has <a class="css" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-timing-function">animation-timing-function: ease-in-out; animation-iteration-count: 2;</a>,
	it will ease in at the start,
	ease out as it approaches the end of its first iteration,
	ease in at the start of its second iteration,
	and ease out again as it approaches the end of the animation.</p>


   <p>When specified in a keyframe, <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-timing-function">animation-timing-function</a> defines the progression of the
	animation between the current keyframe and the next keyframe that defines <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-timing-function">animation-timing-function</a>
	in sorted keyframe selector order (or the end of the animation if no other keyframe specifies 
	'animation-timing function'). The specified timing function will apply over this interval independently 
	of the animation’s current direction.</p>

The <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-iteration-count">animation-iteration-count</a> property</span><a class="self-link" href="#animation-iteration-count"></a></h3>


   <p>The <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-iteration-count">animation-iteration-count</a> property specifies the number of times an animation cycle
	is played. The initial value is <span class="css">1</span>, meaning the animation will play from beginning to end
	once. This property is often used in conjunction with an
	<a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-direction">animation-direction</a> value of <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#valdef-animation-direction-alternate">alternate</a>, which will cause the animation to play in
	reverse on alternate cycles.</p>


   <p>The time window during which the animation is active
	(<code>duration</code> x <code>iteration-count</code>)
	is known as the <dfn data-dfn-type="dfn" data-noexport="" id="active-duration">active duration<a class="self-link" href="#active-duration"></a></dfn>.</p>

     <p>A value of <span class="css">0</span> is valid and, similar to an <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-duration">animation-duration</a>

   <p>If the animation has a duration of <span class="css">0s</span>, it will occur instantaneously for any
	valid value of <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-iteration-count">animation-iteration-count</a>, including <a class="css" data-link-type="maybe" href="#valdef-animation-iteration-count-infinite">infinite</a>.</p>

   <p>The <a class="property" data-link-type="propdesc" href="#propdef-animation-direction">animation-direction</a> property defines whether or not the animation should play in reverse
	on some or all cycles. When an animation is played in reverse the timing functions are also
