<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id=abstract> Abstract</h2>
<p> This CSS module describes a way for authors to animate the values of
CSS properties over time, using keyframes. The behavior of these keyframe
animations can be controlled by specifying their duration, number of
repeats, and repeating behavior.

<h2 id=introduction><span class=secno>1. </span> Introduction</h2>
<p><em>This section is not normative.</em>
<p> CSS Transitions <a
href="#ref-CSS3-TRANSITIONS">[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> This proposal introduces <dfn id=defined-animations>defined
animations</dfn>, 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
<em>implicitly</em> when property values change, animations are
<em>explicitly</em> 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> 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.
<h2 id=values><span class=secno>2. </span> Values</h2>
<p> This specification follows the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">CSS property
definition conventions</a> from <a
href="#ref-CSS21">[CSS21]<!--{{!CSS21}}--></a>. Value types not defined in
this specification are defined in CSS Level 2 Revision 1 <a
href="#ref-CSS21">[CSS21]<!--{{!CSS21}}--></a>. Other CSS modules may
expand the definitions of these value types: for example <a
href="#ref-CSS3VAL">[CSS3VAL]<!--{{CSS3VAL}}--></a>, when combined with
this module, expands the definition of the <var><length></var> value
type as used in this specification.
<p>In addition to the property-specific values listed in their definitions,
all properties defined in this specification also accept the <a
href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values/#common-keywords">‘<code
class=css>initial</code>’</a> and <a
href="http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values/#common-keywords">‘<code
class=css>inherit</code>’</a> keyword as their property value. For
readability it has not been repeated explicitly.
<h2 id=animations><span class=secno>3. </span> Animations</h2>
<p> CSS Animations affect computed property values. This effect happens by
adding a specified value to the CSS cascade (<a
href="#ref-CSS3CASCADE">[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
href="#ref-CSS3CASCADE">[CSS3CASCADE]<!--{{CSS3CASCADE}}--></a>,
animations override all normal rules, but are overridden by !important
rules.
<p> If at one point in time there are multiple animations specifying
behavior for the same property, the animation whose name occurs last in
the value of ‘<a href="#animation-name"><code
class=property>animation-name</code></a>’ will override the other
animations at that point.
<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.
<div class=figure> <img alt="" src=sandwich.png>
<p class=caption> Computation of animated property values
</div>
<p> The diagram above shows how property values are computed. The intrinsic
style is shown at the top of the diagram. The computed value is derived
from intrinsic style at the times when an animation is not running and
also when an animation is delayed (see below for specification of
animation delay). During an animation, the computed style is derived from
the animated value.
<p> The start time of an animation is the latter of two moments: the time
at which the style is resolved that specifies the animation, or the time
the document's load event is fired. Therefore, an animation specified in
the document style sheet will begin at the document load. An animation
specified on an element by modifying the style after the document has
loaded will start when the 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).
<p> An animation applies to an element if its name appears as one of the
identifiers in the computed value of the ‘<a
href="#animation-name"><code class=property>animation-name</code></a>’
property. Once an animation has started it continues until it ends or the
‘<a href="#animation-name"><code
class=property>animation-name</code></a>’ is removed. The values used
for the keyframes and <a href="#animation-properties">animation
properties</a> are snapshotted at the time the animation starts. Changing
them during the execution of the animation has no effect. Note also that
changing the value of ‘<a href="#animation-name"><code
class=property>animation-name</code></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> The end of the animation is defined by the combination of the ‘<a
href="#animation-duration"><code
class=property>animation-duration</code></a>’, ‘<a
href="#animation-iteration-count"><code
class=property>animation-iteration-count</code></a>’ and ‘<a
href="#animation-fill-mode"><code
class=property>animation-fill-mode</code></a>’ properties.
<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).
</div>
<p> Setting the display property to ‘<code class=property>none</code>’
will terminate any running animation applied to the element and its
descendants. If an element has a display of ‘<code
class=property>none</code>’, updating display to a value other than
‘<code class=property>none</code>’ will start all animations applied
to the element by the ‘<a href="#animation-name"><code
class=property>animation-name</code></a>’ property, as well as all
animations applied to descendants with display other than ‘<code
class=property>none</code>’.
<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 <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#seizure">Guideline 2.3: Seizures: Do
not design content in a way that is known to cause seizures</a> (<a
href="#ref-WCAG20">[WCAG20]<!--{{WCAG20}}--></a>).
<h2 id=keyframes><span class=secno>4. </span> Keyframes</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> Keyframes are specified using a specialized CSS at-rule. A @keyframes
rule consists of the keyword "@keyframes", followed by an identifier
giving a name for the animation (which will be referenced using ‘<a
href="#animation-name"><code class=property>animation-name</code></a>’),
followed by a set of style rules (delimited by curly braces).
<p> The <dfn id=keyframe-selector>keyframe selector</dfn> for a keyframe
style rule consists of a comma-separated list of percentage values or the
keywords ‘<code class=property>from</code>’ or ‘<code
class=property>to</code>’. 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 ‘<code
class=property>from</code>’ is equivalent to the value ‘<code
class=css>0%</code>’. The keyword ‘<code class=property>to</code>’
is equivalent to the value ‘<code class=css>100%</code>’. <span
class=note>Note that the percentage unit specifier must be used on
percentage values. Therefore, ‘<code class=css>0</code>’ is an invalid
keyframe selector.</span>
<p> If a ‘<code class=css>0%</code>’ or ‘<code
class=css>from</code>’ keyframe is not specified, then the user agent
constructs a ‘<code class=css>0%</code>’ keyframe using the computed
values of the properties being animated. If a ‘<code
class=css>100%</code>’ or ‘<code class=css>to</code>’ keyframe is
not specified, then the user agent constructs a ‘<code
class=css>100%</code>’ keyframe using the computed values of the
properties being animated. If a keyframe selector specifies negative
percentage values or values higher than 100%, then the keyframe will be
ignored.
<p> The <dfn id=keyframe-declaration-block>keyframe declaration block</dfn>
for a keyframe rule consists of properties and values. Properties that are
unable to be animated are ignored in these rules, with the exception of
‘<a href="#animation-timing-function"><code
class=property>animation-timing-function</code></a>’, the behavior of
which is described below. In addition, keyframe rule declarations
qualified with !important are ignored.
<p class=issue> Need to describe what happens if a property is not present
in all keyframes.
<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 href="#animation-name"><code
class=property>animation-name</code></a>’ property. @keyframes rules do
not cascade; therefore, an animation will never derive keyframes from more
than one @keyframes rule.
<p class=note> Note that since empty @keyframes rule are valid, they may
hide the keyframes of those preceding animation definitions with a
matching name.
<p> To determine the set of keyframes, all of the values in the selectors
are sorted in increasing order by time. If there are any duplicates, then
the last keyframe specified inside the @keyframes rule will be used to
provide the keyframe information for that time. There is no cascading
within a @keyframes rule if multiple keyframes specify the same keyframe
selector values.
<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.
<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 ‘<code class=property>left</code>’ property being animated is
‘<code class=css>100px</code>’. By 40% of the animation duration,
‘<code class=property>left</code>’ has animated to ‘<code
class=css>150px</code>’. At 60% of the animation duration, ‘<code
class=property>left</code>’ has animated back to ‘<code
class=css>75px</code>’. At the end of the animation cycle, the value of
‘<code class=property>left</code>’ has returned to ‘<code
class=css>100px</code>’. The diagram below shows the state of the
animation if it were given a duration of ‘<code
class=css>10s</code>’.
<div class=figure> <img alt="" src=animation1.png>
<p class=caption> Animations states specified by keyframes
</div>
</div>
<p> The following is the grammar for the keyframes rule.
<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 id=timing-functions><span class=secno>4.1. </span> Timing functions for
keyframes</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.
<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 ‘<code
class=css>ease-out</code>’ timing function is used. Between the second
and third keyframe (i.e., between 25% and 50%) an ‘<code
class=css>ease-in</code>’ timing function is used. And so on. The
effect will appear as an element that moves up the page ‘<code
class=css>50px</code>’, slowing down as it reaches its highest point
then speeding up as it falls back to ‘<code class=css>100px</code>’.
The second half of the animation behaves in a similar manner, but only
moves the element ‘<code class=css>25px</code>’ up the page.
</div>
<p> A timing function specified on the "to" or 100% keyframe is ignored.
<p> See the ‘<a href="#animation-timing-function"><code
class=property>animation-timing-function</code></a>’ property for more
information.
<h3 id=animation-name-property><span class=secno>4.2. </span> The ‘<a
href="#animation-name"><code class=property>animation-name</code></a>’
Property</h3>
<p> The ‘<a href="#animation-name"><code
class=property>animation-name</code></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
class=css>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 id=list-matching> Each animation listed by name should have a
corresponding value for the other <a
href="#animation-properties">animation properties</a> listed below. If the
lists of values for the other <a href="#animation-properties">animation
properties</a> do not have the same length, the length of the ‘<a
href="#animation-name"><code class=property>animation-name</code></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
href="#animation-name"><code class=property>animation-name</code></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. <span class=note>Note: This is analogous to the behavior
of the ‘<code class=css>background-*</code>’properties, with ‘<code
class=property>background-image</code>’ analogous to ‘<a
href="#animation-name"><code
class=property>animation-name</code></a>’.</span>

<!--
<p>
It is possible for elements to have multiple animations running that change the same property or properties. In this case the animations combine in a manner defined by the property. For example, animations on 'opacity' will add together and animations on 'transform' will have their transformation matrices multiplied.
<div class="example">
<p style="display:none">
Example(s):
<pre>
@keyframes 'border-bloat' {
from {
border-width: 0;
}
to {
border-width: 10px;
}
}
@keyframes 'border-diet' {
from {
border-width: 4px;
}
to {
border-width: 2px;
}
}
div {
animation-name: 'border-bloat', 'border-diet';
animation-duration: 10s, 4s;
}
</pre>
<p>
The above example has two animations executing on the same property, 'border-width'. The animations are additive. That is, the
resulting value for the property will be the addition of the values from the
two animations.
<p>
At time '0s' the element's border will be 4px wide (0px from 'border-bloat' plus 4px from 'border-diet').
At time '4s' the element's border will be 6px wide (4px from 'border-bloat' plus 2px from 'border-diet').
At time '10s' the element's border will be 10px wide (10px from 'border-bloat' and no addition from
'border-diet' as it is no longer executing).

animation takes no time. When the duration is ‘<code

animation that fills backwards will show the value of the 0% keyframe
during any delay period, and an animation that fills forwards will retain
the value specified at the 100% keyframe, even if the animation was
instantaneous. Also, animation events are still fired. A negative ‘<a
href="#animation-duration"><code
class=property>animation-duration</code></a>’ value renders the
declaration invalid.

The ‘<a href="#animation-timing-function"><code
class=property>animation-timing-function</code></a>’ Property</h3>
<p> The ‘<a href="#animation-timing-function"><code
class=property>animation-timing-function</code></a>’ property describes
how the animation will progress over one cycle of its duration. See the
‘<code class=property>transition-timing-function</code>’ property <a
href="#ref-CSS3-TRANSITIONS">[CSS3-TRANSITIONS]<!--{{!CSS3-TRANSITIONS}}--></a>
for a complete description of timing function calculation.

<p>All the valid values of ‘<code
class=css><single-timing-function></code>’ are defined by the
‘<code class=property>transition-timing-function</code>’ property <a
href="#ref-CSS3-TRANSITIONS">[CSS3-TRANSITIONS]<!--{{!CSS3-TRANSITIONS}}--></a>.
<p> For a keyframed animation, the ‘<a
href="#animation-timing-function"><code
class=property>animation-timing-function</code></a>’ applies between
keyframes, not over the entire animation. For example, in the case of an
‘<code class=css>ease-in-out</code>’ timing function, an animation
will ease in at the start of the keyframe and ease out at the end of the
keyframe. An ‘<a href="#animation-timing-function"><code
class=property>animation-timing-function</code></a>’ defined within a
keyframe block applies to that keyframe, otherwise the timing function
specified for the animation is used. In addition, only the first value of
the property applies when it is used in a keyframe block.

The ‘<a href="#animation-iteration-count"><code
class=property>animation-iteration-count</code></a>’ Property</h3>
<p> The ‘<a href="#animation-iteration-count"><code
class=property>animation-iteration-count</code></a>’ property specifies
the number of times an animation cycle is played. The initial value is
‘<code class=css>1</code>’, meaning the animation will play from
beginning to end once. A value of ‘<code class=css>infinite</code>’
will cause the animation to repeat forever. Non-integer numbers will cause
the animation to end part-way through a cycle. Negative values of ‘<a
