CSS Transitions: Explore Animation Possibilities

Smooth Property Value Transitions

CSS transitions offer a powerful way to animate changes in property values over a specified duration. This allows you to create smooth and dynamic transitions between different states of an element.

Transition Syntax Placement

The placement of the transition syntax in your CSS code can significantly impact the animation's behavior. Placing the transition property before the declaration you want to animate (e.g., transition: all 1s ease;) results in a smooth transition from the current property value to the declared value. Conversely, placing the transition property after the declaration (e.g., color: red; transition: color 1s ease;) triggers the transition when the value is applied to the element.

Animated Examples

Experiment with different transition syntax placements to create various animation effects. Check out these examples:

• Transition before declaration
• Transition after declaration
