 <h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>

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

       <p>

         This document introduces new CSS features to enable <em>implicit transitions</em>, which describe how CSS properties can be made to change smoothly from one value to another over a given duration.

       </p>

 <h2 id="transitions"><span id="transitions-">Transitions</span></h2>

       <p>

         Normally when the value of a CSS property changes, the rendered result is instantly updated, with the affected elements immediately changing from the old property value to the new property value. This section describes a way to specify transitions using new CSS properties. These properties are used to animate smoothly from the old state to the new state over time.

       </p>

       <p>

         For example, suppose that transitions of one second have been defined on the 'left' and

         'background-color' properties. The following diagram illustrates the effect of updating those properties on an element, in this case moving it to the right and changing the background from red to blue. This assumes other transition parameters still have their default values.

       </p>

       <div class="figure">

         <img src="transition1.png" alt="">

       </div>

       <p class="caption">

         Transitions of 'left' and 'background-color'

       </p>

       <p>

         Transitions are a presentational effect. The computed value of a property transitions over time from the old value to the new value. Therefore if a script queries the computed style of a property as it is transitioning, it will see an intermediate value that represents the current animated value of the property.

       </p>

       <p>

         Only animatable CSS properties can be transitioned. See the table at the end of this document for a list

         of properties that are animatable.

       </p>

       <p>

         The transition for a property is defined using a number of new properties. For example:

       </p>

       <div class="example">

         <p style="display:none">

           Example(s):

         </p>

         <pre>

   div {

     transition-property: opacity;

     transition-duration: 2s;

   }

   </pre>The above example defines a transition on the 'opacity' property that, when a new value is assigned to it, will cause a smooth change between the old value and the new value over a period of two seconds.

       </div>

       <p>

         Each of the transition properties accepts a comma-separated list, allowing multiple transitions to be defined, each acting on a different property. In this case, the individual transitions take their parameters from the same index in all the lists. For example:

       </p>

       <div class="example">

         <p style="display:none">

           Example(s):

         </p>

         <pre>

   div {

     transition-property: opacity, left;

     transition-duration: 2s, 4s;

   }

   </pre>This will cause the 'opacity' property to transition over a period of two seconds and the left property to transition over a period of four seconds.

       </div>

       <p id="list-matching">

         In the case where the lists of values in transition properties

         do not have the same length, the length of the

         'transition-property' list determines the number of items in

         each list examined when starting transitions.  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

         'transition-property', 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 'background-*'

           properties, with 'background-image' analogous to

           'transition-property'.

         </span>

       </p>

       <div class="example">

         <p style="display:none">

           Example(s):

         </p>

       <pre>

       div {

         transition-property: opacity, left, top, width;

         transition-duration: 2s, 1s;

       }

       </pre>The above example defines a transition on the 'opacity' property of 2 seconds duration, a

       transition on the 'left' property of 1

       second duration, a transition on the 'top' property of 2 seconds duration and a

       transition on the 'width' property of 1

       second duration.

       </div>

       <p>

         While authors can use transitions to create dynamically changing content,

         dynamically changing content can lead to seizures in some users.

       <p>

         A value of

         <dfn value for="transition-property">none</dfn>

         means that no property will transition.

         Otherwise, a list of properties to be transitioned, or the

         keyword <dfn value for="transition-property">all</dfn>

         which indicates that all properties are to be

         transitioned, is given.

       </p>

       <p>

         If one of the identifiers listed is not a recognized property

         name or is not an animatable property, the implementation must

         still start transitions on the animatable properties in the

         list using the duration, delay, and timing function at their

         respective indices in the lists for 'transition-duration',

         'transition-delay', and 'transition-timing-function'.  In other

         words, unrecognized or non-animatable properties must be kept in

         the list to preserve the matching of indices.

       </p>

       <p>

         The <<custom-ident>> production in <<single-transition-property>>

         also excludes the keyword ''none'',

         in addition to the keywords always excluded from <<custom-ident>>.

         This means that ''none'', ''inherit'', and ''initial'' are not

         permitted as items within a list of more that one identifier;

         any list that uses them is syntactically invalid.

       </p>

       <p>

         For the keyword ''all'', or if one of the identifiers listed is a

         shorthand property, implementations must start transitions for

         any of its longhand sub-properties that are animatable (or, for

         ''all'', all animatable properties), using the duration, delay,

         and timing function at the index corresponding to the shorthand.

       </p>

       <p>

         If a property is specified multiple times in the value of

         'transition-property' (either on its own, via a shorthand that

         contains it, or via the ''all'' value), then the transition that

         starts uses the duration, delay, and timing function at the

         index corresponding to the <em>last</em> item in the value of

         'transition-property' that calls for animating that property.

       </p>

       <p class="note">

         Note:  The ''all'' value and 'all' shorthand

         property work in similar ways, so the

         ''all'' value is just like a shorthand that

         covers all properties.

         This property specifies how long the transition from the old value to the new value should take. By default the value is ''0s'', meaning that the transition is immediate (i.e. there will be no animation). A negative value for 'transition-duration' renders the declaration invalid.

         The 'transition-timing-function' Property

       </span></h3>

       <p>

         The 'transition-timing-function' property

         describes how the intermediate values used during a transition will be

         calculated. It allows for a transition to change speed over its

         duration. These effects are commonly called <em>easing</em> functions.

         In either case, a mathematical function that provides a smooth curve is

         used.

       </p>

       <p>

         Timing functions are either defined as a stepping function or

         a <a

         href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Cubic_B.C3.A9zier_curves">cubic

         B&eacute;zier curve</a>.

         The timing function takes as its input

         the current elapsed percentage of the transition duration

         and outputs the percentage of the way the transition is

         from its start value to its end value.

         How this output is used is defined by

         the <a href="#animatable-types">interpolation rules</a>

         for the value type.

       </p>

       <p>

         A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_function">stepping</a>

         function is defined by a number that divides the domain of operation

         into equally sized intervals. Each subsequent interval is a equal step

         closer to the goal state. The function also specifies whether the

         change in output percentage happens at the start or end of the

         interval (in other words, if 0% on the input percentage is the point

         of initial change).

         The 'transition-delay' Property

       </span></h3>

       <p>

         The 'transition-delay' property defines when the transition will start. It allows a transition to begin execution some some period of time from when it is applied. A 'transition-delay' value of ''0s'' means the transition will execute as soon as the property is changed. Otherwise, the value specifies an offset from the moment the property is changed, and the transition will delay execution by that offset.

       </p>

       <p>

         If the value for 'transition-delay' is a negative time offset then the transition will execute the moment the property is changed, but will appear to have begun execution at the specified offset. That is, the transition will appear to begin part-way through its play cycle. In the case where a transition has implied starting values and a negative 'transition-delay', the starting values are taken from the moment the property is changed.

         <dfn>end value</dfn>, <dfn>reversing-adjusted start value</dfn>,

         and <dfn>reversing shortening factor</dfn>.

         Transitions are added to this set as described in this section,

         and are removed from this set

         when they <a>complete</a>

         or when implementations are required to <dfn>cancel</dfn> them.

       </p>

       <p>

         Various things can cause the computed style of an element to change,

         or for an element to start or stop having computed style.

         (For the purposes of this specification,

         an element has computed style when it is in the document tree,

         and does not have computed style when it is not in the document tree.)

         These include

         insertion and removal of elements from the document tree

         (which both changes whether those elements have computed styles and

         can change the styles of other elements through selector matching),

         changes to the document tree that cause

         changes to which selectors match elements,

         changes to style sheets or style attributes,

         and other things.

         This specification does not define when computed styles are updated.

         However,

         when an implementation updates the computed style for an element

         to reflect one of these changes,

         it must update the computed style for all elements to reflect all

         of these changes at the same time

         (or at least it must be undetectable that it was done at a

         different time).

         This processing of a set of simultaneous style changes is called a

         <dfn>style change event</dfn>.

         (Implementations typically have a <a>style change event</a> to

         correspond with their desired screen refresh rate,

         and when up-to-date computed style is needed

         for a script API that depends on it.)

       </p>

       <p>

         Since this specification does not define

         when a <a>style change event</a> occurs,

         and thus what changes to computed values are considered simultaneous,

         authors should be aware that changing any of the transition

         properties a small amount of time after making a change that

         might transition can result in behavior that varies between

         implementations, since the changes might be considered

         simultaneous in some implementations but not others.

       </p>

       <p>

         When a <a>style change event</a> occurs,

         implementations must start transitions based on

         the computed styles that changed in that event.

         If an element does not have a computed style

         either before or after the style change event,

         then transitions are not started for that element

         in that style change event.

         Otherwise,

         define the <dfn>before-change style</dfn> as

         the computed style for the element as of

         the previous <a>style change event</a>,

         except with any styles derived from declarative

         animations such as CSS Transitions, CSS Animations

         ([[CSS3-ANIMATIONS]]),

         and SMIL Animations ([[SMIL-ANIMATION]], [[SVG11]])

         updated to the current time.

         Likewise, define the <dfn>after-change style</dfn> as

         the computed style for the element based on the information

         known at the start of that <a>style change event</a>,

         but excluding any styles from CSS Transitions in the computation,

         and inheriting from

         the <a>after-change style</a> of the parent.

       </p>

       <div class="note">

         <p>

           Note that this definition of the <a>after-change style</a>

           means that a single change

           can start a transition on the same property

           on both an ancestor element and its descendant element.

           This can happen when a property change is inherited

           from one element with 'transition-*' properties

           that say to animate the changing property

           to another element with 'transition-*' properties

           that also say to animate the changing property.

         </p>

         <p>

           When this happens, both transitions will run,

           and the transition on the descendant will override

           the transition on the ancestor

           because of the normal

           CSS cascading and inheritance rules ([[CSS3CASCADE]]).

         </p>

         <p>

           If the transition on the descendant completes before

           the transition on the ancestor,

           the descendant will then resume inheriting

           the (still transitioning) value from its parent.

           This effect is likely not a desirable effect,

           but it is essentially doing what the author asked for.

       <div class="note">

         <p>

           Note that the above rules mean that

           when the computed value of an animatable property changes,

           the transitions that start are based on the

           values of the 'transition-property', 'transition-duration',

           'transition-timing-function', and 'transition-delay' properties

           at the time the animatable property would first have its new

           computed value.

           This means that when one of these 'transition-*' properties

           changes at the same time as

           a property whose change might transition,

           it is the <em>new</em> values of the 'transition-*' properties

           that control the transition.

             Example(s):

           </p>

           <p>This provides a way for authors to specify different values

           of the 'transition-*' properties for the “forward”

           and &ldquo;reverse&rdquo; transitions (but see <a

           href="#reversing">below</a> for special reversing behavior when

           an <em>incomplete</em> transition is interrupted).  Authors can

           specify the value of 'transition-duration',

           'transition-timing-function', or 'transition-delay' in the same

           rule where they specify the value that triggers the transition,

           or can change these properties at the same time as they change

           the property that triggers the transition.  Since it's the new

           values of these 'transition-*' properties that affect the

           transition, these values will be used for the transitions

           <em>to</em> the associated transitioning values.  For example:

            </p>

           <pre>li {

     transition: background-color linear 1s;

     background: blue;

   }

   li:hover {

     background-color: green;

     transition-duration: 2s; /* applies to the transition *to* the :hover state */

   }</pre>

           <p>

             When a list item with these style rules enters the :hover

             state, the computed 'transition-duration' at the time that

             'background-color' would have its new value (''green'') is ''2s'',

             so the transition from ''blue'' to ''green'' takes 2 seconds.

             However, when the list item leaves the :hover state, the

             transition from ''green'' to ''blue'' takes 1 second.

           </p>

         </div>

       </div>

       <p class="note">

         Note that once the transition of a property has started,

         it continues running based on

         the original timing function, duration, and

         delay, even if the 'transition-timing-function',

         'transition-duration', or 'transition-delay' property changes

         before the transition is complete.  However, if the

         'transition-property' property changes such that the transition

         would not have started, the transition stops (and the

         property immediately changes to its final value).

       </p>

       <p class="note">

         Note that above rules mean that

         transitions do not start when the computed

         value of a property changes as a result of declarative animation

         (as opposed to scripted animation).

         This happens because the before-change style includes up-to-date

         style for declarative animations.

         Faster reversing of interrupted transitions

       </h3>

       <div class="note">

       <p>

         Many common transitions effects involve transitions between two states,

         such as the transition that occurs when the mouse pointer moves

         over a user interface element, and then later moves out of that element.

         With these effects, it is common for a running transition

         to be interrupted before it completes,

         and the property reset to the starting value of that transition.

         An example is a hover effect on an element,

         where a transition starts when the pointer enters the element,

         and then the pointer exits the element before the effect has completed.

         If the outgoing and incoming transitions

         are executed using their specified durations and timing functions,

         the resulting effect can be distractingly asymmetric

         because the second transition

         takes the full specified time to move a shortened distance.

         Instead, this specification makes second transition shorter.

       </p>

       <p>

         The mechanism the above rules use to cause this involves the

         <a>reversing shortening factor</a> and the

         <a>reversing-adjusted start value</a>.

         In particular, the reversing behavior is present whenever

         the <a>reversing shortening factor</a> is less than 1.

       </p>

       <p class="note">

         Note that these rules do not fully address the problem for

         transition patterns that involve more than two states.

       </p>

       <p class="note">

         Note that these rules lead to the entire timing function of the

         new transition being used, rather than jumping into the middle

         of a timing function, which can create a jarring effect.

         the transition adds a style called the <dfn>current value</dfn>

         at the level defined for CSS Transitions in [[CSS3CASCADE]].

       </p>

       <p class="note">

         Note that this means that computed values

         with the completion of a transition.

       </p>

       <p>

         Each event provides the name of the property the transition is

         Animation of property types

       </span></h2>

       <p>

         When interpolating between two values,

         <var>V</var><sub>start</sub> and <var>V</var><sub>end</sub>,

         interpolation is done using the output <var>p</var> of the timing function,

         which gives the portion of the value space

         that the interpolation has crossed.

         Thus the result of the interpolation is

         <var>V</var><sub>res</sub> =

           (1 - <var>p</var>) &sdot; <var>V</var><sub>start</sub> +

           <var>p</var> &sdot; <var>V</var><sub>end</sub>.

       </p>

       <p>

         However, if this value (<var>V</var><sub>res</sub>)

         is outside the allowed range of values for the property,

         then it is clamped to that range.

         This can occur if <var>p</var> is outside of the range 0 to 1,

         which can occur if a timing function is specified

         with a <var>y1</var> or <var>y2</var> that is outside the range 0 to 1.

       </p>

       <p>

         The following describes how each property type undergoes transition or

         animation.

       </p>

       <ul>

         <li id="animtype-color">

           <strong>color</strong>: interpolated via red, green, blue and alpha

           components (treating each as a number, see below).

           The interpolation is done between premultiplied colors

           (that is, colors for which the red, green, and blue components

           specified have been multiplied by the alpha).

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-length">

           <strong>length</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-percentage">

           <strong>percentage</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-lpcalc">

           <strong>length, percentage, or calc</strong>: when both values

           are lengths, interpolated as lengths; when both values are

           percentages, interpolated as percentages; otherwise, both

           values are converted into a ''calc()'' function that is the

           sum of a length and a percentage (each possibly zero), and

           these ''calc()'' functions have each half interpolated as real

           numbers.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-integer">

           <strong>integer</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps (whole

           numbers). The interpolation happens in real number space and is

           converted to an integer by rounding to the nearest integer, with

           values halfway between a pair of integers rounded towards

           positive infinity.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-font-weight">

           <strong>font weight</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps

           (multiples of 100). The interpolation happens in real number

           space and is converted to an integer by rounding to the

           nearest multiple of 100, with values halfway between multiples

           of 100 rounded towards positive infinity.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-number">

           <strong>number</strong>: interpolated as real (floating point)

           numbers.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-rect">

           <strong>rectangle</strong>: interpolated via the x, y,

           width and height components (treating each as a number).

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-visibility">

           <strong>visibility</strong>: if one of the values is

           ''visibility/visible'', interpolated as a discrete step where values of the

           timing function between 0 and 1 map to ''visibility/visible'' and other

           values of the timing function (which occur only at the

           start/end of the transition or as a result of ''cubic-bezier()''

           functions with Y values outside of [0, 1]) map to the closer

           endpoint; if neither value is ''visibility/visible'' then not interpolable.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-shadow-list">

           <strong>shadow list</strong>: Each shadow in the list is

           interpolated via the

           color (as <a href="#animtype-color">color</a>) component,

           and x, y, blur, and (when appropriate) spread

           (as <a href="#animtype-length">length</a>) components.

           For each shadow, if both input shadows are ''shadow/inset''

           or both input shadows are not ''shadow/inset'',

           then the interpolated shadow must match the input shadows in that regard.

           If any pair of input shadows has one ''shadow/inset'' and the other not ''shadow/inset'',

           the entire <a href="#animtype-shadow-list">shadow-list</a> is uninterpolable.

           If the lists of shadows have different lengths,

           then the shorter list is padded at the end

           with shadows whose color is ''transparent'',

           all lengths are ''0'',

           and whose ''shadow/inset'' (or not) matches the longer list.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-gradient">

           <strong>gradient</strong>: interpolated via the

           positions and colors of each stop. They must have the same type

           (radial or linear) and same number of stops in order to be animated.

           <span class="note">Note: [[CSS3-IMAGES]] may extend this

           definition.</span>

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-paintserver">

           <strong>paint server</strong> (SVG): interpolation is only supported

           between: gradient to gradient and color to color. They then

           work as above.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-simple-list">

           <strong>simple list</strong> of other types:

           If the lists have the same number of items,

           and each pair of values can be interpolated,

           each item in the list is interpolated using

           the rules given for those types.

           Otherwise the values are not interpolable.

         </li>

         <li id="animtype-repeatable-list">

           <strong>repeatable list</strong> of other types:

           The result list has a length that is the least common multiple

           of the lengths of the input lists.

           Each item in the result is the interpolation of the value

           from each input list repeated to the length of the result list.

           If a pair of values cannot be interpolated, then the lists

           are not interpolable.

           <span class="note">

             The repeatable list concept ensures that a list that is

             conceptually repeated to a certain length (as

             'background-origin' is repeated to the length of the

             'background-image' list) or repeated infinitely will

             smoothly transition between any values, and so that the

             computed value will properly represent the result (and

             potentially be inherited correctly).

       <p>The definition of each CSS property defines

       when the values of that property can be interpolated

       by referring to the definitions of property types

       in the <a href="#animatable-types">previous section</a>.

       Values are animatable when

       both the from and the to values of the property have the type described.

       (When a composite type such as "length, percentage, or calc" is listed,

       this means that both values must fit into that composite type.)

       When multiple types are listed in the form "either A or B",

       both values must be of the same type to be interpolable.</p>

       <p>For properties that exist at the time this specification was

       developed, this specification defines whether and how they are

       animated.  However, future CSS specifications may define

       additional properties, additional values for existing properties,

       or additional animation behavior of existing values.  In order to

       describe new animation behaviors and to have the definition of

       animation behavior in a more appropriate location, future CSS

       specifications should include an "Animatable:" line in the summary

       of the property's definition (in addition to the other lines

       href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">section

       1.4.2</a>).  This line should say "no" to indicate that a property

       cannot be animated or should reference an animation behavior

       (which may be one of the behaviors in the <a

       href="#animation-of-property-types-">Animation of property

       types</a> section above, or may be a new behavior) to define how

 <h2 id="changes">Changes since Working Draft of 19 November 2013</h2>

 <p>The following are the substantive changes made since the

 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css3-transitions-20131119/">Working Draft

 dated 19 November 2013</a>:</p>

 <ul>

   <li>Canceling and interrupting of running transitions is defined much more precisely.  This includes the after-change style no longer including styles from CSS Transitions.</li>

   <li>Completion of transitions is defined somewhat more precisely.</li>

   <li>The transitionend event is no longer cancelable.  This is since it has no default action, so canceling it would have no meaning.  It also matches the animation events.</li>

   <li>The interpolation of ''shadow/inset'' values on shadow lists is no longer backwards.</li>

   <li>A [[#conformance]] section and [[#idl-index]] have been added</li>

   <li>The identifiers accepted by 'transition-property' are defined in terms of <<custom-ident>>.</li>

 </ul>

 <p>For more details on these changes, see the version control <a href="https://hg.csswg.org/drafts/log/tip/css-transitions/Overview.bs">change log since 2015 January 26</a> and the <a href="https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/log/tip/css-transitions/Overview.src.html">change log from 2013 March 28 to 2015 January 26</a>.</p>
