What is animation in CSS3? The animation property is a shorthand property that allows to setting six of the animation properties at once. It has a following syntax: animation: name | duration | timing-function | delay | iteration-count | direction | fill-mode | play-state | initial | inherit ; Property Values: name - it’s specifies the name of the keyframe you want to bind to the selector. duration - it’s specifies the duration in seconds or milliseconds of the animation. timing-function - it’s specifies the duration in seconds or milliseconds of the animation. delay - it’s specifies a delay before the animation will start. iteration-count - it’s specifies the number of times to play the animation. direction - it’s specifies whether or not the animation should play in reverse on alternate cycles. fill-mode - it’s specifies what values are applied by the animation outside the time it is executing. play-state - it’s specifies whether the animation is running or paused. initial - it specifies that the value of the property should be set to the default value. inherit - it specifies that the value of the property should be inherited from the parent element. Example: In this example you can see on how to use an animation moving in three different colored boxes from left to right using the animation shortcut:
