Summary
The animation-name
CSS property specifies a list of animations that should be applied to the selected element. Each name indicates a @keyframes
at-rule that defines the property values for the animation sequence.
It is often convenient to use the shorthand property animation
to set all animation properties at once.
Initial value | none |
---|---|
Applies to | all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements |
Inherited | no |
Media | visual |
Computed value | as specified |
Animation type | discrete |
Canonical order | the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar |
