transition-property

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

Summary

The transition-property CSS property is used to specify the names of CSS properties to which a transition effect should be applied.

Note: The set of properties that can be animated is subject to change. As such, you should avoid including any properties in the list that don't currently animate, as someday they might, causing unexpected results.

If you specify a shorthand property (for example, background) all of its longhand sub-properties that can be animated will be.

Initial value	`all`
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

Syntax

/* Keyword values */
transition-property: none;
transition-property: all;
transition-property: test_05;
transition-property: -specific;
transition-property: sliding-vertically;

transition-property: test1;
transition-property: test1, animation4;
transition-property: all, height, all;
transition-property: all, -moz-specific, sliding;

/* Global values */
transition-property: inherit;
transition-property: initial;
transition-property: unset;

Values

none: No properties will transition.
all: All properties that can have an animated transition will do so.
IDENT: A string identifying the property to which a transition effect should be applied when its value changes. This identifier is composed by case-insensitive letters a to z, numbers 0 to 9, an underscore (_) or a dash(-). The first non-dash character must be a letter (that is: no number at the beginning of it, even preceded by a dash). Also, two dashes are forbidden at the beginning of the identifier.

Formal syntax

none | <single-transition-property>#where 
<single-transition-property> = all | <custom-ident>

Examples

There are several examples of CSS transitions included in the main CSS transitions article.

Since Gecko 49.0 (Firefox 49.0 / Thunderbird 49.0 / SeaMonkey 2.46) the preference defaults to true.
