![]() If I wait for this to happen in my external JavaScript, then it’s not going to happen quickly enough. I’m doing this right at the top of the body element because I want the content to disappear as soon as possible. The JavaScript adds the hidden class, which removes the body’s content.I’ve put a element right after the opening tag.I’m using a CSS transition for the subtle animation that causes the fade-in effect.I’ve added two declaration blocks in a element, just above the opening tag.Because of this, I opted for adding some CSS in the of the document. So if I’m trying to interact with the page before the stylesheet finishes loading, this might not work as well. But the stylesheet is external and I’m not inlining it. I could have used classes in my HTML that are pulled in from my stylesheet. In other cases, a loading spinner might be more appropriate, but here I’m happy with a simple fade-in. The concept here is basically the same as if I was adding a loading spinner to the page, but because the page shouldn’t be loading for long, I don’t care about indicating what’s happening to the user. +70 animations generated by CSS only, work on every browser. This means I have to set the opacity using JavaScript. Those users shouldn’t notice anything wrong. I’m also ensuring that the page is fully visible and accessible to anyone viewing with JavaScript turned off. When the DOM is ready and any scripts finish running, set the element back to opacity: 1, animating it so it comes in gracefully.As soon as the element is ready, set it to opacity: 0 in CSS.We also added slight delay with transiton-delay, to make it little bit better. I’m sure there are a few ways to accomplish this but I think my method is clean and easy to understand. then when you want element to appear, use this class: opacity: 1 transform: translateX (0px) logic here is that: Transform -> removes/places element into the view INSTANTLY while opacity takes care of the Fade In / Out effects. Here, we have used JavaScript to convert text into individual. Also, it happens on every “page” for CSS Values, but only on the home page for Web Tools Weekly (though technically the CSS Values pages are more like “states”). This vide takes you through how to design fade text animation using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It’s more noticeable on CSS Values because there’s a lot more content on there and some JavaScript that has to load. Visit each of those home pages and you’ll notice in each case the content fades in rather than loading up in a clunky fashion. In CSS, when you combine the animation property with the keyframes rule, you get a fade-in animation that takes place as the page loads. The two websites I’m talking about are Web Tools Weekly and CSS Values. ![]() But in a couple of projects that I recently overhauled, I added a subtle and clean loading mechanism that I think makes the experience nicer, even if it does ultimately slightly delay the time that the user is able to start interacting with my page. I know nowadays we’re obsessed in this industry with gaining every millisecond in page performance. Often stuff is moving around, fonts aren’t quite loaded, and it feels broken. ![]() You’d typically call on the animation using incrementally greater delay values for each element.When I visit a page, I get annoyed when I try to interact with elements while the website is still loading. (Note the use of font-size: 0 to eliminate every last little extra space inside the ).Ĭreating a presentation sequence with pure CSSĪ sequential fade-in sequence can be created with a keyframe animation and the CSS animation-delay property. In the example above, I have a series of photographs inside a div: ![]() Paradoxically, delaying elements so that they appear one after another can make a web page feel faster: visitors gain the impression that a site delivers a "smoother" experience by interacting with transitioned elements.īefore creating this effect, we should prepare our markup.
