Animatable:No
Version:CSS3
JavaScript syntax:
object.style.animationTimingFunction="linear|ease|ease-in|ease-out|ease-in-out|step-start|step-end|steps(int,start|end)|cubic-bezier(n,n,n,n)|steps(n, jumpterm)|initial|inherit|revert|revert-layer|unset";



Standard Syntax

animation-timing-function: linear|ease|ease-in|ease-out|ease-in-out|step-start|step-end|steps(int,start|end)|cubic-bezier(n,n,n,n)|steps(n, jumpterm)|initial|inherit|revert|revert-layer|unset;

Property Values

The following table describes the values of this property.

Value Description
linear The animation has the same speed from start to end.
ease Default value. The animation has a slow start, then fast, before it ends slowly.
ease-in The animation start slowly.
ease-out The animation ends slowly.
ease-in-out The animation has slow start and a slow end
step-start Equivalent to steps(1, start)
step-end Equivalent to steps(1, end)
steps(int,start|end) Displays an animation iteration along n stops along the transition, displaying each stop for equal lengths of time.
cubic-bezier(n,n,n,n) Specifies your own values in the cubic-bezier function. Possible values are numeric values from 0 to 1.
steps(n, jumpterm) Displays an animation iteration along n stops along the transition, displaying each stop for equal lengths of time.
For example - If n is 5, there are 5 steps. Whether the animation holds temporarily at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%, on the 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%, or makes 5 stops between the 0% and 100% along the animation, or makes 5 stops including the 0% and 100% marks (on the 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) depends on which of the following jump terms is used:

  • jump-start - Denotes a left-continuous function, so that the first jump happens when the animation begins.
  • jump-end - Denotes a right-continuous function, so that the last jump happens when the animation ends.
  • jump-none - There is no jump on either end. Instead, holding at both the 0% mark and the 100% mark, each for 1/n of the duration.
  • jump-both - Includes pauses at both the 0% and 100% marks, effectively adding a step during the animation iteration.
  • start - Same as jump-start.
  • end -Same as jump-end.
initial Sets this property to its default value.
inherit If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property.
revert Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property
revert-layer Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers.
unset Resets a property to its inherited value if the property naturally inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not.
