CSS | transition Property

Last Updated : 09 Aug, 2019

The transition property in CSS is used to make some transition effect. The transition is the combination of four properties which are listed below:

transition-property
transition-duration
transition-timing-function
transition-delay

Note: The transition effect can be defined in two states (hover and active) using pseudo-classes like : hover or: active or classes dynamically set by using JavaScript.

Syntax:

transition: transition-property transition-duration 
transition-timing-function transition-delay;

Note: If any of the values are not defined then the browser assumes the default values.

Property Values:

transition-property: It specifies the CSS properties to which a transition effect should be applied.
transition-duration: It specifies the length of time a transition animation should take to complete.
transition-timing-function: It specifies the speed of transition.
transition-delay: It specifies the transition delay or time when transition starts.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            CSS transition Property
        </title>
          
        <style> 
            div {

                display: inline-block;
            }
              
            div:hover {
                width: 300px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
