Example: In this example, we are creating a div tag whose CSS is defined in style tag and when you hover the mouse on div tag after clicking on submit button the CSS will change from myDIV CSS to myDIV: hover CSS.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<head>
    <!--this style tag defines two CSS
    the first one is the CSS define for
    the button whose id is myDiv. first
    css will show when the page is load.
    second css is used when someone 
    hover the mouse on the Div -->
    <style>
        #myDIV {
            border: 1px solid black;
            background-color: #0f9d58;
            width: 220px;
            height: 100;
 
        }
         
        #myDIV:hover {
            background-color: #228B22;
            width: 500px;
        }
    </style>
</head>
 
<body>
    <center>
    <div id="myDIV">
        <h1>GeeksForGeeks</h1>
    </div>
    <button onclick="myFunction()">submit</button>
    <script>
        // this function will find a button whose id
        // is myDIV and assign its new css according 
        // to the css define in css section
        function myFunction() {
            document.getElementById(
            "myDIV").style.WebkitTransition = "width 3s";
         
            // here all means that the transition
            // is used for all property.
         
            // 2s means that hover effect will complete
            // in 2s its the transaction duration time.
            document.getElementById(
            "myDIV").style.transition = "width 3s";
        }
    </script>
</center>
</body>
 
</html>                    

Output:

Before Hover:

While hovering the mouse after click on submit:

Note transitionDuration can be only non negative number and it can’t be zero otherwise the transaction effect will not shown.

Instead of all we can use following css properties:

none: no properties get the transaction effect
all: this is the default value all the properties will get the transaction effect.
initial: Sets this property to its default value.
inherit: Inherits this property from its parent element.
