I've seen this type of animation on a website just when CSS3 key-frames started to gain momentum, but couldn't find it nor could I replicate it using CSS or jQuery, and here's where I thought some of you could help.
I've animated what I hope to achieve and I've embedded it below. I believe this can be coded using the new CSS3 key-frames or jQuery's .animate(); feature. I don't know. I've tried everything I know, but all in vain.
Here's the GIF animation of what I wanted:
I just noticed, http://droplr.com/ uses a very similar transition on their home page, but with a few sliding effects. And the data (words) that come up are all random, all the time. I'd like to know how that is possible!
I know that question is solved, but I thought it might be helpful for someone else so I decided to share xD
I was looking for something more smoother than the sugestion that here was presented, after spend a time looking i made my own solution
Here we will need to think a bit in terms of timeline of an keyframe, in that case the text will only be displayed when the another one has already completed his fade animation
div{
posititon: relative;
}
.js-nametag{
position: absolute;
}
.js-nametag:nth-child(1){
animation-name: fade;
animation-fill-mode: both;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-direction: alternate-reverse;
}
.js-nametag:nth-child(2){
animation-name: fade;
animation-fill-mode: both;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-direction: alternate;
}
@keyframes fade{
0%,50% {
opacity: 0;
}
100%{
opacity: 1;
}
}
<p class="js-nametag">Leandro de Lima</p>
<p class="js-nametag">Game Master</p>
DEMO
A possible solution with pure css!
@-webkit-keyframes fade-in{
from{
opacity:1;
top:0px;
}
to{
opacity:0;
top:-5px;
}
}
.text-animated-one{
display:inline;
position:relative;
top:0px;
-webkit-animation:fade-in 1s infinite;
}
.text-animated-two{
opacity:0;
display:inline;
position:relative;
margin-left:-56px;
-webkit-animation:fade-in 1s infinite;
-webkit-animation-delay:0.5s;
}
.aggettivi{
display:inline;
width:100px;
height:100px;
}
Some extensive Google Searching and experimenting has led me to the point where I can answer my own question, and just in time too!
If any of you would like to know how that can be done, check out this CodePen snippet I wrote: http://codepen.io/AmruthPillai/pen/axvqB
Something like this:
JSFiddle Demo
HTML
<p>I am <span>Something</span><span class="hidden">Test22222</span></p>
CSS
.hidden {display:none;}
span { position: absolute; left:45px; top:10px;}
p {width:200px; border:1px solid #000; padding:10px; position:relative;}
jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
// run the fade() function every 2 seconds
setInterval(function(){
fade();
},2000);
// toggle between fadeIn and fadeOut with 0.3s fade duration.
function fade(){
$("span").fadeToggle(300);
}
});
Note : this only works with toggling 2 words, it might be better to have an array of words, and to write a function to loop through those and apply the `fadeIn/fadeOut animation.
Edit : Here is a solution for multiple words - https://stackoverflow.com/a/2772278/2470724 it uses an array
to store each word and then loops through them.
Edit 2 : Non-array solution : http://jsfiddle.net/kMBMp/ This version loops through an un-ordered list
which has display:none
on it
The lowest effort approach is probably to use the Morphext jQuery plug-in:
https://github.com/MrSaints/Morphext
It's powered by animate.css, so it's easy to change the animation style of the text.
If you're looking for something a bit more powerful (can specify in AND out animations; animate not just text), there's a spin-off called Morphist:
