I've already known this underline/border-bottom animation for a long time (fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/0ou3o9rn/4/), but I can't seem to find out how I'd have to style my codes correctly... Nothing works.
CSS:
.lists li {
position: absolute;
display:block;
left: 0;
top:90%;
margin:0 auto;
height: 2px;
background-color: #000;
width: 0%;
transition: width 1s;}
HTML:
<div class="lists"><ul>
<li><a href="/">link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="/">link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="/">link 3</a></li>
</ul></div>
This for example doesn't work, but I still want an animated underline to appear when I hover over the li
s/a
s. Can anyone help me? Thank you!
No need of extra markup (pseudo would do the job too anyway ), you could simply use a background-image (or gradient) and use background-size
to expand/shrink the effect.background-position can be sused to set where effect can start (demo below does : left, center, right)
.lists li {
display: inline-block;
margin:0 1em;
}
.lists li a {
display: block;
padding: 3px 1em 3px;
text-decoration: none;
background: linear-gradient(to left, gold, gold) no-repeat bottom center;
background-size: 0% 3px;
/* will not show */
transition: 0.25s;
}
.lists li a:hover {
background-size: 100% 3px;
/* will expand whole width */
}
/* some more styling ? */
.lists {
background:gray;
}
.lists li:first-of-type a {
background-position: bottom left;
}
.lists li:last-of-type a {
background-position: bottom right;
}
.lists li a {
background-color: #222;
color: #ace
}
<div class="lists">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">link 1</a>
</li>
<li><a href="/">link 2</a>
</li>
<li><a href="/">link 3</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Slider is a box with 2px height. Initially widht of block is 0px.
When user hovers over the #name, then width of slider becomes 100%.
Now css transition is applied on this width. So, this animation occurs.
<div id="splash"> <span id="name">random title
<div class="slider"></div>
</span>
</div>
.slider {
position: absolute;
display:block;
left: 0;
top:90%;
margin:0 auto;
height: 2px;
background-color: #000;
width: 0%;
transition: width 1s;
}
#name:hover > .slider {
width: 100%;
}
#splash {
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-color:#fff;
z-index:999999;
position:fixed;
}
#name {
color:#000;
font-family:'Arial-BoldMT';
font-weight:bold;
font-size:50px;
letter-spacing: -2px;
display:block;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, 0);
position:absolute;
top:40%;
margin:0 auto;
}
