I am trying to achieve a nice animation, however I am a bit stuck using CSS only to achieve the effect that I want. Currently I am using animate.css to animate new elements in, but the old element dont move gracefully, since I have no further animation.
Here is a http://jsfiddle.net/tcq8kuy6/1/ illustrating the current state of my animation.
setInterval(function(){
var newbox = "<div class='child animated bounceInDown'></div>"
$('.container').prepend(newbox);
}, 2000);
fiddle
In order to make this work I did a couple of things:-
1 CSS
.child {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
display: block; //inline block results in jerkiness when inserting items
margin:2px; //added margin to compensate for inline-block becoming block.
border: 1px solid #AAAAAA;
}
2 JS
setTimeout(function(){
var newbox = "<div class='child animated bounceInDown'></div>"
$(newbox).prependTo('.container').hide().slideDown(500);//notice that I prepend to the container, then hide the 'newbox' and then slide it down -> this gives the desired effect.
}, 2000);
Hopefully that helps.
