HTML Animation Techniques

HTML animations enhance web page interactivity and user engagement. Here are some key techniques:

CSS Transitions:

• Trigger animation based on element state changes (e.g., hover, click).
• Use transition property to specify duration, easing, and properties to animate.

CSS Animations:

• Create complex animations using keyframes.
• Define animation states and specify how the element should transition between them.

HTML5 Canvas:

• Use JavaScript and the Canvas API to draw and animate graphics on the web page.
• Allows for custom and interactive animations.

Practical Steps:

Example: Animating Web Pages with HTML and CSS

<div class="box">
  <p>This box will animate on hover.</p>
</div>

<style>
.box {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  background: #f00;
  transition: all 1s ease-in-out;
}

.box:hover {
  background: #0f0;
  transform: scale(1.5);
}
</style>

Explanation:

• On hover, the .box element transitions from red to green and scales up by 1.5 over 1 second.
• The ease-in-out easing function controls the animation's smooth start and end.
