Prolong the ultimate position of the initial animation for the translated object

I understand that this question has been asked multiple times before, but I am seeking a fresh approach to these animations.

Issue:

The second box contains multiple animations, and I am trying to achieve the same effect as the first one. However, it seems like the transform property is being overwritten (as expected). Despite trying to extend the first animation of the second box with the properties of the second animation, using animation-fill-mode: forwards did not yield success. Perhaps I am overlooking something basic. Is achieving this possible with pure CSS?

*Reference

The ‘animation-name’ property defines a list of animations that apply. If multiple animations are attempting to modify the same property, then the animation closest to the end of the list of names wins.

Requirement:

Create separate move2-right and move2-down keyframe rules while operating on the same element, maintaining the transformations from the first animation. If there's an alternative method for achieving this type of animation, I would appreciate guidance on it.

Current Output:

.animation-2 {

Answer №1

From my understanding, achieving this effect with pure CSS seems to be a challenge due to the way transformations are handled. When adding an additional transformation rule to an element that already has a transform, it resets the whole transform instead of appending to it.

However, using JavaScript might offer a potential solution, albeit a complex one. The process would involve:

  • Listening for the animationend event after the completion of the first animation.
  • Retrieving the translateX(...) value in pixels within the event handler.
  • Obtaining the CSS keyframe rules for the next animation and adjusting them to incorporate the retrieved translateX(...) as the initial part of the transform stack.

Please note: This alternative method assumes that you have exhausted all possibilities of utilizing the initial approach stated in the question.

An alternate technique to achieve a similar outcome involves animating the margin or position properties of an element rather than utilizing transform: translate(). One drawback of this method is the lack of GPU acceleration (unlike 

transform</code), which can result in slower performance when multiple animations occur simultaneously.</p>

<p><strong>Using Margins:</strong></p>

<p>The following example demonstrates the effect through animating the <code>margin-left
and margin-top properties.

[Code snippet here]

Note: As mentioned in another response of mine linked here, an option could be introducing a wrapper element and applying the move-down animation to it, replicating the original effect without diverging from the core query on combining multiple animations seamlessly.
