Stop an animation while it is in the hover state

Currently experimenting with CSS3 Animations to create a Panoramic view using only CSS and no JavaScript.

I have managed to create a somewhat working demo: http://www.example.com/images/panoramic/

The concept is simple: when the user hovers over the black rectangle on the edges, the central background moves.

Source code: www.example.com/images/panoramic/sources-pano.zip

However, I am facing an issue where when the mouse leaves the :hover state, the background resets to its initial position. I can add a transition to smooth this out, but my goal is to pause the animation in its current visual state when the mouse leaves, rather than resetting it.

After spending a whole day trying to figure this out, I'm unsure if this is possible with CSS3 Animations!

The animation-fill-mode: forwards; does not seem to work, nor does triggering the animation-play-state: paused on the initial state. This may be due to starting the animation from a different DOM element than the one being animated...

Can anyone provide assistance or confirm that this is an impossible task?

Thank you in advance

Answer №1

After reviewing the CSS3 Transitions Specification, I did not find any information on how to pause transitions halfway. While there is a mention of reversing transitions symmetrically, my recent experience with this feature was unsatisfactory. It seems like JavaScript might be your best bet for achieving the desired functionality.

In my opinion, focusing on functionality rather than style makes JavaScript a more suitable option in this scenario.

How to Pause CSS3 Animations

Sample CSS Code:

button:hover .icon{
    -webkit-animation-play-state:paused; /* Works in Webkit Browsers */
    -moz-animation-play-state:paused; /* Compatible with Firefox*/
     animation-play-state:paused;
}
