Simple Animation With CSS Is The Next Logical Step

November 23rd, 2007 in Design Tips & Tutorials

Webkit recently posted an article on their blog Surfin' Safari describing a new set of CSS functions currently in the works. The purpose of these new functions is to allow animation using simple CSS attributes. Vitamin's comment about the venture was "Now I don't know why you'd want to, but hey, you can". I couldn't disagree more.

How long have we been forced to sacrifice accessibility and search optimization just to get a little movement on our web sites? Granted, this won't replace the more complicated interactive capabilities of Flash objects but at least we won't have to fire up Flash every time we want a link rollover to transition gracefully. Keep up the good work, Webkit, and maybe everyone else will follow.
