I've been studying web development for about 2 weeks now. I've just started animations and I'm trying to complete a CSS assignment using Keyframes where I need to make an element move
My element makes it almost to the bottom-left corner, but not quite, and then just kind of cuts the corner and returns to the top-left corner at a weird angle. On top of that, I can't manage to keep the element itself on the page or in a container div during the animation.
.box{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: black;
top: 0;
left:0;
border-radius: 50%;
position: relative;
animation-name: slideme;
animation-duration: 12s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
#container{
width: 800px;
height: 800px;
border: 1px solid red;
position: absolute;
}
@keyframes slideme{
0%{
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
25%{
left: 100%;
top: 0;
}
50%{
left: 100%;
top: 100%;
}
75%{
right: 100%;
top: 100%;
}
100%{
left:0 ;
top: 0;
}
}
This is what I've written so far and it gets me 3/4 of the way there, but I can't for the life of me figure out why there's that little corner cut at the end. Any help or advice on this would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
I attempted to change the values of the 100%{} attribute, and I also attempted to extend the animation to make sure it had enough time to play through.
This is because you're using right
in the 75% keyframe instead of left
, see what it looks like with left
instead:
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: black;
top: 0;
left: 0;
border-radius: 50%;
position: relative;
animation-name: slideme;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
#container{
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
position: absolute;
}
@keyframes slideme {
0% {
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
25% {
top: 0;
left: 100%;
}
50% {
top: 100%;
left: 100%;
}
75% {
top: 100%;
left: 0;
}
100% {
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
}
<div id="container">
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
I sped up your animation and made the box smaller, but it should be otherwise the same code!
I just saw that you want to contain the element within the parent container/page: you can use calc
for this! Check it out:
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: black;
top: 0;
left: 0;
border-radius: 50%;
position: relative;
animation-name: slideme;
animation-duration: 5s;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
#container {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
position: absolute;
}
@keyframes slideme {
0% {
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
25% {
top: 0;
left: calc(100% - 100px);
}
50% {
top: calc(100% - 100px);
left: calc(100% - 100px);
}
75% {
top: calc(100% - 100px);
left: 0;
}
100% {
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
}
<div id="container">
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
