CSS Spec Proposals for Transforms, Transitions, and Animation

The folks at webkit.org are adopting animation support that has been present in mobile Safari since iPhone 2.0. They are also proposing specs for CSS-based transforms, transitions, and animations:

• http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-2d-transforms/
• http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-3d-transforms/
• http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-transitions/
• http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-animations/

See some animations in action using the latest nightly WebKit at:

Firefox 3.1 is also adopting WebKit’s proposal for supporting transforms too:

• https://developer.mozilla.org/web-tech/2008/09/12/css-transforms/

And of course there is also the cryptic filters that IE supports for transforms:

It will be nice to have all of these varying implementations conform to a standard.
