Chapter 8CSS3 Transforms and Transitions
Our page is fairly static. Actually, it’s completely static. In Chapter 4 we learned a little about how to alter a form’s
appearance based on its state with the :invalid and
:valid pseudo-classes. But what about really moving
things around? What about changing the appearance of elements—rotating or
skewing them?
For years, web designers have relied on JavaScript for in-page animations, and the only way to display text on an angle was to use an image. This is far from ideal. Enter CSS3: without a line of JavaScript or a single JPEG, you can tilt, scale, move, and even flip your elements with ease.
Let’s see how it’s done.
