CSS3 In Transition Uncharted Territory With the addition of the CSS3 transition property comes a lot of uncharted territory. Never before has it been so easy to bring animation into a usable, standards-based browsing environment. Determining how often and to what degree one should use animation on a web build can be tricky. As we evaluate how to implement animations from project to project, we’ll need to carefully consider how it might affect user experience. Here are a few observations I’ve made from the field. Consider the Psychology of Motion Motion demands attention. I’d say it’s a general rule that the more content you have on a page, the less motion you can get away with using. Linking & Navigation I really enjoy adding the transition property to make links & menu bars fade in and out, but I have to be careful. Notice how with the first row, you can make it all the way across the bar with no hover state clearly appearing. It’s all been done before... ...with Flash.
