Learn to create HTML animations using JavaScript
To demonstrate how to create HTML animations with JavaScript, we will use a simple web page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First
JavaScript Animation</h1>
<div id="animation">My animation will go here</div>
</body>
</html>
All animations should be relative to a container element.
<div id ="container">
<div id ="animate">My
animation will go here</div>
</div>
The container element should be created with style = "position: relative
".
The animation element should be created with style = "position: absolute
".
#container {
width: 400px;
height:
400px;
position: relative;
background: yellow;
}
#animate {
width: 50px;
height:
50px;
position: absolute;
background: red;
}
JavaScript animations are done by programming gradual changes in an element's style.
The changes are called by a timer. When the timer interval is small, the animation looks continuous.
The basic code is:
id = setInterval(frame, 5);
function frame() {
if (/*
test for finished */) {
clearInterval(id);
} else {
/* code to change the element style */
}
}
function myMove() {
let id = null;
const elem = document.getElementById("animate");
let pos = 0;
clearInterval(id);
id = setInterval(frame, 5);
function frame() {
if (pos ==
350) {
clearInterval(id);
} else {
pos++;
elem.style.top = pos + 'px';
elem.style.left = pos + 'px';
}
}
}
