Does Internet Explorer support CSS transitions?

Question

CSS transitions are a very neat way of animating changes in CSS properties. Do any versions of Internet Explorer support them?

Answer 1

There is no native support to CSS transforms and transitions in IE8.

Perhaps you need to go with some available JavaScript libraries to produce such effects:

• www.jqueryui.com/effect/

A trade-off : CSS transitions take advantage of native graphic acceleration of browser (GPU) and thus are smoother than using JavaScript effects.
