Continuous CSS rotation animation on hover, animated back to 0deg on hover out

Question

I have an element that spins when you hover over it indefinitely. When you hover out, the animation stops. Simple:

@-webkit-keyframes rotate {
    from {
            


        

Answer 1

Here's a javascript implementation that works with web-kit:

var isHovering = false;

var el = $(".elem").mouseover(function(){
    isHovering = true;
    spin();
}).mouseout(function(){
    isHovering = false;
});

var spin = function(){
    if(isHovering){
        el.removeClass("spin");

        setTimeout(function(){
            el.addClass("spin");

            setTimeout(spin, 1500);
        }, 0);
    }
};
spin();
