css animation on “content:” doesn't work on Safari and Firefox

Question

I have an animation set on :before that works fine on Chrome but it doesn\'t work on Safari (IOS9 iPhone or 9 - El Capitan) neither on Firefox.

Answer 1

in safari and firefox the code isn't animation, instead you'll have to write -moz-animation and also -webkit-animation, like this code:

.hey {
  color: white;
}
.hey:before {
  content: 'Hey \a there';
  white-space: pre;
  position: absolute;
  color: red;
  animation: heyThere 2250ms steps(11);
  -moz-animation: heyThere 2250ms steps(11); /* for firefox */
  -webkit-animation: heyThere 2250ms steps(11); /* for safari, chrome & opera */
}

@keyframes heyThere {
    0% {content: "";}
    1% {content: "";}
    75% {content: "";}
    77% {content: "H";}
    80% {content: "He";}
    83% {content: "Hey";}
    85% {content: "Hey ";}
    87% {content: "Hey \a t";}
    90% {content: "Hey \a th";}
    93% {content: "Hey \a the";}
    95% {content: "Hey \a ther";}
    97% {content: "Hey \a there";}
    100% {content: "Hey \a there";}
}
@-moz-keyframes heyThere { /* animation for firefox */
    0% {content: "";}
    1% {content: "";}
    75% {content: "";}
    77% {content: "H";}
    80% {content: "He";}
    83% {content: "Hey";}
    85% {content: "Hey ";}
    87% {content: "Hey \a t";}
    90% {content: "Hey \a th";}
    93% {content: "Hey \a the";}
    95% {content: "Hey \a ther";}
    97% {content: "Hey \a there";}
    100% {content: "Hey \a there";}
}
@-webkit-keyframes heyThere { /* animation for chrome, safari & opera */
    0% {content: "";}
    1% {content: "";}
    75% {content: "";}
    77% {content: "H";}
    80% {content: "He";}
    83% {content: "Hey";}
    85% {content: "Hey ";}
    87% {content: "Hey \a t";}
    90% {content: "Hey \a th";}
    93% {content: "Hey \a the";}
    95% {content: "Hey \a ther";}
    97% {content: "Hey \a there";}
    100% {content: "Hey \a there";}
}
