How to prevent css keyframe animation to run on page load?

Answer 1

If you're looking at this after 2019, a better solution is this:

let div = document.querySelector('div')
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
    // Adding timeout to simulate the loading of the page
    setTimeout(() => {
        div.classList.remove('prevent-animation')
    }, 2000)
    
    document.querySelector('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
        if(div.classList.contains('after')) {
            div.classList.remove('after')
        } else {
            div.classList.add('after')
        }
    })
})

div {
    background-color: purple;
    height: 150px;
    width: 150px;
}

.animated-class {
    animation: animationName 2000ms;
}

.animated-class.prevent-animation {
    animation-duration: 0ms;
}

.animated-class.after {
    animation: animation2 2000ms;
    background-color: orange;
}

@keyframes animationName {
    0% {
        background-color: red;
    }
    50% {
        background-color: blue;
    }
    100% {
        background-color: purple;
    }
}

@keyframes animation2 {
    0% {
        background-color: salmon;
    }
    50% {
        background-color: green;
    }
    100% {
      background-color: orange;
    }
}
