CSS3 Translate across an Arc

Question

Is it at all possible with current CSS3 to translate an object (specifically a DIV) along an arc or curve? Here\'s an image to help illustrate.

Answer 1

Yes, that animation can be created using the transform-origin CSS3 property to set the rotation point in the far right so it moves like that.

#c {
    border: 1px solid black;
    height: 400px;
}

#c:hover #m {
    -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
    -webkit-transition: all 1s ease-in-out;
    -moz-transform: rotate(180deg);
    -moz-transition: all 1s ease-in-out;
    -o-transform: rotate(180deg);
    -o-transition: all 1s ease-in-out;
    -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
    -ms-transition: all 1s ease-in-out;
    transform: rotate(180deg);
    transition: all 1s ease-in-out;
}

#m {
    width: 60px;
    height: 60px;
    position: absolute;
    background: green;
    border-radius: 30px;
    top: 270px;
    left: 20px;
    -webkit-transform-origin:300px 30px;
    -moz-transform-origin:300px 30px;
    -o-transform-origin:300px 30px;
    -ms-transform-origin:300px 30px;
    transform-origin:300px 30px;
}
