Is there an animatable transition-property for css filters?

Question

I'm trying to animate CSS filters but can't find any information on the correct transition properties. What are they?

Here's an example: http://jsbin.com/onijim/3/

Answer 1

-webkit-transition : -webkit-filter 500ms linear

works in webkit. I don't know about filter support in FF or Opera.

I'm not sure I wholly understand your question.

Answer 2

That's what I'm using. For Mozilla the 2nd is working for me, but in my sources I found it with the -moz- prefix, so it doesn't hurt to keep both.

-webkit-transition: 1s -webkit-filter linear;
-moz-transition: 1s -moz-filter linear;
-moz-transition: 1s filter linear;
-ms-transition: 1s -ms-filter linear;
-o-transition: 1s -o-filter linear;
transition: 1s filter linear, 1s -webkit-filter linear;

Answer 3

On last versions of Chrome which support transition without -webkit- prefix, if you are using transition-property (no shorthand transition) and properties like filter which still needs -webkit- prefix you need to mix unprefixed and prefixed code:

transition-property: width, left, transform, box-shadow, filter, -webkit-filter;

Note that the filter property is repeted with -webkit-filter. This is needed for browsers which do not use prefix, like Firefox, which in that case -webkit-filter is ignored.
