webkit transition syntax in javascript?

Question

I'm looking for the webkitTransition object reference here

 function spawnAnimation(what){
    //sets the moving element
    var moveingEl = document.getElementById(what);
    //gives temp transition property
    moveingEl.style.WebkitTransition = "left 2s";
   // moveingEl.style.webkitTransition = "top 500ms";

   var cLeft = moveingEl.style.left
   var cleft = Number(cLeft.slice(0, -2));

    var cTop = moveingEl.style.top
   var cTop = Number(cTop.slice(0, -2));

   moveingEl.style.left = cLeft+200 + "px";

}

This does not work.I would like to give the element a transition property, then make it move to the right. When this code is called it just immediately moves to the right with no animation. bummer :(. I don't want to predefine it in CSS, I would like to dynamically add it and then remove it.

Answer 1

Use style.setProperty.

moveingEl.style.setProperty("-webkit-transition", "left 5s linear");

moveingEl.style.setProperty("left", "200px");

Answer 2

Allow 1ms for the rendered to get the thread back.

setTimeout(function() {
    myElement.style.height = '200px'; /* or whatever css changes you want to do */
}, 1);​

Answer 3

You can use:

element.style.webkitTransition = "set your transition up here"

Answer 4

I know it's a workaround, but can you use jQuery?

$(moveingEl).css('-webkit-transform', 'translateX(200px)');

<script>
        $(document).ready(function(){

                var x = 100;
                var y = 0;
            setInterval(function(){
                x += 1;
                y += 1;
                var element = document.getElementById('cube');
                element.style.webkitTransform = "translateZ(-100px) rotateY("+x+"deg) rotateX("+y+"deg)"; //for safari and chrome
                element.style.MozTransform = "translateZ(-100px) rotateY("+x+"deg) rotateX("+y+"deg)"; //for firefox
            },50);
            //for other browsers use:   "msTransform",    "OTransform",    "transform"

        });
    </script>
