Changing -webkit-animation-play-state With Javascript

Hi I have been trying to figure out how to change my css3 -webkit-animation-play-state from paused to running by clicking on another div. Does any one know how I would do this?? Im

Solution 1:

I don't think you're able to do it unless you use JavaScript. Using JavaScript, you would have to fetch the style.webkitAnimationPlayState of the element you wish to change. If it's an empty string, then it is set to the inital value, which is "running".

In the example code, clickDiv is the div you click and animationDiv is the div whose webkit-animation-play-state is getting changed:

clickDiv.addEventListener("click", function(){
    if (animationDiv.style.webkitAnimationPlayState == "paused") {
        animationDiv.style.webkitAnimationPlayState = "running";
    }elseif(animationDiv.style.webkitAnimationPlayState == "running" || animationDiv.style.webkitAnimationPlayState == ""){
        animationDiv.style.webkitAnimationPlayState = "paused"; // assuming you want to toggle
    }
    console.log(animationDiv.style.webkitAnimationPlayState);
})?

Solution 2:

look at http://jsfiddle.net/JCzpd/37/

var animationDiv = document.getElementById("aD");
var clickDiv = document.getElementById("cD");
clickDiv.addEventListener("click", function(){
    if (animationDiv.style.animation == "") {
animationDiv.style.animation = " anim .5s forwards";
//animationDiv.style.animation = " anim running  .1s infinite";
    }else{
animationDiv.style.animation = ""; // assuming you want to toggle
    }
});

#aD{ background-color:green;
 height:30px;
 margin:2px05px2px;}
 #cD{background-color:blue;}
@keyframes anim{
   0%{ background-color:green;}
  100%{ background-color:red;}
}
#aD:hover{animation: anim 1s infinite;
cursor:pointer;}

<divid="aD">animated div</div><divid="cD">click div</div>

change commented line for different anim
