Baseline Widely available
The transitionstart
event is fired when a CSS transition has actually started, i.e., after any transition-delay
has ended.
This event is not cancelable.
SyntaxUse the event name in methods like addEventListener()
, or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("transitionstart", (event) => { })
ontransitionstart = (event) => { }
Event type Event properties
Also inherits properties from its parent Event
.
TransitionEvent.propertyName
Read only
A string containing the name CSS property associated with the transition.
TransitionEvent.elapsedTime
Read only
A float
giving the amount of time the transition has been running, in seconds, when this event fired. This value is not affected by the transition-delay
property.
TransitionEvent.pseudoElement
Read only
A string, starting with ::
, containing the name of the pseudo-element the animation runs on. If the transition doesn't run on a pseudo-element but on the element, an empty string: ''
.
This code adds a listener to the transitionstart
event:
element.addEventListener("transitionstart", () => {
console.log("Started transitioning");
});
The same, but using the ontransitionstart
property instead of addEventListener()
:
element.ontransitionstart = () => {
console.log("Started transitioning");
};
Live example
In the following example, we have a simple <div>
element, styled with a transition that includes a delay:
<div class="transition">Hover over me</div>
<div class="message"></div>
.transition {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: rgb(255 0 0 / 100%);
transition-property: transform, background;
transition-duration: 2s;
transition-delay: 1s;
}
.transition:hover {
transform: rotate(90deg);
background: rgb(255 0 0 / 0%);
}
To this, we'll add some JavaScript to indicate where the transitionstart
and transitionrun
events fire.
const transition = document.querySelector(".transition");
const message = document.querySelector(".message");
transition.addEventListener("transitionrun", () => {
message.textContent = "transitionrun fired";
});
transition.addEventListener("transitionstart", () => {
message.textContent = "transitionstart fired";
});
transition.addEventListener("transitionend", () => {
message.textContent = "transitionend fired";
});
