CSS3 animation-direction Property
Example
Do the animation once, then do the animation backwards:
animation-direction:alternate;
-webkit-animation-direction:alternate; /* Safari and Chrome */
-webkit-animation-direction:alternate; /* Safari and Chrome */
Try it yourself »
Browser Support
The animation-direction property is supported in Internet Explorer 10, Firefox, and Opera.
Safari and Chrome support an alternative, the -webkit-animation-direction property.
Note: The animation-direction property is not supported in Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions.
Definition and Usage
The animation-direction property defines whether or not the animation should play in reverse on alternate cycles.
If the animation-direction value is "alternate", the animation will be played as normal every odd time (1,3,5,etc..) and backwards every even time (2,4,6,etc...).
Note: If the animation is set to played only once, this property will have no effect.
