JavaScript DOM Animation

Subject: JavaScript

JavaScript animations change element styles over time to create movement or visual effects.


Example 1: Move an Element Horizontally Using setInterval()


Example 2: Smooth Animation Using requestAnimationFrame()


Example 3: Animate Height and Width with CSS Transition


Key Takeaways

  • Animate DOM elements by changing style properties over time.
  • Use setInterval() and setTimeout() for basic animation timing.
  • Prefer requestAnimationFrame() for smooth, optimized animations.
  • Combine CSS transitions with JavaScript for refined effects.
  • Always clear intervals with clearInterval() to avoid performance issues.
