The animation-name
CSS property specifies the names of one or more @keyframes
at-rules describing the animation or animations to apply to the element.

It is often convenient to use the shorthand property animation
to set all animation properties at once.
Syntax
/* Single animation */ animation-name: none; animation-name: test_05; animation-name: -specific; animation-name: sliding-vertically; /* Multiple animations */ animation-name: test1, animation4; animation-name: none, -moz-specific, sliding; /* Global values */ animation-name: initial animation-name: inherit animation-name: unset
Values
none
- A special keyword denoting no keyframes. It can be used to deactivate an animation without changing the ordering of the other identifiers, or to deactivate animations coming from the cascade.
<custom-ident>
- A name identifying the animation. This identifier is composed of a combination of case-sensitive letters
a
toz
, numbers0
to9
, underscores (_
), and/or dashes (-
). The first non-dash character must be a letter. Also, two dashes are forbidden at the beginning of the identifier. Furthermore, the identifier can't benone
,unset
,initial
, orinherit
.
Note: When you specify multiple comma-separated values on an animation-*
property, they will be assigned to the animations specified in the animation-name
property in different ways depending on how many there are. For more information, see Setting multiple animation property values.
