Start animation when scrolled to

28.8k Views Asked by WeBWeB At 15 April 2025 at 06:13

I have spend all day looking for an easy way to make my animation start after I have scrolled to a specific place on the page.

My css

.animation {
 width: 50%; 
 float: left; 
 position: relative; 
 -webkit-animation-name: test; 
 -webkit-animation-duration: 4s; 
 -webkit-animation-iteration-count: 3;
 -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards; 
 animation-name: test; 
 animation-duration: 4s; 
 animation-iteration-count: 1; 
 animation-fill-mode: forwards; }

And my HTML

<div class="container">

<div class="animation">

Content goes here...

</div>

</div>

I wonder how to make the animation start when I scroll to the class container.

Javascript

var $window = $(window);
var $elem = $(".animation")

function isScrolledIntoView($elem, $window) {
    var docViewTop = $window.scrollTop();
    var docViewBottom = docViewTop + $window.height();

    var elemTop = $elem.offset().top;
    var elemBottom = elemTop + $elem.height();

    return ((elemBottom <= docViewBottom) && (elemTop >= docViewTop));
}
$(document).on("scroll", function () {
    if (isScrolledIntoView($elem, $window)) {
        $elem.addClass("animate")
    }
});

HTML

<div class="container">
    <div class="animation">Content goes here...</div>
</div>

CSS

.animation.animate {
    animation: pulse 5s infinite;//change this to whatever you want
}

JSFiddle to play with (don't forget to scroll)

@WebWeb , you can try this simple formula :

$(window).on('scroll' , function(){
    scroll_pos = $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height();
    element_pos = $(yourelement).offset().top + $(yourelement).height() ;
    if (scroll_pos > element_pos) {
        $(yourelement).addClass('add-anim');
    };

})

It is basically checking if the windows scroll position is higher than that of the elements offset from the top of the document(plus the element's height) . It is an age-old formula.

If you are lazy like me though, you can go for waypoints.js an amazing library.

You can try wow.js it's quick and simple for integrate animation on scroll when element is visible on page. I create simple demo.

If there is anyone wants to use this for an animation that should run when you open the page, hover it, when you scroll and run again when you scroll back, here is how I solved it.

I used what @robert used and added some refinements.

I made this fiddle for this https://jsfiddle.net/hassench/rre4qxhf/

So there you go:

var $window = $(window);
var $elem = $(".my-image-container");
var $gotOutOfFrame = false;

function isScrolledIntoView($elem, $window) {
  var docViewTop = $window.scrollTop();
  var docViewBottom = docViewTop + $window.height();

  var elemTop = $elem.offset().top;
  var elemBottom = elemTop + $elem.height();

  return ((elemBottom <= docViewBottom) && (elemTop >= docViewTop) && $gotOutOfFrame);
}

function isScrolledOutView($elem, $window) {
  var docViewTop = $window.scrollTop();
  var docViewBottom = docViewTop + $window.height();

  var elemTop = $elem.offset().top;
  var elemBottom = elemTop + $elem.height();

  return ((elemBottom < docViewBottom) && (elemTop < docViewTop));
}
$(document).on("scroll", function() {
  if (isScrolledIntoView($elem, $window)) {
    $gotOutOfFrame = false;
    $elem.addClass("animate");
    $(function() {
      setTimeout(function() {
        $elem.removeClass("animate");

      }, 1500);
    });
  }
  if (isScrolledOutView($elem, $window)) {
    $gotOutOfFrame = true;
    $elem.removeClass("animate");
  }
});

.my-image-container {
  top: 50px;
  max-width: 22%;
}

.my-image-container:hover {
  animation: shake 0.82s cubic-bezier(0.36, 0.07, 0.19, 0.97) both;
  transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
  backface-visibility: hidden;
  perspective: 1000px;
}

.my-image-container .my-image {
  animation: shake 0.82s cubic-bezier(0.36, 0.07, 0.19, 0.97) both;
  -moz-animation-delay: 1s;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 1s;
  -o-animation-delay: 1s;
  animation-delay: 1s;
  transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
  backface-visibility: hidden;
  perspective: 1000px;
  width: 100%;
}

.animate {
  animation: shake 0.82s cubic-bezier(0.36, 0.07, 0.19, 0.97) both;
  -moz-animation-delay: 0.5s;
  -webkit-animation-delay: 0.5s;
  -o-animation-delay: 0.5s;
  animation-delay: 0.5s;
  transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
  backface-visibility: hidden;
  perspective: 1000px;
}

@keyframes shake {
  10%,
  90% {
    transform: translate3d(-1px, 0, 0);
  }
  20%,
  80% {
    transform: translate3d(2px, 0, 0);
  }
  30%,
  50%,
  70% {
    transform: translate3d(-4px, 0, 0);
  }
  40%,
  60% {
    transform: translate3d(4px, 0, 0);
  }
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
The animation will run when you firt open the page,<br> 

and when you hover it,<br> 

and when you scroll out then in. <br>

<div class="my-image-container">
  <img class="my-image" 
  src="http://www.lifeofpix.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/img-5831.jpg">
</div>
<br> Scroll down then back up
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
scroll up
