How to Fade In/Out Multiple Texts Using CSS/Jquery Like on Droplr

How to Fade In/Out multiple texts using CSS/jQuery like on Droplr?

I know that question is solved, but I thought it might be helpful for someone else so I decided to share xD

I was looking for something more smoother than the sugestion that here was presented, after spend a time looking i made my own solution

Here we will need to think a bit in terms of timeline of an keyframe, in that case the text will only be displayed when the another one has already completed his fade animation

div{  posititon: relative;}.js-nametag{  position: absolute;}.js-nametag:nth-child(1){  animation-name: fade;  animation-fill-mode: both;  animation-iteration-count: infinite;  animation-duration: 5s;  animation-direction: alternate-reverse;  }

.js-nametag:nth-child(2){  animation-name: fade;  animation-fill-mode: both;  animation-iteration-count: infinite;  animation-duration: 5s;  animation-direction: alternate;}
@keyframes fade{    0%,50% {      opacity: 0;}    100%{      opacity: 1;  }}

  <p class="js-nametag">Leandro de Lima</p>  <p class="js-nametag">Game Master</p>

JQuery text fade in fade out

You are appending text rather replacing it. I could figure out a minimal solution to this like below

$(document).ready(function() {    var counterText = ["First", "Second", "Third"];    var counter = 0;        setInterval(change, 1000);    function change() {        $('.detailsText').html(counterText[counter]);        counter++;        if(counter >= counterText.length) {           counter = 0;         }    }  })

 .quotes {height:45px !important;margin-top:-17.5px;margin-bottom:17.5px;border:1px solid #bec0c2;padding:10px 0px;}
.typeBg{height:44px;top:-10px;position:relative;padding:10px 15px;background-color:#004a65;color:white;width:140px;white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow:hidden;display:inline-block;}
.type{display:none;}.CTA,.details{border:1px solid #bec0c2;padding:10px 2px;top:-11px;position:relative;background-color:white;}    .CTA{height:41px !important;width:138px;text-align:right;white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow:hidden;display:inline-block;}.details{height:40px !important; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; overflow:hidden;width:736px;display:inline-block;}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script><h2 class="quotes"><span class="typeBg"><span class="type">.</span></span> <span class="details"><a href="#"><span class="detailsText">.</span></a></span> <span class="CTA"><a href="#"><span class="CTAText">.</span></a></span></h2>

Using CSS for a fade-in effect on page load

Method 1:

If you are looking for a self-invoking transition then you should use CSS 3 Animations. They aren't supported either, but this is exactly the kind of thing they were made for.

CSS

#test p {
    margin-top: 25px;
    font-size: 21px;
    text-align: center;

    -webkit-animation: fadein 2s; /* Safari, Chrome and Opera > 12.1 */
       -moz-animation: fadein 2s; /* Firefox < 16 */
        -ms-animation: fadein 2s; /* Internet Explorer */
         -o-animation: fadein 2s; /* Opera < 12.1 */
            animation: fadein 2s;
}

@keyframes fadein {
    from { opacity: 0; }
    to   { opacity: 1; }
}

/* Firefox < 16 */
@-moz-keyframes fadein {
    from { opacity: 0; }
    to   { opacity: 1; }
}

/* Safari, Chrome and Opera > 12.1 */
@-webkit-keyframes fadein {
    from { opacity: 0; }
    to   { opacity: 1; }
}

/* Internet Explorer */
@-ms-keyframes fadein {
    from { opacity: 0; }
    to   { opacity: 1; }
}

/* Opera < 12.1 */
@-o-keyframes fadein {
    from { opacity: 0; }
    to   { opacity: 1; }
}

Method 2:

Alternatively, you can use jQuery (or plain JavaScript; see the third code block) to change the class on load:

jQuery

$("#test p").addClass("load");

CSS

#test p {
    opacity: 0;
    font-size: 21px;
    margin-top: 25px;
    text-align: center;

    -webkit-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
       -moz-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
        -ms-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
         -o-transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
            transition: opacity 2s ease-in;
}

#test p.load {
    opacity: 1;
}

Plain JavaScript (not in the demo)

document.getElementById("test").children[0].className += " load";

Method 3:

Or, you can use the method that .Mail uses:

jQuery

$("#test p").delay(1000).animate({ opacity: 1 }, 700);

CSS

#test p {
    opacity: 0;
    font-size: 21px;
    margin-top: 25px;
    text-align: center;
}

Demo

Browser Support

jQuery 1.x: All modern browsers and Internet Explorer 6 (and later): http://jquery.com/browser-support/

jQuery 2.x: All modern browsers and Internet Explorer 9 (and later): http://jquery.com/browser-support/

This method is the most cross-compatible as the target browser does not need to support CSS 3 transitions or animations.
