Multiple Image Cross Fading in CSS - Without (Java) Script

Multiple image cross fading in CSS - without (java) script

This can easily be done with CSS3 if you know how many images you have.

jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hajmd/

#crossfade > img { 
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    color: transparent;
    opacity: 0;
    z-index: 0;
    -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
    -webkit-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s;
    -moz-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s;
    -o-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s;
    -ms-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s;
    animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s; 
}

The "30s" at "-webkit-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s;" tells that the animation for each image will last 30 seconds in infinete number of times.

#crossfade > img:nth-child(2)  { 
    background-image: url(../images/2.jpg);
    -webkit-animation-delay: 6s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 6s;
    -o-animation-delay: 6s;
    -ms-animation-delay: 6s;
    animation-delay: 6s; 
}
#crossfade > img:nth-child(3) { 
    background-image: url(../images/3.jpg);
    -webkit-animation-delay: 12s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 12s;
    -o-animation-delay: 12s;
    -ms-animation-delay: 12s;
    animation-delay: 12s; 
}
#crossfade > img:nth-child(4) { 
    background-image: url(../images/4.jpg);
    -webkit-animation-delay: 18s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 18s;
    -o-animation-delay: 18s;
    -ms-animation-delay: 18s;
    animation-delay: 18s; 
}
#crossfade > img:nth-child(5) { 
    background-image: url(../images/5.jpg);
    -webkit-animation-delay: 24s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 24s;
    -o-animation-delay: 24s;
    -ms-animation-delay: 24s;
    animation-delay: 24s; 
}

@-webkit-keyframes imageAnimation { 
    0% { opacity: 0;
    -webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in; }
    8% { opacity: 1;
         -webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-out; }
    17% { opacity: 1 }
    25% { opacity: 0 }
    100% { opacity: 0 }
}

@-moz-keyframes imageAnimation { 
    0% { opacity: 0;
    -moz-animation-timing-function: ease-in; }
    8% { opacity: 1;
         -moz-animation-timing-function: ease-out; }
    17% { opacity: 1 }
    25% { opacity: 0 }
    100% { opacity: 0 }
}

@-o-keyframes imageAnimation { 
    0% { opacity: 0;
    -o-animation-timing-function: ease-in; }
    8% { opacity: 1;
         -o-animation-timing-function: ease-out; }
    17% { opacity: 1 }
    25% { opacity: 0 }
    100% { opacity: 0 }
}

@-ms-keyframes imageAnimation { 
    0% { opacity: 0;
    -ms-animation-timing-function: ease-in; }
    8% { opacity: 1;
         -ms-animation-timing-function: ease-out; }
    17% { opacity: 1 }
    25% { opacity: 0 }
    100% { opacity: 0 }
}

@keyframes imageAnimation { 
    0% { opacity: 0;
    animation-timing-function: ease-in; }
    8% { opacity: 1;
         animation-timing-function: ease-out; }
    17% { opacity: 1 }
    25% { opacity: 0 }
    100% { opacity: 0 }
}

CSS - Cross fading with multiple images on a webpage

the @keyframe rule works inside the animation property;

and you're not defining the animation property anywhere,
so to begin add
animation: cf4FadeInOut 8s; to #index_banner img selector.

Cross-Fade between images with CSS in loop

I have taken your fiddle as a base, and made it work without script.

updated demo

I needed to set an id to the HTML

.fadein img {
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    -webkit-animation-name: fade;
    -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    -webkit-animation-duration: 6s;
    animation-name: fade;
    animation-iteration-count: infinite;
    animation-duration: 6s;
}

@-webkit-keyframes fade {
    0% {opacity: 0;}
    20% {opacity: 1;}
    33% {opacity: 1;}
    53% {opacity: 0;}
    100% {opacity: 0;}
}
@keyframes fade {
    0% {opacity: 0;}
    20% {opacity: 1;}
    33% {opacity: 1;}
    53% {opacity: 0;}
    100% {opacity: 0;}
}

#f1 {
    background-color: lightblue;
}
#f2 {
    -webkit-animation-delay: -4s;
    background-color: yellow;
}
#f3 {
    -webkit-animation-delay: -2s;
    background-color: lightgreen;
}

<div class="fadein">
    <img id="f3" src="http://i.imgur.com/R7A9JXc.png">
    <img id="f2" src="http://i.imgur.com/D5yaJeW.png">
    <img id="f1" src="http://i.imgur.com/EUqZ1Er.png">
</div>

@keyframes cf4FadeInOut {
 
  40%,
  60% {
    opacity: 0;
  }
}

.App {
  display: grid;
  width: max-content;
  margin: auto;
}

.App img {
  grid-row: 1;
  grid-column: 1;
  animation-name: cf4FadeInOut;
  animation-timing-function: ease-in-out;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  animation-duration: 20s;
}

.App img:nth-of-type(1) {
  animation-delay: -15s;
}

.App img:nth-of-type(2) {
  animation-delay: -10s;
}

.App img:nth-of-type(3) {
  animation-delay: -5s;
}

.App img:nth-of-type(4) {
  animation-delay: 0s;
}

<div class="App">
