Animate an element When it enters the viewport

[benjino]

Are there any posts or howtos on animating an element when it enters the viewport? So, scrolling the page, it enters the viewport and then animates. I’ll figure out an animation but would like to know how to have an element only animate when it enters the viewport on scroll.

Hi @benjino

 

If you want to use a 3rd party library, ScrollMagic is good for that kind of thing. You can search the forum for "ScrollMagic" and you'll find lots of threads about it.

If you don't want a 3rd party library, @OSUblake has some options in this thread:

You may also want to keep an eye on this thread in which we're having a discussion about the new Intersection Observer API

 

Hopefully that gets you started. Happy tweening.

Thanks!

 

I was using viewportChecker and animate.css but today the latest version of Chrome for OSX wasn't cooperating. I'll try one of these.
