Trying to animate pseudoclass - Cannot tween a null target

[marius96]

Hi all, I'm trying to make animation in which the :before pseudo-class of the box is being scaled down when I click that button, but I can't seem to be able to do that.

:before renders correctly,  is there any way to make this work? If I place it on the .main-page div, it's working, but that's not what I'm looking for.

The codepen link is the barebones version of what I'm trying to achieve.

Hey marius, welcome to the forums.

 

In your pen I'm getting a "DOMException: Failed to read the 'cssRules' property from 'CSSStyleSheet': Cannot access rules" error. That's likely the issue.

 

In order to avoid the need for CSSRulePlugin, why not make the element a "real" element and not a psuedo-element?

 

P.S. Unless you need support for IE8, it's recommended to use the double colon :: for pseudo-elements.
