CSS3 and HTML5 are presenting some exciting opportunities for the future.  So I set out to test some of the features that are emerging.  The ability to do rounded corners and shadows has been around for awhile. With CSS3 it’s such a pleasure to be able to quickly add these.  Webkit specifically is now supporting animation capability. There are now options for styling that include quite a few animations. Hopefully this will get picked up in FireFox and standardized (it’s in the proposed spec for the w3c). Although I think we still need some work in terms of a dynamic set of N items, this is a good start. To be able to do this without any JavaScript or Flash at all is a pretty great step in the right direction for the web, oh and yes, this works on your iPhone.

First I setup some basic markup:

<div class="slideshow-example-frame">
	<img class="img1" src="2010-quattroporte-sport-gt-s-sedan_01-thumb.jpg" alt="2010 Quattroporte Sport GT-S" />
	<img class="img2" src="2010-grandcabrio-convertible_01-thumb.jpg" alt="2010 GrandCabrio" />
	<img class="img3" src="2010-grandturismo-s-automatic-coupe_01-thumb.jpg" alt="2010 GrandTurismo S" />
	<img class="img4" src="2010-grandturismo-s-coupe_01-thumb.jpg" alt="GrandTurismo S Coupe" />
</div>

Then I setup some basic CSS3 to do the rounded corners and shadows:

<style type="text/css">
	.slideshow-example-frame {
		-moz-border-radius: 7px;
		-webkit-border-radius: 7px;
		border-radius: 7px;
		-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
		-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
		box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
		width:420px;
		height:131px;
		margin:30px 30px 30px 22px;
		background-image:url(2010-grandturismo-s-coupe_01-thumb.jpg);
	}

	.slideshow-example-frame img {
		-moz-border-radius: 7px;
		-webkit-border-radius: 7px;
		border-radius: 7px;
		-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
		-webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
		-webkit-animation-duration:15s;
	}

	.slideshow-example-frame img {
		position:absolute;
		top:0;
		left:0;
		margin:30px;

	}
<style>

Next add the animation pieces:

<style type="text/css">
	.slideshow-example-frame .img1 {
		-webkit-animation-name: fadein1;
	}

	.slideshow-example-frame .img2 {
		-webkit-animation-name: fadein2;
	}

	.slideshow-example-frame .img3 {
		-webkit-animation-name: fadein3;
	}

	.slideshow-example-frame .img4 {
		-webkit-animation-name: fadein4;
	}

	@-webkit-keyframes fadein1 {
		0% {opacity:0;}
		5% {opacity:1;}
		25% {opacity:1;}
		100% {opacity:1;}
	}

	@-webkit-keyframes fadein2 {
		0% {opacity:0;}
		25% {opacity:0.0;}
		30% {opacity:1;}
		50% {opacity:1;}
		100% {opacity:1;}
	}

	@-webkit-keyframes fadein3 {
		0% {opacity:0;}
		50% {opacity:0;}
		55% {opacity:1;}
		75% {opacity:1;}
		100% {opacity:1;}
	}

	@-webkit-keyframes fadein4 {
		0% {opacity:0;}
		75% {opacity:0;}
		80% {opacity:1;}
		100% {opacity:1;}
	}
<style>
