animation-name

The animation-name CSS property specifies a list of animations that should be applied to the selected element. Each name indicates a @keyframes at-rule that defines the property values for the animation sequence.

It is often convenient to use the shorthand property animation to set all animation properties at once.

Initial value	none
Applies to	all elements, ::before and ::after pseudo-elements
Inherited	no
Media	visual
Computed value	as specified
Animation type	discrete
Canonical order	the unique non-ambiguous order defined by the formal grammar

Syntax

animation-name: none;
animation-name: test_05;
animation-name: -specific;
animation-name: sliding-vertically;

animation-name: test1;
animation-name: test1, animation4;
animation-name: none, -moz-specific, sliding;

animation-name: initial
animation-name: inherit
animation-name: unset

Values

<single-animation-name> is one of the following keywords:

none

Is a special keyword denoting no keyframes. It can be used to deactivate an animation without changing the ordering of the other identifiers, or to deactivate animations coming from the cascade.

<custom-ident>

A string identifying the animation. This identifier is composed by a combination of case-insensitive letters a to z, numbers 0 to 9, underscores (_), and/or dashes (-). The first non-dash character must be a letter (that is, no number at the beginning of it, even if preceded by a dash.) Also, two dashes are forbidden at the beginning of the identifier. It can't be none, unset, initial, or inherit in any combination of cases.

Formal syntax

[ none | <keyframes-name> ]#
where 
<keyframes-name> = <custom-ident> | <string>

Browser compatibility

[1] In addition to the unprefixed support, Gecko 44.0 (Firefox 44.0 / Thunderbird 44.0 / SeaMonkey 2.41) added support for a -webkit prefixed version of the property for web compatibility reasons behind the preference layout.css.prefixes.webkit, defaulting to false. Since Gecko 49.0 (Firefox 49.0 / Thunderbird 49.0 / SeaMonkey 2.46) the preference defaults to true.
