The transition-property CSS property is used to specify the names of CSS properties to which a transition effect should be applied.
/* Keyword values */ transition-property: none; transition-property: all; transition-property: test_05; transition-property: -specific; transition-property: sliding-vertically; transition-property: test1; transition-property: test1, animation4; transition-property: all, height, all; transition-property: all, -moz-specific, sliding; /* Global values */ transition-property: inherit; transition-property: initial; transition-property: unset;
If you specify a shorthand property (for example, background) all of its longhand sub-properties that can be animated will be.
| Initial value | all |
|---|---|
| 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
Values
none- No properties will transition.
all- All properties that can have an animated transition will do so.
IDENT- A string identifying the property to which a transition effect should be applied when its value changes. This identifier is composed by case-insensitive letters
atoz, numbers0to9, an underscore (_) or a dash(-). The first non-dash character must be a letter (that is: no number at the beginning of it, even preceded by a dash). Also, two dashes are forbidden at the beginning of the identifier.
Formal syntax
none | <single-transition-property>#where
<single-transition-property> = all | <custom-ident>

[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.
