1 What about IE ?

Transitions seems great. Will IE9 support this ?

2 Great article

Loved the article. Did a great job of making transitions easier to understand. I ordered the book and can’t wait to get my grubby mitts on it.

3 Nice introduction

This was a really useful introduction. I think your point about browser support is a really good one – if something is essential then don’t use CSS3, but if it just subtly enhances the browsing experience then go for it.

Another benefit of using CSS3 like this is that, over time, it will hopefully encourage less tech-savvy users to upgrade their browsers when they see how much better some sites work in modern, standards-compliant browsers.

5 Browser-Support

@Dan:Very nice and interesting article about CSS3 transitions. By the way it’s working pretty nice with Firefox 4.0b7.

@Christophe: At the moment there excists no transitions support at the IE9b.

All those CSS3 features like transitions, transforms and animations will be an interesting way to interact with the users, without flash.

7 Transition timing for different events

This CSS3 transition stuff looks interesting, but I find it a bit annoying how transition timing is specified. What happens if I want to animate the background property of an element on :hover and :active, but I want to use different timing for each? Say I want to have a softer transition for the :hover, but I want the :active to change near instantly? As it’s currently implemented, you can change the property value for different events, but the timing will all be the same. How can a situation like this be handled?

8 Nice introduction

It’s a nice introduction (though it could use a little word on how the inverted transition is supposed to work or could be changed to something different).

What I’m really missing though is a fat warning against using these types of animations for functional animations. As properties like “height” can be adapted too it’s possible to hide content with no decent graceful fallback. You could argue that we’re all professionals and should know about that stuff already, but css3(/html5/new javascript) is drawing lots and lots of new people to the job which little prior understanding of the simple 3-way separation of content – style – function.

9 Gradients?

Great peek at the new book, Dan—Can’t wait to get my copy. Congrats!

Perhaps it’s covered later in the chapter, but combining CSS3 gradients with transitions doesn’t seem to work for me, though it seems to be listed as a supported property via background-image and I’m following spec… Any expert tips on making those happen?

10 Demos?

Just curious why you have posted videos of the stuff working instead of just having a live demo? That would have made it better.
