Browser Support

The animation-direction property is supported in Internet Explorer 10, Firefox, and Opera.

Definition and Usage

The animation-direction property defines whether or not the animation should play in reverse on alternate cycles.

If the animation-direction value is "alternate", the animation will be played as normal every odd time (1,3,5,etc..) and backwards every even time (2,4,6,etc...).

Note: If the animation is set to played only once, this property will have no effect.
