@Paulie: If we use the term state we need to defne it. And finding a complete and proper definition for it (in the context of a DOM element) can prove challenging. It is safer to say transitions refer to changes in value of animatable properties designated in transition-property.

attempt to make title look a bit more like the question, maybe side-step some of the knee-jerk reactions

| Dec 8, 2017 at 17:53 | comment | added | Ronald | @charlietfl I don't think my question breaks any rules, I believe my question meets all requirements of a "constructive subjective question" according to the help center. | |

| Dec 8, 2017 at 17:15 | comment | added | BoltClock | @Paulie_D: Yeah, I'm having trouble thinking of other ways to start transitions that don't require JS myself. But that's only because CSS itself is limited in that area; as you said, transitions are about state change, regardless of how that state change is invoked (JS or not). | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 17:12 | comment | added | Paulie_D | Ah...yes, I was thinking without JS but you make a good point. | |

| Dec 8, 2017 at 17:06 | comment | added | BoltClock | @Paulie_D: Transitions are just changes in property values. You can setTimeout a callback that changes a certain style property of an element, and it will start a transition. You can have the callback instead change a class, id or attribute of the element, or even move it around in the DOM tree, and if the stylesheet has rules setting different values for that property, it will also start a transition. I plan to expand on this in an answer with some examples. | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 17:03 | comment | added | Paulie_D | @BoltClock Does the question break down to "Is there a way to start transitions without interaction from the user?" - Arguably there must be some user interation to cause the state change....right? | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 16:55 | comment | added | BoltClock | The question is fine, it just needs a less close-baity title. But the answer is that you don't actually require a selector for a transition to occur. | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 16:50 | comment | added | charlietfl | This is asking for a tutorial on initializing transitions/animations and is too broad a scope based on site guidelines outlined in the help center | |
| Dec 8, 2017 at 16:49 | comment | added | Paulie_D | Transitions are only implemented on a change in state. That is not going to happen unless the user changes something. You might be asking about animations which are related but different. | |
