CSS animation-play-state Property


CSS animation-play-state property specifies if the animation is running or it is paused. If you resume a paused animation it will start from where it was left off at the time it was paused, rather than starting from the beginning of the animation sequence. Also, you can run the animation from a paused state.

When multiple comma-separated values are specified for any animation property, they will be attached to the animations that are defined in animation-name differently.

The animation-play-state property is one of the CSS3 properties.

In JavaScript, this property can be used for pausing the animation in the middle of a cycle.
