Reset Background color CSS Ask Question Asked 7 years, 11 months ago Modified 7 years, 11 months ago Viewed 5k times Report this ad This question shows research effort; it is useful and clear 2 This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful Save this question. Show activity on this post. I am developing a project where I am supposed to make a particular part of div flash, (or blink only once) The HTML : <p style="color:#f47321; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;" id="divtoBlink" >Current Price</p> and the CSS <style> #divtoBlink{ background: #008800; animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-name: blink; animation-iteration-count: 1; animation-direction: alternate; } @keyframes blink { from { opacity: 1; } to { opacity: 0; } } </style> It blinks, and changes colour to green. But the color stays green. I want to reset the background: #008800; to white or transparent again. Is there a property or tweak that I can use? Any help is appreciated. htmlcsscss-animations ShareShare a link to this question Copy linkCC BY-SA 3.0 Follow Follow this question to receive notifications edited Oct 5, 2015 at 12:08 Harry 87.6k2525 gold badges203203 silver badges215215 bronze badges asked Oct 5, 2015 at 11:58 ShahsaysShahsays 42111 gold badge77 silver badges2525 bronze badges 3 why not use jquery ? – Farrukh Faizy Oct 5, 2015 at 12:00 6 @MuhammadFarrukhFaizy: Because these sort of things can be handled without using jQuery. – Harry Oct 5, 2015 at 12:01 @MuhammadFarrukhFaizy Why not use Assembler? Yes right, because it is much to complicated to get such a task done using Asembler. Or a scripting language incl. a complete application framework (like jQuery)… – feeela Oct 5, 2015 at 12:19 Add a comment  |  2 Answers 2 Sorted by: Reset to default Highest score (default) Trending (recent votes count more) Date modified (newest first) Date created (oldest first) This answer is useful 5 This answer is not useful Save this answer. Show activity on this post. I think what you need is only for the background to become transparent after blink and for the text to remain visible. If that is the case, use the below snippet. When opacity is animated from 1 to 0, the whole element along with its content would become invisible. Instead, animating just the background should be enough. #divtoBlink { background: #008800; animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-name: blink; animation-iteration-count: 1; animation-direction: alternate; animation-fill-mode: forwards; } @keyframes blink { from { background: #008800; } to { background: transparent; } } <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prefixfree/1.0.7/prefixfree.min.js"></script> <p style="color:#f47321; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;" id="divtoBlink">Current Price</p> Run code snippetHide resultsExpand snippet Original Answer: All that is needed is to add animation-fill-mode: forwards so that the element holds the state as at its final keyframe (which is opacity: 0 or transparent). Currently the animated element reverts back to its original state (background: #008800) once the animation is complete. #divtoBlink { background: #008800; animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-name: blink; animation-iteration-count: 1; animation-direction: alternate; animation-fill-mode: forwards; } @keyframes blink { from { opacity: 1; } to { opacity: 0; } } <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/prefixfree/1.0.7/prefixfree.min.js"></script> <p style="color:#f47321; font-size:16px; font-weight:bold;" id="divtoBlink">Current Price</p> Run code snippetHide resultsExpand snippet ShareShare a link to this answer Copy linkCC BY-SA 3.0 Follow Follow this answer to receive notifications edited Oct 5, 2015 at 12:15 answered Oct 5, 2015 at 12:04 HarryHarry 87.6k2525 gold badges203203 silver badges215215 bronze badges 4 Well,after blinking it faded out everything inside the div tag. – Shahsays Oct 5, 2015 at 12:10 1 @FaizanShah: Yes, isn't that what you wanted? If not, can you please clarify more. (Edit: I think you are maybe looking for only the background to become transparent but content to be visible. If yes, please refer the first snippet in my answer now.) – Harry Oct 5, 2015 at 12:11 You see this is a label which is supposed to say Current Price. applying css, the color changes to green, but stays green. applying your method, it removes the green AND the current price. – Shahsays Oct 5, 2015 at 12:14 @FaizanShah: Glad to be of help.

I think in your situation it is easier to change the pattern. the initial color is white, then let it blink to green and reset again to your wished color (white or transparent). easy solution via custom defined keyframes. (look at the fiddle) #divtoBlink{ background: #fff; animation-duration: 1000ms; animation-name: blink; animation-iteration-count: 1; animation-direction: alternate; } @keyframes blink { 0% { background: #008800;} 50% { background: #fff;} // optional sugar any color between.. 100% { background: #fff; } } http://jsfiddle.net/a2pg246h/ ShareShare a link to this answer Copy linkCC BY-SA 3.0 Follow Follow this answer to receive notifications answered Oct 5, 2015 at 12:14 MarcMarc 2,66933 gold badges3434 silver badges4141 bronze badges 0 Add a comment  |  Your Answer StackExchange.ifUsing("editor", function () { StackExchange.using("externalEditor", function () { StackExchange.using("snippets", function () { StackExchange.snippets.init();
