[css] Transition color fade on hover?

I am trying to get this h3 to fade on hover. Can someone help me out?

HTML

<h3 class="clicker">test</h3>

CSS

.clicker {
    -moz-transition:color .2s ease-in;
    -o-transition:color .2s ease-in;
    -webkit-transition:color .2s ease-in;
    background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;
}

.clicker:hover{
    background:#eee;
}

The answer is


What do you want to fade? The background or color attribute?

Currently you're changing the background color, but telling it to transition the color property. You can use all to transition all properties.

.clicker { 
    -moz-transition: all .2s ease-in;
    -o-transition: all .2s ease-in;
    -webkit-transition: all .2s ease-in;
    transition: all .2s ease-in;
    background: #f5f5f5; 
    padding: 20px;
}

.clicker:hover { 
    background: #eee;
}

Otherwise just use transition: background .2s ease-in.


For having a trasition effect like a highlighter just to highlight the text and fade off the bg color, we used the following:

_x000D_
.field-error {_x000D_
    color: #f44336;_x000D_
    padding: 2px 5px;_x000D_
    position: absolute;_x000D_
    font-size: small;_x000D_
    background-color: white;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.highlighter {_x000D_
    animation: fadeoutBg 3s; /***Transition delay 3s fadeout is class***/_x000D_
    -moz-animation: fadeoutBg 3s; /* Firefox */_x000D_

    -o-animation: fadeoutBg 3s; /* Opera */_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
@keyframes fadeoutBg {_x000D_
    from { background-color: lightgreen; } /** from color **/_x000D_
    to { background-color: white; } /** to color **/_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
@-moz-keyframes fadeoutBg { /* Firefox */_x000D_
    from { background-color: lightgreen; }_x000D_
    to { background-color: white; }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
@-webkit-keyframes fadeoutBg { /* Safari and Chrome */_x000D_
    from { background-color: lightgreen; }_x000D_

_x000D_
@-o-keyframes fadeoutBg { /* Opera */_x000D_
    from { background-color: lightgreen; }_x000D_
