I came up with some kind of solution to the problem. It involves jquery and css. This works like toggle but instead of toggling the display of elements it just changes its properties upon alternate clicks. Upon clicking the div it rotates the element with tag 180 degrees and when you click it again the element with tag returns to its original position. If you want to change the animation duration just change transition-duration property.
CSS
#example1{
transition-duration:1s;
}
jQuery
$(document).ready( function () { var toggle = 1;
$('div').click( function () {
toggle++;
if ( (toggle%2)==0){
$('#example1').css( {'transform': 'rotate(180deg)'});
}
else{
$('#example1').css({'transform': 'rotate(0deg)'});
}
});
});
