Stopping a CSS3 Animation on last frame

Closed 4 years ago.
I have finally made my background image fade in when my webpage loads, and now I want the animation to be a little delayed so you are able to se the background color for a moment.
I have tried to use the "animation-delay: 2s;" thing in css, but when the page loads, the image is already shown and the animation just starts after 2 seconds. This means that the image is shown, then disappears and then do the animation. I then tried to set the image to "opacity: 0;", but then problem just turns around. So now the image isn't shown to begin with, then the animation tuns, but after that the image disappears again
html:
<div class="imageThing">
</div>
css:
/* attempt 1 */
.imageThing {
background: #fff url('image') 0px 0px no-repeat ;
background-size: 100vw 30.15vw;
-webkit-animation: fadein 3s; /* Safari and Chrome */
-moz-animation: fadein 3s; /* Firefox */
-ms-animation: fadein 3s; /* Internet Explorer */
-o-animation: fadein 3s; /* Opera */
animation: fadein 3s;
animation-delay: 2s;
height: 30.15vw;
width: 100vw;
position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px;
}
#keyframes fadein {
from { opacity: 0; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}
/* Firefox */
#-moz-keyframes fadein {
from { opacity: 0; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}
/* Safari and Chrome */
#-webkit-keyframes fadein {
from { opacity: 0; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}
/* Internet Explorer */
#-ms-keyframes fadein {
from { opacity: 0; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}​
/* Opera */
#-o-keyframes fadein {
from { opacity: 0; }
to { opacity: 1; }
}​
/* attempt 2 */
.imageThing {

I need the image to be invisible until a number of seconds after the page loads until the animation begins, and then stay visible. I hobe you can help me :)

You can add animation-fill-mode: both to hold the animation before and after.
.imageThing {
animation-fill-mode: both;
}
