Float:right property not producing desired results in CSS3 - html

I have some HTML5/CSS3 code, in which I want to float the #rightodwnblock image right. I have added the float: right property to the code but for some reason the image still floats to the left. I can see nothing within the code that would cause this to happen, so I'm wondering if the issue might be server-side? It's up for testing here:
http://www.orderofthemouse.co.uk/JavascriptTesting4Client/index.html
The in-progress code is shown below:

<img id=”rightodwnblock” height=”100px” width=”100px” src="littlelogo.png" title="Do Not Click Here" alt="Do Not Click Here"></div>
</body>
</html>
Update: I have added a float-right class to the code, so the img tag properties read as follows:
<img class="float-right submit-button" id="rightodwnblock" height="100px" width="100px" src="littlelogo.png" title="Do Not Click Here" alt="Do Not Click Here"></div>
This hasn't helped either. The revised code has been uploaded to the server.
Update 2: I have altered the quote tags as suggested in one of the answers below and updated the code above to reflect this change. It hasn't solved the original issue.

Your problem appears to be that your text editor is not inserting quotation marks in a web-standard format.
So instead of this:
<img id=”rightodwnblock” ...></div>
Which the browser interprets as this:
<img id="”rightodwnblock”" ...></div>
When you should be using this:
<img id="rightodwnblock" ...></div>
Another problem is that you have not "ended" your css blocks; you are missing a } at the end right here:
#keyframes scroll-up {
0% {
-moz-transform: translateY(100%); /* Browser bug fix */
-webkit-transform: translateY(100%); /* Browser bug fix */
transform: translateY(100%);
}
100% {
-moz-transform: translateY(-100%); /* Browser bug fix */
-webkit-transform: translateY(-100%); /* Browser bug fix */
transform: translateY(-100%);
}
} /* <-- RIGHT HERE */
#rightodwnblock {
top: 100px;
float: right;
}
This caused the #rightodwnblock style to be ignored by the browser.

What are you using for a text editor? It looks like your code is using 'smart quotes' in certain places, such as the ID, height, and width attributes on the img tag. The smart quotes are causing the ID attribute to be declared as id=""rightodwnblock"".
If you are using something like TextEdit to edit your code you want to ensure you have it set to edit in plain text instead of rich text, as rich text editors will sometimes replace standard quotes with smart quotes.

Why does 'transform:rotate(Xdeg)' cause the animation to stop?

I tried to rotate an animated font arrow when the window reached a min/max size, but when the rotate takes place the animation stops, also just for testing I tried replacing transform: rotate(90deg) to transform: rotate(0deg) which maintains the same arrow's direction but it causes to stop the animation too. The issue is with transform: rotate() and it can be easily tested by inspecting the element and activating/deactivating it in the browsers developer tools.
An easy way to bypass this can be using two <p> each one with an arrow in different direction and with vertical and horizontal animation each, and using display: none; to alternate between them when the min/max size switches, but what I want is to know why this is happening and how to solve this using this approach
.text-center {
text-align: center;
}
.lnr-x3 {
font-size: 2.4rem;
}
#media (max-width: 991px) {
#catalogArrow_h {
transform: rotate(90deg) !important;
transform-origin: center !important;
}
}

Why does this happen
The transform property is "shared" for many transform functions and css doesn't combine any property's values.
Because your animation is made with transform: translateX(..), adding transform: rotate(..) will overwrite the property's value, not combine them. I.e. the resulting style is transform: rotate(..), not transform: translateX(..) rotate(..).
It would be the same if you were animating the box-shadow and then wanted an inset box-shadow too, it would overwrite one with the other. Or more simply - if you have .box { color: red; color: blue; } css will choose the last value (blue) to apply to the color property.
If there were css properties rotate: 90deg and translate: 4px (there are but not widely supported), then your animation would work, because the translate animation would be applying to a different property than the rotation, not overwriting one that is essentially shared amongst many transform functions.
Ways around it
There are many ways around this problem.
You can set the translate or rotate on the parent element
<div class="rotate-90">
<span class="translate-animate"></span>
</div>
You can add the rotate to your translate animation properties:
#keyframes movingHorizontallyRotated {
0%, 100% { transform: translateX(0px) rotate(90deg); }
50% { transform: translateX(-10px) rotate(90deg); }
}
You can animate a different property to translate the element:
#keyframes movingHorizontally {
0%, 100% { padding: 5px 10px 5px 0px; }
50% { padding: 5px 0px 5px 10px; }
}
You can use/make an already rotated arrow if your framework/ assets provides one.

How to overlay div above html form?

I want to display an animated loading icon when the user have submitted a search.
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS I'M LOOKING FOR:
USER SUBMITTED A SEARCH
MAKE LOADING ICON VISIBLE
MAKE LOADING ICON INVISIBLE ONCE THE SEARCH IS COMPLETED
The issue I'm facing is mostly css.
Firstly, the loading icon seems to be behind the form element.
Secondly, I cannot increase the size of the div (searchEngineForm) to have the same size as the form.
Lastly, I cannot set div (searchEngineForm) width to 100%. It goes outside of the form.
Here is my code:
HTML:
<form action="setJobFields" method="POST">
<div id="searchEngineForm" style="display: none;">
<div class="loader">
</div>
</div>
...
</form>
CSS:
#searchEngineForm{
position: absolute;
/* width: 100%; */
}
.loader {
border: 16px solid #f3f3f3;
border-radius: 50%;
border-top: 16px solid #3498db;
width: 120px;
height: 120px;
-webkit-animation: spin 2s linear infinite; /* Safari */
animation: spin 2s linear infinite;
}
/* Safari */
#-webkit-keyframes spin {
0% { -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
#keyframes spin {
0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
To set an html element above others, you could set its Z-index to a higher number than what’s around it.
For example, say you’re wanting to display your loading symbol in front of the rest of the page. You could contain the whole page in a single div, for the sake argument we give it a class of “page”, we can set it as:
.page{ z-index: -1 ;}
And the loader as
.loader{ z-index: 1; }
Then, to position it where you want, you can set the position to absolute and move it around with the top and left properties, such as
.loader{ z-index:1; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; }

Border-radius doesn't work when background isn't applied

Why does border-radius not work when background is not applied onto the animation.
The border radius only works when a background is applied at 0%-50%-100%. Without the background color the border-radius doesn't work.
I expect the border-radius to change from a square to a circle and then back to a square.
.square {
/* Set up the normal state */
display: block;
width:350px;
height:350px;
margin: 200px auto;
background:#41A9F0;
/* apply the animation */
animation: box 5s linear infinite;
}
#keyframes box {
0% {
transform: rotate(0) scale(0.2);
/* background: #41A9F0; */
border-radius: 0%;
}
50% {
transform: rotate(180deg) scale(2);
/* background: #5ABE8A; */
border-radius: 50%;
}
100% {
transform: rotate(360deg) scale(0.2);
/* background: #41A9F0; */
border-radius: 0%;
}
}

<title>Shape Animation Challenge</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- HINTS
1) Open shape-animation-ANSWER.html in your browser and try to create the final product.
2) Create a keyframe named box.
3) There are three points to this animation, starts off as a square, then a circle (background color for the circle is #5ABE8A), then back to a square.
Hint: You will need the properties border-radius and transform -->
<div class="square"></div>
</body>
</html>
Without any background color you can't see the animation but it still persist.
Here an example with your animation applied also to a div without background color but with border (to see what happen)
https://jsfiddle.net/cjohm3xb/1/
.square-border {
border:1px solid red;
/* apply the animation */
animation: box 8s linear infinite;
}
I have tested your code in Chrome 75.0.3770.142 and Edge 44.17763.1.0. You have provided a coloured div, so you can see the animation. Try to remove the background and add a child, which can be a text or something else, then you'll see the same effect. If you remove background and all the children, obviously you "will see" an empty animated div, which translates to nothing on screen actually!
I tried playing with keyframes, backgrounds and border radiuses. The page seems to work correctly. Check this stylesheet:
.square {
/* Set up the normal state */
display: block;
width:350px;
height:350px;
margin: 200px auto;
/* apply the animation */
background: #41A9F0;
animation: box 5s linear infinite;
}
#keyframes box {
0% {
transform: rotate(0) scale(0.2);
background: #41A9F0;
border-radius: 0%;
}
10% {
background: green;
border-radius: 50%;
}
25% {
background: blue;
border-radius: 10%;
}
50% {
background: red;
transform: rotate(180deg) scale(2);
border-radius: 30%;
}
100% {
transform: rotate(360deg) scale(0.2);
background: yellow;
border-radius: 0%;
}
}
Remember that percentage values for border radius go from 0 to 50. Anything above 50 is simply 50.

How to prevent logo from causing navigation bar from jittering while it's loading

I've been trying to find a solution for a while now but none seem to work.
The issue I am having happens when navigating to any and all the pages on the site- it's very annoying.
While I would expect that site images take time to load, this loading affects my navigation bar and the loading of my site's logo. For the time that it takes each page to load, my site's logo is completely absent- this causes my navigation bar to be shifted all the way up until the logo appears. This usually takes about a split second but it's also completely dependent on the user's internet connection).
How do I prevent this from happening? This causes my entire site to "bounce" when navigating, with all the content being shifted up for a brief moment while the logo is absent.
Give your image tag an absolute height attribute. This will make the browser keep the img tag the height it should be and allow the elements to load in the proper place.
You can also try tweaking a loader to have the page load only when all of the elements in the page have loaded. Something as simple as this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
/* Center the loader */
#loader {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
z-index: 1;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin: -75px 0 0 -75px;
border: 16px solid #f3f3f3;
border-radius: 50%;
border-top: 16px solid #3498db;
width: 120px;
height: 120px;
-webkit-animation: spin 2s linear infinite;
animation: spin 2s linear infinite;
}
#-webkit-keyframes spin {
0% { -webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { -webkit-transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
#keyframes spin {
0% { transform: rotate(0deg); }
100% { transform: rotate(360deg); }
}
/* Add animation to "page content" */
.animate-bottom {
position: relative;
-webkit-animation-name: animatebottom;
-webkit-animation-duration: 1s;
animation-name: animatebottom;
animation-duration: 1s
}
#-webkit-keyframes animatebottom {
from { bottom:-100px; opacity:0 }
to { bottom:0px; opacity:1 }
}
#keyframes animatebottom {
from{ bottom:-100px; opacity:0 }
to{ bottom:0; opacity:1 }
}
#myDiv {
display: none;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body onload="myFunction()" style="margin:0;">
<div id="loader"></div>
<div style="display:none;" id="myDiv" class="animate-bottom">
<h2>Tada!</h2>
<p>Some text in my newly loaded page..</p>
</div>
<script>
var myVar;
function myFunction() {
myVar = setTimeout(showPage, 3000);
}
function showPage() {
document.getElementById("loader").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("myDiv").style.display = "block";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
With some modification, can help the UI experience!

CSS Keyframes - Animation commences after content has already statically appeared

I've been trying to teach myself some css animations with keyframes, and I'm trying to create something in which a small square drops down, then out of that square, a rentangle protrudes from the left, it then displays some text after 8 or so seconds and then the rentangle retreats back into the smaller square (to the right) and the smaller square retreats upwards into 'thin air'. If you're wondering what this is for it's an alert notification when someones follows me on Twitch TV while I livestream. Here is a JSFiddle of my efforts so far. For some reason on JSFiddle the content doesn't appear before the animation, however on the the alert service i use it does happen. I've linked their tester here, so you can see what I mean.
HTML CODE:
<html>
<head>
<title>GR412 Twitch Follower Alert</title>
<link href="Twitch\followeralert.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div class="follower-container">
<div class="left-square-container">
</div>
<div class="right-retangle-container">
<div class="header">
<span class='keyword name'>{name}</span> is now following you!
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS CODE:
#keyframes slideInFromAbove {
0% {
transform: translateY(-100%);
}
100% {
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
#keyframes slideInFromTheLeft {
0% {
transform: translateX(-100%);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(0);
}
}
#keyframes slideInFromBelow {
0% {
transform: translateY(0);
}
100% {
transform: translateY(100%);
}
}
#keyframes slideInFromTheRight {
0% {
transform: translateX(0);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(100%);
}
}
.follower-container {
display: flex;
font-family: 'Roboto';
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%) translateY(-50%);
}
.left-square-container {
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
background: #313131;
animation: 1s 1s 1 slideInFromAbove;
}
.right-retangle-container {
width: 500px;
height: 75px;
background: #212121;
animation: 1s 2s 1 slideInFromTheLeft;
}
.header {
font-size: 24px;
color: #ffffff;
text-align: center; /*vertical alignment of text*/
position: relative; /*horizontal alignment of text*/
top: 50%; /*horizontal alignment of text*/
transform: translateY(-50%); /*horizontal alignment of text*/
margin: 10px,
10px,
10px,
10px; /*GOT TO HERE, THIS COULD BE CAUSING TWITCHING*/
}
.keyword:not(.user_message) {
color: #0d47a1;
}
However there are some issues, first being that the content appears first, then does the animation. I would like it so you start with an empty screen and then the animation ensures that the square drops down first, then the rentangle protrudes from the square and finally the text is displayed. These three components should hold for 8 seconds then as already described another animation should hide each component in the order specified in the first paragraph.
The second issue is that when the rentangle protrudes, it doesn't do it from the right hand edge of the square, rather it does it from the left. So it overlaps the square, which ruins the effect.
I've based my code off this exsisting question:css3 transition animation on load?, which has helped a lot, but it doesn't help with my specifc needs.
Any help would be appreicated, and if something isn't clear let me know.
Note, if the second link doesn't work, let me know and i'll sort it.
Thanks, GR412.
Issue 1: You need to set the styles of the initial placement for the content.
Issue 2: position: relative; z-index: /*some value*/ So you can properly layer the content.
You also need to use animation-fill-mode: forwards
This sets the end styles to the end styles of #keyframes associate with it.
I've tweaked your timing. Here's a plnkr of it. Read the comments in the CSS
You end up having to calculate percentages. I would consider working out a calculation that can accept variables for scss/less/sass etc.
CSS comments:
/*
to calculate these percentages:
([seconds of portion of animation] x 100)/[total seconds of animation]
1) slideInFromAbove starts
2) slideInFromTheLeft starts
3) slideInFromTheLeft ends
4) slideInFromAbove ends
slideInFromAbove:
1) slide down
2) hold
2) slide up
slideInFromTheLeft:
1) slide right
2) hold
3) slide left
*/
