Transition Code Challenge

Hi All,

I'm currently doing the CSS deep dive transition code challenge and can't get it to accept my CSS.

The mark up i'm using is 

.box {
    border-radius: 15px;
    background: #4682B4;
    -webkit-transition: border-radius;
        -webkit-animation-duration: 2s; 
    -webkit-transition-delay: 1s; 
    -webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
 }

.box:hover {
    background: #F08080;
    border-radius: 50%;

}

Hi Samuel,

You used the word animation a couple of times instead of transition

Also, I would recommend that you use the individual properties throughout or use the shorthand property only.

You used the shorthand property -webkit-transition: border-radius; rather than the individual property -webkit-transition-property: border-radius;

While this will work:

-webkit-transition: border-radius;
-webkit-transition-duration: 2s; 
-webkit-transition-delay: 1s; 
-webkit-transition-timing-function: linear;

This will not work: (notice the order change)

-webkit-transition-duration: 2s; 
-webkit-transition: border-radius;
-webkit-transition-delay: 1s; 
-webkit-transition-timing-function: linear;

When using the shorthand property, all the omitted values will be set back to their initial state. This means that you will lose the duration that you've already set.

I recommend instead that you either do this: (consistent use of individual properties)

-webkit-transition-property: border-radius;
-webkit-transition-duration: 2s; 
-webkit-transition-delay: 1s; 
-webkit-transition-timing-function: linear;

Or a single shorthand property:

-webkit-transition: border-radius 2s linear 1s;
