CSS multiple image fading - without (java) script

Question

Is it possible to cross 5 images in CSS without using a java script? I found a similar question: css3 image crossfade (without javascript) , however it only has a CSS snippet; which I tried but couldn't make it work. I am new to CSS, so I was unable to associate the CSS mentioned on the page above with the following HTML:

<div id= "crossfade"> <img class = "cone" src = "1.png" alt = "png"> <img class = "ctwo" src = "2.png" alt = "png"> <img class = "cthree" src = "3.png" alt = "png"> <img class = "cfour" src = "4.png" alt = "png"> <img class = "cfive" src = "5.png" alt = "png"> </div> 

Answer 1

This can be easily done with CSS3 if you know how many images you have.

jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hajmd/

 #crossfade > img { width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; color: transparent; opacity: 0; z-index: 0; -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; -webkit-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s; -moz-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s; -o-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s; -ms-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s; animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s; } 

"30s" in "-webkit-animation: imageAnimation 30s linear infinite 0s;" says that the animation for each image will last 30 seconds an infinite number of times.

 #crossfade > img:nth-child(2) { background-image: url(../images/2.jpg); -webkit-animation-delay: 6s; -moz-animation-delay: 6s; -o-animation-delay: 6s; -ms-animation-delay: 6s; animation-delay: 6s; } #crossfade > img:nth-child(3) { background-image: url(../images/3.jpg); -webkit-animation-delay: 12s; -moz-animation-delay: 12s; -o-animation-delay: 12s; -ms-animation-delay: 12s; animation-delay: 12s; } #crossfade > img:nth-child(4) { background-image: url(../images/4.jpg); -webkit-animation-delay: 18s; -moz-animation-delay: 18s; -o-animation-delay: 18s; -ms-animation-delay: 18s; animation-delay: 18s; } #crossfade > img:nth-child(5) { background-image: url(../images/5.jpg); -webkit-animation-delay: 24s; -moz-animation-delay: 24s; -o-animation-delay: 24s; -ms-animation-delay: 24s; animation-delay: 24s; } @-webkit-keyframes imageAnimation { 0% { opacity: 0; -webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-in; } 8% { opacity: 1; -webkit-animation-timing-function: ease-out; } 17% { opacity: 1 } 25% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @-moz-keyframes imageAnimation { 0% { opacity: 0; -moz-animation-timing-function: ease-in; } 8% { opacity: 1; -moz-animation-timing-function: ease-out; } 17% { opacity: 1 } 25% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @-o-keyframes imageAnimation { 0% { opacity: 0; -o-animation-timing-function: ease-in; } 8% { opacity: 1; -o-animation-timing-function: ease-out; } 17% { opacity: 1 } 25% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @-ms-keyframes imageAnimation { 0% { opacity: 0; -ms-animation-timing-function: ease-in; } 8% { opacity: 1; -ms-animation-timing-function: ease-out; } 17% { opacity: 1 } 25% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes imageAnimation { 0% { opacity: 0; animation-timing-function: ease-in; } 8% { opacity: 1; animation-timing-function: ease-out; } 17% { opacity: 1 } 25% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } 

Answer 2

The example you referenced should work for you in the example you referenced. However, keep in mind that CSS3 is not supported in all browsers (such as IE8 and IE7) and therefore will not work in these browsers.
