HTML-CSS: Typewriter effect

HTML-CSS : Exercise-11 with Solution

Using HTML, CSS, JavaScript create a typewriter effect animation.

  • Define two animations, typing to animate the characters and blink to animate the caret.
  • Use the :after pseudo-element to add the caret to the container element.
  • Use JavaScript to set the text for the inner element and set the --characters variable containing the character count. This variable is used to animate the text.
  • Use white-space: nowrap and overflow: hidden to make content invisible as necessary.

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

</head>
<body>
<strong>Preview:</strong><br>
<div class="typewriter-effect">
  <div class="text" id="typewriter-text"></div>
</body>
</html>

CSS Code:

<style> 
.typewriter-effect {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  font-family: monospace;
}

.typewriter-effect > .text {
  max-width: 0;
  animation: typing 3s steps(var(--characters)) infinite;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.typewriter-effect:after {
  content: " |";
  animation: blink 1s infinite;
  animation-timing-function: step-end;
}

@keyframes typing {
  75%,
  100% {
    max-width: calc(var(--characters) * 1ch);
  }
}

HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day

What is the difference between id and class in CSS, and when should I use them?

Example:

<div id="header_id" class="header_class">
Text
</div>

#header_id {font-color:#fff}
.header_class {font-color:#000}

(Note that CSS uses the prefix # for IDs and . for Classes.)

However color was an HTML 4.01 <font> tag attribute deprecated in HTML 5. In CSS there is no "font-color", the style is color so the above should read:

Example:

<div id="header_id" class="header_class">
Text
</div>

#header_id {color:#fff}
.header_class {color:#000}

The text would be white.
