Pure CSS animation visibility with delay

by

You are correct in thinking that display is not animatable. It won’t work, and you shouldn’t bother including it in keyframe animations.

visibility is technically animatable, but in a round about way. You need to hold the property for as long as needed, then snap to the new value. visibility doesn’t tween between keyframes, it just steps harshly.

.ele {
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
  
  background-color: #ff6699;
  animation: 1s fadeIn;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards;
  
  visibility: hidden;
}

.ele:hover {
  background-color: #123;
}

@keyframes fadeIn {
  99% {
    visibility: hidden;
  }
  100% {
    visibility: visible;
  }
}
<div class="ele"></div>

If you want to fade, you use opacity. If you include a delay, you’ll need visibility as well, to stop the user from interacting with the element while it’s not visible.

.ele {
  width: 60px;
  height: 60px;
  
  background-color: #ff6699;
  animation: 1s fadeIn;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards;
  
  visibility: hidden;
}

.ele:hover {
  background-color: #123;
}

@keyframes fadeIn {
  0% {
    opacity: 0;
  }
  100% {
    visibility: visible;
    opacity: 1;
  }
}
<div class="ele"></div>

Both examples use animation-fill-mode, which can hold an element’s visual state after an animation ends.
