It is possible to create little animation effects using CSS instead of JQuery. In this article, we are going to see a little loading animation effect using CSS without JQuery.

Introduction

We can use JQuery to provide wide variety of animation effects to the website. Lets try creating animation effects using CSS.

Objective

Our Objective is to create a bouncy animated loading effect that can beautify the loading bar using CSS.

Using the code in Aspx page

Just take a division in your aspx page and assign a class with name 'loader'.

<div class="loader">
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
</div>


Add the stylesheet link in your aspx page.
<link href="Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Using the code in CSS

Now use below code in your Style.css.
.loader {
    text-align: center;    
}
.loader span {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    margin: 50px auto;
    background: red;
    border-radius: 10px;
    -webkit-animation: loader 0.9s infinite alternate;
    -moz-animation: loader 0.9s infinite alternate;
}
.loader span:nth-of-type(2) {
    -webkit-animation-delay: 0.3s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 0.3s;
}
.loader span:nth-of-type(3) {
    -webkit-animation-delay: 0.6s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 0.6s;
}
.loader span:nth-of-type(4) {
    -webkit-animation-delay: 0.9s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 0.9s;
}
.loader span:nth-of-type(5) {
    -webkit-animation-delay: 1.2s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 1.2s;
}
.loader span:nth-of-type(6) {
    -webkit-animation-delay: 1.5s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 1.5s;
}
.loader span:nth-of-type(7) {
    -webkit-animation-delay: 1.8s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 1.8s;
}
.loader span:nth-of-type(8) {
    -webkit-animation-delay: 2.1s;
    -moz-animation-delay: 2.1s;
}
@-webkit-keyframes loader {
  0% {
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    opacity: 0.9;
    -webkit-transform: translateY(0);
  }
  100% {
    width: 24px;
    height: 24px;
    opacity: 0.1;
    -webkit-transform: translateY(-21px);
  }
}
@-moz-keyframes loader {
  0% {
    width: 10px;
    height: 10px;
    opacity: 0.9;
    -moz-transform: translateY(0);
  }
  100% {
    width: 24px;
    height: 24px;
    opacity: 0.1;
    -moz-transform: translateY(-21px);
  }
}

In the above Style.css, we have given the equal incrementing of time to all the spans of your aspx page.
