In the last two articles, we learned about animations in CSS and various ways to customize them with the help of iterations and animation delays. Now in today's article, we are going to learn more about them so that to customize them even more. Let's begin... Reverse Directions and Alternate Cycles The animation-direction property in CSS decides whether we want to play animation forward, backward or in alternate cycles. Following values are possible: normal - This is the default. Animation plays as normal(forward). reverse - The animation plays in reverse direction that is backward. alternate - The animation first plays forward and then backward. alternate-reverse - The animation first plays backward and then forward.

Let's see the example in which we are changing background-color as well as the position of the div element. To work this properly we are going to position property of div value relative so that we can change it using keyframes. @keyframes myAnimation { 0 % { background-color : blue ; left : 0px ; top : 0px ;} 25 % { background-color : red ; left : 200px ; top : 0px ;} 50 % { background-color : yellow ; left : 200px ; top : 200px ;} 75 % { background-color : green ; left : 0px ; top : 200px ;} 100 % { background-
