                <h1>Synching Animation Clocks with the Web Animation API</h1>
<p>This demo was made for <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/?p=210830">my post on Smashing Magazine about where web animation is headed.</a> It uses a <a href="https://github.com/web-animations/web-animations-js">polyfill</a> to enable the Web Animation API. (Psst: Check out the JavaScript and CSS to see how it's done.) To learn more about the Web Animation API, <a href="http://rachelnabors.com/waapi/">check out my WAAPI resource page!</a></p>
<div id="CSSCats">
  <h2>Cats animated with <br />CSS Animations</h2>
  <p>Currently, it is impossible to synch two separate animations with CSS animations. Try adding new cats animated with CSS below. Notice that they do not run in synch with each other.</p>
  <div class="cat withCSS"></div>
  <button onclick="animateNewCatWithCSS()">Add a Cat</button>
</div>

<div id="WAAPICats">
  <h2>Cats animated with the <br />Web Animation API</h2>
  <p>But with the Web Animation API, you're able to set the <code>startTime</code> value across animations to properly synch them. When you add cats with the Web Animation API, they run lockstep!</p>
  <div class="cat" id="withWAAPI"></div>
  <button onclick="animateNewCatWithWAAPI()">Add a Cat</button>
</div>

CSS

              
                /* All cats have the same dimensions and the same sprite for a background image. */
.cat {
  background: url(http://stash.rachelnabors.com/24ways2012/cat_sprite.png) -800px 0 no-repeat; 
  height: 200px; width: 400px;
}

/* The cats animated with CSS have their running animations set with CSS */
.cat.withCSS {
  animation: run-cycle;
  animation-duration: .75s;
  animation-timing-function: steps(13,end);
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}

/* The keyframes for the run cycle.
   This moves the background image sprite around. */

  0% {background-position: -800px 0; }
  100% {background-position: -800px -2591px; }
