Snake-Like Moving Glow around an element
Dan Benjamin’s Question:
I am wondering how can you build a “snake like” effect around the rim of an object using javascript/css.
This effect will create an ever going animation around an object that looks like a tiny white slug moving on the rim of the object (looking like a glow)
(Will Edit this Question once I learn the correct phrasing)
I have a small CSS3 version of this:
A small container and an our snake:
<div id="cont"></div>
<div class="snake"></div>
And here is the CSS Magic:
#cont {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background: #000;
margin: 10px;
}
.snake {
width: 5px;
height: 5px;
background: #f00;
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
left: 15px;
animation: around 5s infinite;
}
@keyframes around
{
0% { left: 15px; top: 5px; }
25% { left: 165px; top: 5px; }
50% { top: 160px; left: 165px; }
75% { left: 15px; top: 160px; }
100% { top: 5px; left: 15px; }
}
