How can I transition height: 0; to height: auto; using CSS?
I am trying to make a <ul> slide down using CSS transitions.
The <ul> starts off at height: 0;. On hover, the height is set to height:auto;. However, this is causing it to simply appear, not transition,
If I do it from height: 40px; to height: auto;, then it will slide up to height: 0;, and then suddenly jump to the correct height.
How else could I do this without using JavaScript?
#child0 {
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #dedede;
-moz-transition: height 1s ease;
-webkit-transition: height 1s ease;
-o-transition: height 1s ease;
transition: height 1s ease;
}
#parent0:hover #child0 {
height: auto;
}
#child40 {
height: 40px;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #dedede;
-moz-transition: height 1s ease;
-webkit-transition: height 1s ease;
-o-transition: height 1s ease;
transition: height 1s ease;
}
#parent40:hover #child40 {
height: auto;
}
h1 {
font-weight: bold;
}The only difference between the two snippets of CSS is one has height: 0, the other height: 40.
