Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨September 2015⁩.

The transition-property CSS property sets the CSS properties to which a transition effect should be applied.

Try it

transition-property: margin-right; 
transition-property: margin-right, color; 
transition-property: all; 
transition-property: none; 
<section id="default-example"> <div id="example-element">Hover to see<br />the transition.</div> </section> 
#example-element { background-color: #e4f0f5; color: black; padding: 1rem; border-radius: 0.5rem; font: 1em monospace; width: 100%; transition: margin-right 2s; } #default-example:hover > #example-element { background-color: #990099; color: white; margin-right: 40%; } 

If you specify a shorthand property (e.g., background), all of its longhand sub-properties that can be animated will be.
