CSS animation active doesn't continue?

Question

I've been trying to learn css animations and I'm starting to get a grip on them but I'm having an issue an animation effect. I have an animation class assigned to a section that is a download button when I click it the animation plays for the extent of the click, if i click and hold it plays the whole animation. I want the animation to play all the way through on on click, not a click and hold.

Heres the Html section the class is applied to:

<a href="software/ASC.exe">
                        <section id="download" class="animated" title="Download ASC">
                            Download
                        </section>
                    </a>

Here is the CSS animation class:

.animated { 

}
.animated:active {
    -webkit-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    -moz-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    -o-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    -ms-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    box-shadow:3px 1px 20px 4px #0099CC;
}

@-webkit-keyframes fadeOutUp {
0% {
    opacity: 1;
    -webkit-transform: translateY(0);
}

100% {
    opacity: 0;
    -webkit-transform: translateY(-20px);
}
}
@-moz-keyframes fadeOutUp {
0% {
    opacity: 1;
    -moz-transform: translateY(0);
}

100% {
    opacity: 0;
    -moz-transform: translateY(-20px);
}
}
@-o-keyframes fadeOutUp {
0% {
    opacity: 1;
    -o-transform: translateY(0);
}

100% {
    opacity: 0;
    -o-transform: translateY(-20px);
}
}
@keyframes fadeOutUp {
0% {
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
}

100% {
    opacity: 0;
    transform: translateY(-20px);
}
}

.fadeOutUp {
-webkit-animation-name: fadeOutUp;
-moz-animation-name: fadeOutUp;
-o-animation-name: fadeOutUp;
animation-name: fadeOutUp;
}

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

You could do it with jQuery

DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/Uj5gC/1/

$("#download").click(function () {
    $(this).addClass("animated1");
});

To reset the animation just remove the class after 2 seconds

DEMO http://jsfiddle.net/kevinPHPkevin/Uj5gC/4/

 $("#download").click(function () {
    $(this).addClass("animated1");
        setInterval(function () {
    $("#download").removeClass("animated1");
    }, 2000);

});

Just for the challenge, here's a CSS only option using :target

HTML

<a href="#" id="buttonLink">
  <section id="download" class="animated" title="Download ASC">
     Download
  </section>
</a>

CSS

.clicked {
    -webkit-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    -moz-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    -o-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    -ms-animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    animation:fadeOutUp 2s;
    box-shadow:3px 1px 20px 4px #0099CC;
}

JavaScript

var el = document.getElementById('buttonLink');
el.addEventListener('click', function(){
    document.getElementById('download').className = 'clicked';
})

Answer 3

A demo that uses javascript to add that 'animated' class. Anyone knows a way to do that from CSS (kinda' impossible though :D)? It'd be interesting. Plunk here http://plnkr.co/edit/IhkmgKQ9Od0dyb3HFuEv?p=preview

window.onload = function() {
    var btn = document.getElementById("download");

    btn.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
        this.className = "animated";
    });
}

Answer 4

You can archieve this in pure CSS by using :not(:active) instead of just .active.
