<time>
The <time>
CSS data type represents a time value expressed in seconds or milliseconds. It is used in animation
, transition
, and related properties.
Syntax
The <time>
data type consists of a <number>
followed by one of the units listed below. Optionally, it may be preceded by a single +
or -
sign. As with all dimensions, there is no space between the unit literal and the number.
Note: Although the number 0
is always the same regardless of unit, the unit may not be omitted. In other words, 0
is invalid and does not represent 0s
or 0ms
.
