Introduction:
Have you ever encountered a problem with browser compatibility that just wouldn’t go away? Our team at HikeBranding have faced a similar issue when our designers were trying to create hover animations for blog images, specifically when using Safari. While Chrome and Firefox performed the animations smoothly, Safari distorted the images and made the experience unpleasant.
The issue was that Safari wasn’t following the CSS properties that was set for the hover animation. HikeBranding Designers had to find a solution to make it work as intended.
After some troubleshooting, we found that adding “isolation: isolate” and “transform: translateZ(0)” CSS properties did the trick. These properties acted as a magic portion, making Safari render the animation correctly.
Example:
<div class=”project_details”>
<a href=”#”>
<img src=”image” alt=”image” />
</a>
</div>
.project_details {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
margin-bottom: 25px;
border-radius: 16px !important;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
isolation: isolate;
transform: translateZ(0);
}
.project_details:hover img {
transform: scale(1.4);
transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
border-radius: 16px !important; }
After making some changes, our designers decided to try using Safari again. To our delight, the hover animation worked perfectly, just like it did in Chrome and Firefox. This experience taught our designers, how important it is to be adaptable in web development. Sometimes, the solution may not come from conventional wisdom, but from unconventional tricks.
