Sexy Link Transformations with CSS
I was recently visiting MooTools Developer Christoph Pojer’s website and noticed a sexy link hover effect: when you hover the link, the the link animates and tilts to the left or the right. To enhance the effect, the background color of the link is changed. I scoped out his JavaScript file to see how he created the effect but there were no link effects in it — the effects were being created with just CSS! .sexy-links a { display: inline-block; padding: 4px; outline: 0; color: #3a599d; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.25s; -moz-transition-duration: 0.25s; -o-transition-duration: 0.25s; transition-duration: 0.25s; -webkit-transition-property: -webkit-transform; -moz-transition-property: -moz-transform; -o-transition-property: -o-transform; transition-property: transform; -webkit-transform: scale(1) rotate(0); -moz-transform: scale(1) rotate(0); -o-transform: scale(1) rotate(0); transform: scale(1) rotate(0); } .sexy-links a:hover { background: #3a59
