Best Way To Prevent Transitions From Reversing?

[Tom Houy]

I am using a Transition effect on a :hover event, but I don’t want the effect to play in reverse when I move my mouse off the element. I just want it to immediately reset to it’s original state. The only way I can seem to accomplish this right now is to add another transition to the original element, and set it to 0 seconds such as in the example code below. Is this the ideal way to accomplish this or am I missing something?

.mystyle p {
transition: all 0s;
}

.mystyle:hover p {
transition: all 1s ease-out 0s;
}

Here is an example of the transition occurring both when I mouse over and off the container:

Here is an example with the extra transition properties added to try and get rid of the reverse transition:

As I mentioned, it works, but I wanted to know if this is the best method to accomplish this.

If you only transition on the hover it does snap back.

Perfect, that’s what I was looking for. Thanks!

I was building the transitions in Dreamweaver CC, and by default they were adding them to the other class.
