How to get the Apple Javascript Split Flap Counter to run on pure CSS_问答_开发者

How can I replicate apple's split flap counter without using the filmstrip image? I would like开发者_JS百科 to create something similar displaying words and other special characters.

Maybe using CSS transitions or css transforms?

Thanks.

I've implemented this using DIVs, setInterval, setTimeout and CSS3 (webkit-transform, animation, and keyframes).

Here's the rough code:

        @-webkit-keyframes spin {
          0% { -webkit-transform-origin: 100% 100%; -webkit-transform: rotateX(0deg) skew(0deg, 0deg); }
          100%   { -webkit-transform-origin: 100% 100%; -webkit-transform: rotateX(90deg) skew(5deg, 0deg); }
        }
        @-webkit-keyframes spin2 {
          0% { -webkit-transform-origin: 0% 0%; -webkit-transform: rotateX(90deg) skew(-5deg, 0deg); }
          100%   { -webkit-transform-origin: 0% 0%; -webkit-transform: rotateX(0deg) skew(0deg, 0deg); }
        }
        .box span { font-family: arial; font-weight:bold; font-size: 72px; display:inline-block; }
        .scale { -webkit-animation: spin 0.15s infinite linear; }
        .scale2 { -webkit-animation: spin2 0.15s infinite linear; }
        .dv { background-color: #FFF; border:1px solid #333; display:block; height:45px; width:80px; overflow:hidden; text-align: center; line-height:100%; }
        .dv > div > span { width:100%; vertical-align:middle }
        .dv > div { height:200%; }
        .down > div { position:relative; top:-100%; }
        .spn { position:absolute; }
        .spn.top { z-index:20 }

While not in pure CSS, someone has built a nice script to exactly replicate the functionality from Apple's site.
