Image Flip with jQuery CSS
by Vincy. Last modified on July 12th, 2022.
In this tutorial, we are going to see how to flip an image using jQuery and CSS. In a previous tutorial, we have seen various jQuery animation to rotate image.
In this example, we are flipping images in a horizontal direction using a 3D transform. We are using the CSS transform property to flip images in X-axis. This CSS property will be set via jQuery.
Image Flip HTML and CSS
This code shows HTML markup for the flippable image.
<div id="flip-box">
<img src="fixed_bg.jpg">
</div>
<div id="flip-link" class="demo-submit">
Flip the Image
</div>
and the styles are,
<style>
#flip-box {
width: 200px;
height: 150px;
transition: 0.9s;
transform-style: preserve-3d;
position: relative;
}
.demo-submit{
padding: 10px 20px;
background: #555;
border: 0;
color: #FFF;
display:inline-block;
margin-top:20px;
}
</style>
jQuery Image Flip
This jQuery script shows how to change the image transform property on the click event. By changing transform property the image will flip back and forth. The code is,
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#flip-link").on("click",function(){
if($("#flip-box").css("transform") == 'none') {
$("#flip-box").css("transform","rotateY(180deg)");
$("#flip-box img").attr("src","fixed_bg1.jpg");
}
else {
$("#flip-box").css("transform","");
$("#flip-box img").attr("src","fixed_bg.jpg");
}
})
</script>
