KeyframeEffect.target

The target property of a KeyframeEffect interface represents the element or pseudo-element being animated. It may be null for animations that do not target a specific element. It performs as both a getter and a setter, except with animations and transitions generated by CSS.

An Element, CSSPseudoElement, or null.

In the Follow the White Rabbit example, whiteRabbit sets the target element to be animated:

var whiteRabbit = document.getElementById("rabbit");

var rabbitDownKeyframes = new KeyframeEffect(
  whiteRabbit,
  [
    { transform: 'translateY(0%)' },
    { transform: 'translateY(100%)' }
  ],
  { duration: 3000, fill: 'forwards' }
);

// returns <div id="rabbit">Click the rabbit's ears!</div>
rabbitDownKeyframes.target;
