I'm trying to animate the background-position of a div, slowly, but without it having jerky movement. You can see the result of my current efforts here:
@-webkit-keyframes MOVE-BG {
from {
background-position: 0% 0%
}
to {
background-position: 187% 0%
}
}
#content {
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
background: url(http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.jpg) 0% 0% repeat;
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
color: #000;
-webkit-animation-name: MOVE-BG;
-webkit-animation-duration: 100s;
-webkit-animation-timing-function: linear;
-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
I have been at this for hours and can't find anything that will animate slowly and smoothly at a sub-pixel level. My current example was made from the example code on this page: http://css-tricks.com/parallax-background-css3/
The smoothness of animation I'm after can be seen on this page's translate() example:

If it can't be done with the background-position, is there a way to fake the repeating background with multiple divs and move those divs using translate?
Checkout this example:
#content {
height: 300px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
color: #000;
position:relative;
}
.bg{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
z-index: -1;
background: url(http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/1.jpg) 0% 0% repeat;
animation-name: MOVE-BG;
animation-duration: 100s;
animation-timing-function: linear;
animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
@keyframes MOVE-BG {
from {
transform: translateX(0);
}
to {
transform: translateX(-187%);
}
}
<div id="content">Foreground content
<div class="bg"></div>
</div>
