CSS3 transitions, transforms and animations are wonderful. They are even more now more browsers

CSS3 transitions, transforms and animations are wonderful. They are even more now more browsers do support them.

Still there’s one thing I keep asking myself: Why isn’t the spec definining that CSS3 transitions and animations should handle height:auto?

It doesn’t make any sense when we’re moving away from fixed layouts with things like the CSS3 flexible box model and media queries.

It doesn’t make any sense to use JavaScript just to set a CSS transition with a fixed height.

Now comes my question:

Will the W3C ever specify that height:auto should be supported for CSS3 transitions and animations or can we request them to specify this?

    I’m not sure why they didn’t say anything about auto values either, but you can try asking them through their public CSS mailing list. As the transition and animation specs are still working drafts, they might just toss in some changes to address this matter. Good luck!
