Element Interactions

The Interactions extension allows you to apply actions ( eg: Add, Remove, Toggle a CSS class ), based on triggers initiated by the user ( eg: Click, Hover ), browser events ( eg: Page load ), or events dispatched by elements and extensions from Breakdance and Elements Hive ( eg: Slide Next, Animation Complete ).

 

Note: Interactions are only visible on the front end!
