several animatet divs with beziers without wraping in enw div

I think I can live with that solution, but just out of curiosity - is there a way to make this animation work, without wraping everything in #border div? I thought you can have some object, that would a pivot point for other objects, but apparently not.

Unless your element is a child of an element you don't have a direct link between them. If you wanted several div elements following a pivot point, you'll probably have to create a function that would read where that pivot point is at every frame then calculate where all other elements should be relative to the pivot and place them there.

 

Sounds like a lot of work compared to nesting your elements into a container.

I can't always know what objects should be wrapped. Tracking pivot points sounds cool, but how to do it? For now i am going to try find a way to track translate3d on change.
