Animations & Interaction

The Leeds Beckett University website occasionally uses animations to page elements and animated gifs to add impact to pages. If you wish to stop them from playing for accessibility purposes or for personal preference then please see the guidance below. Please note that browsers sometimes change how they operate, so please refer to your browser help files to find their latest information.
How do I turn off animations?

Chrome

Chrome users will need to use browser extensions. Animation Policy from Google will help you set your own preferences.

Microsoft Edge

There is currently no way to disable animations within Microsoft Edge. Users of Edge (Chromium) browser can install the Chrome extensions above and use them.

Internet Explorer

To stop animations on a single page you can just press the 'Esc' key. This will stop the animation on that page. If you wish to restart the animations you need to refresh the page. To permanently disable the playing of animated GIF images, open Internet Options > Advanced tab. Under the Multimedia section, uncheck the Play animations in webpage check-box, click Apply and Exit and then restart your computer.

Firefox

Type about:config in Firefox address bar and hit Enter to open Settings. Search for the image.animation_mode flag and change its value from Normal to None. Once you restart Firefox this will disable animations.

Text
Read more text (cannot be used in conjunction with CTA buttons)

A title in this component should be an introductory sentence, not 'The overview'.

Bulleted lists are important for the user to quickly understand important information or instructions:

Fusce mi justo, pharetra eu mi vitae, sodales aliquam lorem
- Integer tincidunt ullamcorper mi
- Nulla mattis vel augue in cursus
Praesent euismod consectetur urna, at venenatis ex gravida blandit

Numbered lists may infer that some instructions should be carried out in order, or that we took steps to complete an activity:

Fusce mi justo, pharetra eu mi vitae, sodales aliquam lorem
1. Integer tincidunt ullamcorper mi
2. Nulla mattis vel augue in cursus
Praesent euismod consectetur urna, at venenatis ex gravida blandit

This text area shows the 'read more' function, be careful not to hide essential information in your page but use this to avoid long-form pages.

This text area shows how buttons are added to the component. We would typically use these in text areas towards the top of the page, if buttons are required further down you might want to consider an alternative component.

This text area shows how a tooltip is applied to the component. This is helpful to give the user a little more context if you are displaying complex information, or if a side note is required. Do not hide essential information here.
