Is there anyway to animate an ellipsis with CSS animations?

Question

I\'m trying to have an ellipsis animate, and was wondering if it was possible with CSS animations...

So it might be like

Loading...
Loading..
Loading.
Lo         


        

Answer 1

A late addition but I found a way to do this which supports centered text.

:after {
    content: '\00a0\00a0\00a0';
    animation: progress-ellipsis 5s infinite;
}

@keyframes progress-ellipsis {
    0% {
        content: '\00a0\00a0\00a0';
    }
    30% {
        content: '.\00a0\00a0';
    }
    60% {
        content: '..\00a0';
    }
    90% {
        content: '...';
    }
}
