CSS animation doesn't work changing top value

问题

With this JQuery I change the vertical position of the form, but I have ta problem with the animation: I would like to animate the change of the position, so the user can see the input field moving to the new position. Why doesn't the animation work?

If it is possible, I would like to use animate.css

HTML

<div id="searchMainWrapper">
    <div id="searchMain" class="vertical-align-middle">
        <form>
            <input type="text">
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

#searchMainWrapper {
    -webkit-animation: animate 3s; /* Safari and Chrome */
       -moz-animation: animate 3s; /* Firefox */
            animation: animate 3s;
    -webkit-transform-style: preserve-3d;
       -moz-transform-style: preserve-3d;
            transform-style: preserve-3d;

    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%
}

.vertical-align-middle {
    position: relative;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}
.vertical-align-top {
    position: relative;
    top: 0px;
}

JS

$('#searchMain').removeClass('vertical-align-middle').addClass('vertical-align-top');

回答1:

Use transition instead of animate

demo

#searchMain{
    position:absolute;
    transition: 3s;
}
.vertical-align-middle {
    top: 50%;
}
.vertical-align-top {
    top: 0px;
}
