  1. animationName: The animationName property returns the name of the event animation. It returns the value of the animation-name CSS property associated with the transition.
    Syntax:

    event.animationName;
    

    Return Type: It returns a string which represents the name of the animation.

    Example-1:




    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
      
    <head>
        <style>
            div {
                width: 550px;
                height: 50px;
                background: green;
                position: relative;
                -webkit-animation-name: animate;
                /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
                -webkit-animation-duration: 5s;
                /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
                animation-name: animate;
                animation-duration: 5s;
            }
            /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
              
            @-webkit-keyframes animate {
                from {
                    top: 0px;
                }
                to {
                    top: 500px;
                }
            }
              
            @keyframes animate {
                from {
                    top: 0px;
                }
                to {
                    top: 500px;
                }
            }
        </style>
    </head>
      
    <body>
        <div id="div1"></div>
        <script>
            var x = document.getElementById("div1");
            
            // Code for Chrome, Safari and Opera
            x.addEventListener(
              "webkitAnimationStart", StartAnimation);
            
            // Standard syntax
            x.addEventListener(
