Accessibility check1 to fix

  • Built on a native <input> element, so keyboard focus and screen reader semantics work without extra attributes.
  • Defines a focus style for keyboard navigation.
  • Animates without a prefers-reduced-motion guard. Wrap the animation in that query if motion sensitivity matters to your audience.

These notes are generated by reading this component's own source, so they describe what it actually does rather than what a template says. Copy the code above in HTML, CSS, Tailwind and adapt it freely.

About Vintage Radio

Vintage Radio is a input field built with a keyframe animation, gradient fills and layered shadows. Its stylesheet runs to 108 lines across 21 rules, declaring 29 distinct properties. It styles focus state explicitly, so the component responds to interaction rather than sitting still. The animation is driven by a keyframe sequence named pulse, which you can retime or remove without touching the rest of the styling. Every format shown on this page is the same component, so you can take HTML, CSS and Tailwind depending on how your project is set up. Nothing is minified and nothing depends on a framework.

When to use

How it works

The base rule sets the shape with border-radius, display, height and padding. The fill is a gradient rather than a flat colour, so it is a single background declaration with no image to load. The looping motion comes from pulse. Changing the animation-duration is usually the only edit needed to make it faster or calmer.

Native element semantics, no extra attributes needed

Built on a native <input> element, so keyboard focus and screen reader semantics work without extra attributes. Defines a focus style for keyboard navigation. Animates without a prefers-reduced-motion guard. Wrap the animation in that query if motion sensitivity matters to your audience. That is one thing to fix before this ships in front of users.
