CSS background-position animate right to left

I'm trying to animate a background-image, so that the image appears from right to left. I have used an image which has a greater width than the div-container, where the background is located. On start, the backgrond is the following

background: url(../img/zeppelin.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: right;

but when the page is loaded, I want the background to be animated, so that it is positioned left. This should take a eg. 2 seconds and only should be done one time. (the image should be positioned left afterwards).

I don't wanna use any mouse-events or pseudo-classes. Is there a way to animate it by using only CSS? I tried finding a solution with keyframes without success.

This is an unorthodox trick.

<html>
<head>
<style>
    .img{
      width:1000px;
      height:500px;
      background:url(1.jpg) no-repeat left;
      transition:background-position 1s;
      -ms-transition:background-position 1s;
      -moz-transition:background-position 1s;
      -o-transition:background-position 1s;
      -webkit-transition:background-position 1s;    
      }
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="img"></div>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</body>
</html>

style.css:

img{
  background-position:right;

whats happening here is initially the css mentioned in the <style> is rendered. later since the external stylesheet is in the body just before </body>. So style.css is loaded after the resources in the are loaded. so there is a lag in implementation of the css which allows us to apply a css transition.

NO JAVASCRIPT, NO EVENTS still we get what we want!

You have tagged Jquery. So will provide you with Jquery function for that.

$( "#ID" ).animate({
    left: "50px",
     }, 2000);

For class:

 $( ".class" ).animate({
        left: "50px",
         }, 2000);

You can change your value of "Left" acc. to the position you want to give.

you need to use animation and numbers for value,so it can calculate each position in between start - end. basicly it would be :

html {
  background:url(http://gravatar.com/avatar/21ffdef6c07de75379e31a0da98d9543?s=512) no-repeat;
  background-size:10%;/* demo purpose */
  background-position: 100% 0;
  animation: bgmve 2s;
}
@keyframes bgmve {
  to {background-position: 0 0;} /* make it short */
}

DEMO

to fire animation on load you can add a class to html via javascript: 

    onload=function() {
      var root = document.getElementsByTagName( 'html' )[0]; // '0' to assign the first (and only `HTML` tag)

    root.setAttribute( "class", "move" );

}

and css turns to be : 

html {
  background:url(http://gravatar.com/avatar/21ffdef6c07de75379e31a0da98d9543?s=512) no-repeat;
  background-size:10%;
  background-position: 100% 0;
}
.move {
  animation: bgmve 2s;
}
@keyframes bgmve {
  to {background-position: 0 0;
  }
}

You could try using this tutorial: CSS Background Animation

@keyframes animatedBackground {
    0% { background-position: 0 0; }
    100% { background-position: -300px 0; }
}
@-moz-keyframes animatedBackground {
    0% { background-position: 0 0; }
    100% { background-position: -300px 0; }
}
@-webkit-keyframes animatedBackground {
    0% { background-position: 0 0; }
    100% { background-position: -300px 0; }
}
@-ms-keyframes animatedBackground {
    0% { background-position: 0 0; }
    100% { background-position: -300px 0; }
}
@-o-keyframes animatedBackground {
    0% { background-position: 0 0; }
    100% { background-position: -300px 0; }
}

html { 
    width: 100%; 
    height: 100%; 
    background-image: url(background.png);
    background-position: 0px 0px;

    animation: animatedBackground 10s linear infinite;
    -moz-animation: animatedBackground 10s linear infinite;
    -webkit-animation: animatedBackground 10s linear infinite;
    -ms-animation: animatedBackground 10s linear infinite;
    -o-animation: animatedBackground 10s linear infinite;
}

Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/verber/6rAGT/5/

Hope it that what you need)

set position:relative; to the image with left:50%; for example and on document.ready event reduce the left value to e.g. 0 using jquery animate.
