jQuery .animate() causing layout shifts in flexbox container on resize
I'm maintaining legacy code that I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... I'm working with an scenario where using jQuery's `.animate()` method on a flexbox container is causing unexpected layout shifts during the animation when resizing the window. The animation works perfectly fine when the window is at a fixed size, but as soon as I resize, the items inside the flex container seem to momentarily 'jump' to their original positions instead of maintaining a smooth transition. Here's a snippet of the code where the scenario arises: ```javascript $(document).ready(function() { $('#animateButton').on('click', function() { $('.flex-container').animate({ width: 'toggle' }, 500); }); }); ``` The HTML structure looks like this: ```html <div class="flex-container" style="display: flex;"> <div class="flex-item">Item 1</div> <div class="flex-item">Item 2</div> <div class="flex-item">Item 3</div> </div> <button id="animateButton">Animate</button> ``` I have tried using `overflow: hidden;` on the flex container, but that only partially mitigates the scenario. I also attempted to use CSS transitions instead of jQuery animations, but I need to keep some specific jQuery functionality. The current behavior is particularly problematic on smaller screens. Is there a way to handle this better in jQuery or should I resort to a different approach for animations in a flexbox layout? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated!
