jQuery .animate() not triggering on multiple elements with delay in succession
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm trying to create a sequence of animations using jQuery's `.animate()` method on multiple elements that are part of a list. The goal is to animate each list item one after the other with a specific delay. Here's what I've attempted so far: ```javascript $('.list-item').each(function(index) { $(this).delay(index * 500).animate({ opacity: 1, left: '+=50px' }, 400); }); ``` In this code, I expect each `.list-item` to fade in and slide to the right with a delay of 500ms between each item. The question is that while the first item animates correctly, the subsequent items are jumping to the final position almost instantly without completing the animation. I've checked that my CSS sets the initial state of the list items as follows: ```css .list-item { opacity: 0; position: relative; left: 0; } ``` I also console-logged the index values to confirm that the delay is increasing as expected. However, it seems like the `.animate()` method is not respecting the delays set by `.delay()`. I've tried wrapping the `.animate()` call in a timeout, but that gave me too much lag between animations and didn't solve the underlying scenario. Is there a better way to handle sequencing animations in jQuery, or is there something I've overlooked in my current approach? I'm using jQuery version 3.6.0. How would you solve this?
