jquery css window-resize javascript

I'm learning this framework and I'm working with an scenario where I'm trying to dynamically adjust a few CSS properties of elements on window resize using jQuery, but it seems that only some of the properties are being applied correctly. Specifically, I'm trying to change the `width`, `height`, and `opacity` of a `.box` class element. Here's the code I'm using: ```javascript $(window).on('resize', function() { var newWidth = $(window).width() / 2; var newHeight = $(window).height() / 2; var newOpacity = Math.max(0, Math.min(1, newWidth / 1000)); // Ensure opacity is between 0 and 1 $('.box').css({ width: newWidth + 'px', height: newHeight + 'px', opacity: newOpacity }); }); ``` The question is that when I resize the window, the width and height update correctly, but the opacity does not change as expected. Sometimes it stays at 1, even when the width is significantly reduced, which leads me to believe there could be a timing scenario or a question with how jQuery is handling the `css()` method for multiple properties. I've checked jQuery version 3.6.0 and the scenario continues. I've also added `console.log()` statements to verify the values being calculated for `newWidth`, `newHeight`, and `newOpacity`, and they seem to be returning the expected values. However, applying them in the `.css()` method doesn't yield the correct results. Has anyone experienced similar behavior, or does anyone have suggestions on how to ensure all properties get applied correctly during a rapid series of window resize events? Could throttling the resize event help in this case? Any insights would be appreciated! What's the correct way to implement this? This is part of a larger microservice I'm building. Is this even possible?
