jQuery .stop() method not preventing animations when using .animate() in a loop
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm testing a new approach and I'm working with an scenario where I have a jQuery animation that I'm trying to control with the `.stop()` method, but the animations continue to queue up when the function is called multiple times. I have a simple button that triggers an animation on a div element, and I'm using `.animate()` within a loop to create an infinite bouncing effect. When the user clicks the button again, I want the current animation to stop immediately and start a new animation without stacking them. Here’s the relevant code snippet: ```javascript let bouncing; $('#bounceButton').on('click', function() { $('#myDiv').stop(true, true).animate({ marginTop: '-=50px' }, 500).animate({ marginTop: '+=50px' }, 500); }); ``` However, when I click the button multiple times, the animations seem to queue up rather than stopping the previous one. I expect that `.stop(true, true)` should clear the queue and jump to the end of the current animation, but it feels like it’s not working as intended. I've tried using different parameters with `.stop()` but I still encounter the same scenario. The console does not show any errors, but the animations behave inconsistently. They appear to stack up, causing a laggy effect. I'm using jQuery version 3.6.0. Is there a better way to control the animations in this scenario? Any suggestions on how to ensure that the animations do not stack up would be greatly appreciated. I recently upgraded to Javascript LTS. What's the best practice here? I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Windows 11. What's the correct way to implement this?
