jQuery .animate() optimization guide as expected with CSS transitions causing flickering in Chrome
I'm reviewing some code and I'm maintaining legacy code that Quick question that's been bugging me - Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm working with an scenario where using jQuery's `.animate()` method on an element seems to conflict with CSS transitions, causing a flickering effect in Chrome (version 94)... I'm trying to smoothly animate the width of a div, but when I apply the `.animate()` method, it appears that the CSS transitions kick in and create a flicker effect. Here's a snippet of my code: ```javascript $(document).ready(function() { $('#myDiv').on('click', function() { $(this).animate({ width: '200px' }, 500); }); }); ``` And in my CSS, I have: ```css #myDiv { width: 100px; transition: width 0.5s ease; } ``` The scenario arises when I click on the div; instead of a smooth animation, it flickers as if both the jQuery animation and the CSS transition are trying to execute simultaneously. I've tried removing the CSS transition temporarily, and the jQuery animation works correctly without flickering. However, I need to keep the transition for other interactions. Is there a way to make jQuery animations and CSS transitions work together without causing this flickering scenario? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Ubuntu. How would you solve this? For context: I'm using Javascript on Ubuntu 22.04. This is part of a larger desktop app I'm building. Cheers for any assistance!
