jQuery .animate() not functioning as expected with CSS transitions - conflicting animations
I need help solving I'm testing a new approach and I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer... Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm working with an scenario where my jQuery `.animate()` method is not functioning properly due to conflicting CSS transitions. I have a div that is both animated via jQuery on click and has a CSS transition applied for the same properties. When I click the button to trigger the jQuery animation, it seems to revert to the CSS transition instead of executing the animation I defined in jQuery. Here's the relevant code: ```html <div id='box' style='width: 100px; height: 100px; background: red; transition: width 0.5s ease;'></div> <button id='animate-btn'>Animate</button> ``` ```javascript $('#animate-btn').on('click', function() { $('#box').animate({ width: '200px' }, 500); }); ``` In this setup, when I click the 'Animate' button, I expect the box to expand to 200px width over 0.5 seconds using jQuery's `.animate()`. However, it seems to just abruptly change to 200px and then snap back after the CSS transition completes. I've tried adding `e.stopPropagation()` and `e.preventDefault()` in the click event, but that didn't help. I've also disabled the CSS transition temporarily, which allows the jQuery animation to work as intended. Is there a way to have both work together without conflicts? Should I completely avoid using CSS transitions on the same properties I want to animate with jQuery? Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated! I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. For context: I'm using Javascript on Linux. What's the best practice here? I'm developing on Windows 10 with Javascript. Thanks in advance! This is part of a larger application I'm building. How would you solve this?
