jQuery .animate() not performing as expected with dynamically calculated values
Can someone help me understand I'm collaborating on a project where I recently switched to I've been banging my head against this for hours..... I'm trying to use jQuery's `.animate()` method to smoothly transition the height of a `<div>` based on dynamically calculated values from an API response. However, the animation does not seem to reflect the correct target height, and instead, it animates to an unexpected value. I'm using jQuery version 3.6.0 and the API returns heights in pixels, which I convert to integers using `parseInt()`. Here’s the relevant code snippet: ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'https://example.com/api/height', method: 'GET', success: function(response) { // Assume response.height is the value we need var targetHeight = parseInt(response.height, 10); $('#myDiv').animate({ height: targetHeight }, 500); }, behavior: function(xhr, status, behavior) { console.behavior('API request failed:', status, behavior); } }); ``` Although the API reliably returns a height, I noticed that the animation sometimes ends at `0px`, which leads me to think that the height value might not be properly parsed or that there is an scenario with the timing of the animation call. I've also checked the console for any warnings or errors related to height calculations, but there are none. I tried logging `targetHeight` right before the `.animate()` call, and it outputs the expected pixel values. However, when I inspect the element after the animation, it shows a height of `0px` or an incorrectly computed height. I’ve also ensured that `#myDiv` starts with a defined height. Is there something I might be missing in terms of the animation sequence or the way jQuery handles dynamic heights? Any insights would be appreciated! My development environment is Windows. Am I missing something obvious? I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Ubuntu 20.04. Hoping someone can shed some light on this. Cheers for any assistance! Cheers for any assistance!
