A jQuery plugin that extends $.animate() to automatically detect and use CSS3 transitions (translate/translate3d) in browsers that support them, with silent degradation to standard DOM animation elsewhere. It is a lightweight drop-in enhancement supporting left, top, opacity, width, and height animations.
Use cases
- speed up jquery animations with css3 transitions
- hardware-accelerate left/top animations in jquery
- animate elements without writing browser detection code
- use translate3d for smoother mobile safari animations
- progressively enhance existing jquery animate calls
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy jQuery codebase that needs faster animations without refactoring
- targeting old browsers (IE6+) while still benefiting from CSS3 transitions where available
When to avoid
- starting a new modern project - use CSS transitions/animations or modern animation libraries like GSAP directly
- your project uses jQuery 1.9+ or modern frameworks - the plugin is unmaintained since ~2019 and tested only up to jQuery 1.8
