Is there a way to improve the jumpy open/close animations in Safari and fix the repositioning issue when resizing the browser on a page with several ‘accordion’ style dropdowns in Webflow?
To improve the jumpy open/close animations in Safari and fix the repositioning issue when resizing the browser on a page with several 'accordion' style dropdowns in Webflow, you can try the following solutions:
Use transition animations: Instead of relying on default animations, you can use custom transition animations to control the speed and easing of the open/close effect. By specifying transition properties for the desired elements, you can achieve smoother animations. For example, you can set the transition property for the height of the accordion panels to create a smooth opening and closing effect.
Optimize CSS: Make sure your CSS is optimized for performance. Large CSS files can cause performance issues, particularly when animations are involved. Minify and combine your CSS files to reduce loading times and improve animation smoothness.
Use transform instead of position: When animating elements, it's recommended to use CSS transforms (such as translate, scale, or rotate) instead of changing their position. This can help avoid repositioning issues when resizing the browser. Use the Transform property to animate the desired elements instead of altering their position.
Reduce the number of elements affected: If you have many accordion-style dropdowns on a single page, the jumpy animation and repositioning issue may be due to the large number of elements being affected simultaneously. Try reducing the number of dropdowns displayed at once or implementing lazy loading to load them dynamically as they are clicked on. This can help alleviate the performance issues associated with animating multiple elements simultaneously.
Test and optimize: After implementing the above solutions, it's important to test your website in Safari to ensure that the jumpy animations and repositioning issues have been resolved. Check for smooth transitions and smooth resizing behavior. If any issues persist, identify the specific elements causing the problem and apply additional CSS or JS optimizations targeted at those elements.
Remember to always test your changes across multiple browsers and devices to ensure a consistent user experience.
