When using CSS to code for an image or box to move when hovered over, there can be unexpected results. If the mouse is positioned within the click area at the beginning of the transition but not at the end, the effect may repeat indefinitely and stutter if a delay is not applied. Below is a quick demonstration in HTML/CSS:
div {
height:200px;
width:200px;
background-color:red;
}
div:hover {
margin-left:100px;
}<!doctype html> <html>
<head> <title> Hover / Transition Demo </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"></head>
<body>
<div> </div>
</body>
</html>If you hover your mouse over the left-hand side of the red box, the square may start rapidly moving left and right, which can be quite bothersome. Is there a neat solution to avoid this issue? There are several possible approaches: keeping the box in its initial position, ending position, adding a slight delay specifically in this scenario to prevent stuttering, or requiring the mouse to move at least one pixel before the transition repeats. It would be perfect to have all these solutions, but even just one will do. Thank you in advance!
