Using JQuery to trigger CSS3 animations on one element when clicking on another

My Rails app has a feature similar to reddit where users can upvote or downvote content. I'm currently working on creating a CSS3 animation that triggers when a user clicks the downvote button.

Here's how I'm using JQuery:

<div class="animations">
  <%= image_tag "ballerino.png", class: "fixed no-display", id: "to-animate", style: "margin-top: 80px; width: 40%" %>

  <script>
    $("#downvote").on('click',function() {
      $('#to-animate').removeClass('fixed');
      $('#to-animate').removeClass('no-display');
      $('#to-animate').addClass('animation-left-to-right');
    });
  </script>

</div> <!-- animations -->

This code is then rendered as a partial for each Joke object on the page:

<div class="text-center col-xs-1">
  <% if current_user %>
    <div class="width: 100%"><%= link_to " ", joke_up_vote_path(joke), id: "upvote", class: 'glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-up', method: :post, style: "margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0" %></div>
  <% else %>
    <div class="width: 100%"><%= link_to " ", new_user_session_path, id: "upvote", class: 'glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-up', method: :post, style: "margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0" %></div>
  <% end %>
  <div class="width: 100%"><h3 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"><strong><%= joke.points %></strong></h3></div>
  <% if current_user %>
    <div class="width: 100%"><%= link_to " ", joke_down_vote_path(joke), id: "downvote", class: 'glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down', method: :post, style: "margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0" %></div>
  <% else %>
    <div class="width: 100%"><%= link_to " ", new_user_session_path, id: "downvote", class: 'glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-down', method: :post, style: "margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0" %></div>
  <% end %>
</div>

Additionally, here's the CSS code from my application.scss file for the animations:

/* ANIMATIONS */

.animation-left-to-right{

I could use some help troubleshooting this issue with the animations triggered by JQuery and CSS. I'm still learning about animations and JQuery, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It seems like there might be some confusion about your issue, but could the solution look something like this? 

$(".downvote").on('click', function() {
  //$('#to-animate').removeClass('fixed');
  $('#to-animate').removeClass('no-display');
  $('#to-animate').addClass('animation-left-to-right');
});
/* ANIMATIONS */

.animation-left-to-right {
  animation: l-r-ballerina linear 4s;
  animation-iteration-count: 1;

  animation-fill-mode: forwards;
  -webkit-animation: l-r-ballerina linear 4s;
  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: 1;
  -webkit-transform-origin: 50% 50%;

  50% {

Answer №2

If you're looking to refresh your page once the animation or transition ends, you'll need to listen for one of those events. I've included listeners for both with browser prefixes. The animation extends off-screen, giving it a quirky appearance, but you can grasp the overall concept.

$(".downvote").on('click', function() {
  var href = "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38934608/css3-animation-trigger-           with-jquery-click-to-other-element";
   $('#to-animate').one("webkitTransitionEnd otransitionend oTransitionEnd msTransitionEnd transitionend webkitAnimationEnd oanimationend oAnimationEnd msAnimationEnd animationend", function(e) {
    //Stub handler
    //Your logic goes here
    if(confirm("Detected " + e.type + " event.  Redirect to " + href + "?")){
      window.location.href = href;
    } 
   })
  $('#to-animate').removeClass('fixed');
  $('#to-animate').removeClass('no-display');
  $('#to-animate').addClass('animation-left-to-right');
});
