I am trying to repeatedly move a div to the right using requestAnimationFrame and Jquery's animate(). However, my div seems to stutter instead of continuously move. How come it keeps starting and stopping?
Here is a JSfiddle of my implementation
If you want to just see my code here is the html:
<body>
<div id="back">
<div id="myDiv">
</div>
</div>
</body>
The css:
#myDiv {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
}
#back {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-color: teal;
}
And the javascript:
function updateFrame(){
$("#myDiv").animate({left: '+=25px'}, function(){
window.requestAnimationFrame(updateFrame);
});
}
updateFrame();
