animateClass: css and class changes during animation are lost

[ddstreet]

When performing animation using animateClass (e.g. addClass, removeClass, etc. with a duration), any css changes to the animated elements done during animation are overwritten at the end of the animation, while I believe only css properties that are involved in the animation should be overwritten at the end of the animation. For example, the div background should not be reset to red at the end of the animation:  http://jsbin.com/afele3

This change (first patch) works for me with Chrome and Firefox (both latest), although I'm not completely sure if the .style var is usable as an object across all browsers...is there a better cross-browser way to do it?

Also, I added a test case for this, the second patch in the gist. I did add a new file as part of the patch, core_tickets.js

Please update this bug's title to: animateClass: css and class changed during animation is overwritten and update the version to git.

The problem is now two-fold with the latest git code; not only are changes to the css lost at the end of animateClass(), but now changes to the class are also lost. Please see:  http://jsbin.com/afele3/4

The class animation moves the box from left to right; during the animation the css is updated to change the background color, and a class is added to change the border; both of these changes are lost after the animation completes.

@ddstreet: version: git means that this bug has not been released.

@scott.gonzalez: animateClass is broken is a worse way in the latest released code - elements with no initial class aren't animated at all, because .attr("class") returns null. Anyway, I'd like to track fixing the code in git, so should I just open a new bug and forget this one?

[scott.gonzalez]

Then you should file a separate bug for the newly broken behavior.

I've actually already encountered this new bug (elements without a class) and fixed it:  https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/commit/e8ba367a58995b191706e5682eacba534cd25697

Were you testing against the code in git, or the most recent 1.9 milestone release?

Replying to gnarf:

The latest jsbin example:  http://jsbin.com/afele3/4 is using the git code (specifically, the git effects.core.js, but 1.8.16 release for the rest); I saw in git that the class-less element bug was fixed, and so did not bother with a new bug for that (since it was already fixed in git).

Figured that it would just be easier (and include history) to update this bug to indicate the problems in git, but if I really should open a new bug for the git problems, let me know and I can do that...

[gnarf]

Yeah, I updated this bug to include classes changed during the animation as well. The reasoning behind both css and class changes being broken is quite similar, so it will probably be easiest to solve them both at the same time.

Thanks for the update, I'll see if I can't take a closer look at providing a fix for this soon.

[ddstreet]

I think this commit fixes both these issues; it also adds a test case for both issues.  https://github.com/ddstreet/jquery-ui/commit/2510b74541dbf7ce19f0493e7ba5f86b669523ae

I submitted a pull request also  https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/pull/503

It works in my limited testing. If the commit isn't acceptable, hopefully it at least helps with a starting point for the fix.

Thanks!
