How do I pause and resume animations in jQuery

In jQuery, pausing and resuming animations can be managed by using a combination of the `stop()`, `fadeIn()`, `fadeOut()`, and `fadeToggle()` methods along with custom functions to handle the animation state.

Here’s a simple example to demonstrate how to pause and resume animations:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script> <div class="box" style="width:100px; height:100px; background-color:red; position:relative;"></div> <button id="start">Start Animation</button> <button id="pause">Pause Animation</button> <button id="resume">Resume Animation</button> <script> $(document).ready(function() { var box = $('.box'); var animation; $('#start').click(function() { animation = box.animate({left: '+=400'}, 2000); }); $('#pause').click(function() { box.stop(); // Stops the current animation }); $('#resume').click(function() { animation = box.animate({left: '+=400'}, 2000); // Restart animation }); }); </script>
