Question

I am implementing a CSS3 transition effect on a article element but the event listener transitionend works only in pure JavaScript, not with jQuery.

See example below:

// this works
this.parentNode.addEventListener( 'transitionend', function() {alert("1"); }, true);

// this does not work
$(this).parent().addEventListener( 'transitionend', function() {alert("1"); }, true);

Can somebody explain me what am I doing wrong?

in jQuery you should use bind() or on() method:

$(this).parent().bind( 'transitionend', function() {alert("1"); });
