I have a list with icons, when the icons are clicked the text is revealed. This works – just using opacity and toggling a class. But the problem is if the text wraps over one line, you get space between each of the icons.
I’ve tried toggling between display: none / block which does collapse the space …but then the content ‘jumps’ into view.
Is there a way once the content is displayed with .visible as well as fading in, the height could also animate smoothly pushing the rest of the content down?
$('.list-numbers--reveal li').click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass('visible');
});.list-numbers {
counter-reset: li;
line-height: 1.25;
list-style: none;
}
.list-numbers li {
display: flex;
min-height: 24px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: none;
}
.list-numbers li:before {
background: black;
border-radius: 100%;
color: white;
content: counter(li);
counter-increment: li;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
flex-shrink: 0;
font-size: 14px;
height: 24px;
line-height: 14px;
margin-right: 8px;
position: relative;
top: -2px;
width: 24px;
}
.list-numbers--reveal li {
cursor: pointer;
}
.list-numbers--reveal li span {
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity .12s;
}
.list-numbers--reveal li.visible span {
opacity: 1;

To do what you require you can use the max-height property. Note you need to use max-height here and not height as height: auto cannot be animated.
Set the max-height to a setting around one line in height (to avoid a delay before the animation starts) and set it to a value much larger than your content will ever be when the class is applied.
Here’s a working example – note that I slowed the animation speed down to make the effect noticeable:
$('.list-numbers--reveal li').click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass('visible');
});.list-numbers {
counter-reset: li;
line-height: 1.25;
list-style: none;
}
.list-numbers li {
display: flex;
min-height: 24px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: none;
}
.list-numbers li:before {
background: black;
border-radius: 100%;
color: white;
content: counter(li);
counter-increment: li;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
flex-shrink: 0;
font-size: 14px;
height: 24px;
line-height: 14px;
margin-right: 8px;
position: relative;
top: -2px;
width: 24px;
}
.list-numbers--reveal li {
cursor: pointer;
}
.list-numbers--reveal li span {
opacity: 0;
max-height: 25px;
display: block;
transition: all 1s ease;
transition-property: opacity max-height;
}
.list-numbers--reveal li.visible span {
opacity: 1;
max-height: 100px;
