Yeah, I'm aware of all of those CSS animations and of how to inspect my elements to see them. Maybe I'm not asking the question specifically enough or this isn't the forum for it. I'm wondering what CSS transition folks are seeing that is bumping into my GSAP JS positioning - as in, what is the issue when I'm using the compiler versus inserting raw HTML into the compiler.
When I'm using the theme, but inserting Raw Content into an element, the scrollTrigger works just fine. When I try to use the compiler to recreate what I've built in HTML using compiler elements, the gsap script stutters.
I'm just trying to understand the difference here, so that I can use gsap in a production site. I simply don't want to handcode every site I want to use gsap on. I understand it's a "communication" issue between my wp theme and the script, but I'm not seeing *exactly* where the issue lies. I understand the CSS transitions in the screen you posted @OSUblake, but I'm not seeing any specific inherited transitions that would mess with the scripts.
Here's the compiler using raw code (very rough bare version of the horizontal scroll). https://kristyleehanson.com/gsapforumtest/
TL;DR - I'm wondering where the problem lies between this raw html and the compiler elements - I haven't been able to hunt it down yet. I have a feeling once it's pointed out, it'll be a real forehead slap for me, but extra eyes and specified guidance would be amazing.
