jQuery UI switchClass() method is not working properly

Question

jQuery UI switchClass() method doesn\'t switch class, rather it performs some undesired animations and the class remains the same as the original one when I use

Answer 1

I have encountered this problem before and wasted many hours trying to figure out what was going wrong.

I still don't know why switchClass sometimes doesn't work, but I do have a workaround:

Replace

switchClass('circle','square');

with

addClass('square').removeClass('circle');

Hope that helps.
