Hi, there! 
I'm making a common accordion for a project that uses GSAP. But faced with the following issue.
When I animate element like :

 

tl.from(element, .5, { height: 0 });

 

... it takes the initial height of element (which consists of content inside it), but when I change throught media query, for example, the font size, it is obvious that the height of element reduces. But it still uses the initial height. So I have spaces on the bottom, because of initial height. 

Is there a way to update the calculation of height, when somthing changes in css or maybe on resizes?

Hi,

 

This is a very simple concept I made some time ago for a wordpress site:

The main thing to keep in mind is to kill any existing tween and create new ones after getting the new height of the element after the resize event. Is worth noticing that the animations are reeeeeeaaaally slow in order to test the code responsiveness, but you could use any GSAP instance you want. Also it could use some work in order to avoid looping through all the elements and do it just for the active ones.  Is not precisely what you're doing but hopefully will help you get started.

 

Happy tweening!!

You can listen for media query changes. Here's a demo that reacts to media query changes and resize events. Notice how I save the state of the animation before I clear it, allowing the new animation to start in the same state as the old animation.
