There's a Google approach, FLIP

might be of interest to you

> where the element moves to be under a different div altogether Can you explain a little more?

think it’s doable but quite complex with pure CSS to have one element follow others - so, normally you’ll have an absolutely positioned element (so it’s out of the document flow) and some JS to animate transforms based on your conditions.

it’s a common UI thing

(guessing that’s what @U66G3SGP5 was thinking of?)

I was thinking something like, I have a stack of cards (which are inside a div), and I want them to move to div on the other side of the screen in an animated manner

FLIP is definitely what you're after 🙂

I recently used a good library for this, although I can't remember it's name right now. Began with p.

pose!

Well, it may not work so well for the DOM shifting technique. But FLIP is generally the strategy you want here 🙂

thanks
