How can I animate an element's height using jQuery? I want to smoothly increase or decrease the height of an element over a set duration. What jQuery methods should I use to animate the height, and how do I ensure it works properly with dynamic content?

In jQuery, the .animate() method could be used to create an animation of the height of an element by smoothly changing its height - and any other CSS properties - over a specified duration. This will provide user experience with smooth transitions.

Syntax:

$(selector).animate({ height: "newHeight" }, duration);

newHeight: The CSS height value (for example "300px", "50%", or "toggle" to toggle between visible and hidden).
duration: The duration of the animation - can be one of "slow", "fast", or any number in millisecond.
