I have a site with a side navigation bar that is supposed to slide in via the right side, then when you close it, it transitions back into the side. When designing this i realized that after clicking the side bar once it overrides my style of "transition:0.5s" and instead just appears.
Here is my code
window.onclick = function(event){if(event.target == document.getElementById('outerNav')){closeNav();}};
function openNav() {
document.getElementById("outerNav").style.display = "block";
document.getElementById("outerNav").style.transition = "0.5s";
document.getElementById("jrc-sidenav").style.width = "250px";
document.getElementById("et-main-area").style.opacity = "0.7";
document.getElementById("jrc-sidenav-background").style.backgroundColor = "rgba(255,255,255,0.7)";
document.getElementById("hamburger").style.display = "none";
}
function closeNav() {
document.getElementById("jrc-sidenav").style.width = "0";
document.getElementById("et-main-area").style.opacity = "1";
document.getElementById("jrc-sidenav-background").style.backgroundColor = "#fff";
document.getElementById("hamburger").style.display = "block";
setTimeout(function(){
document.getElementById("outerNav").style.display = "none";
},500);
}
.outerNav {
display: none;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: transparent;
transition: 0.5s;
}

The Problem is your outer-nav. When you open the menu it got set to "display:block" - that happens without a transition. If you also resize it from 0% to 100% with a transition, it should work. See the snippet:
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target == document.getElementById('outerNav')) {
closeNav();
}
};
function openNav() {
document.getElementById("outerNav").style.position = "fixed";
document.getElementById("outerNav").style.width = "100%"; //added this for opening the menu
document.getElementById("mySidenav").style.width = "250px";
document.getElementById("main").style.marginLeft = "250px";
document.body.style.backgroundColor = "rgba(0,0,0,0.4)";
}
function closeNav() {
document.getElementById("mySidenav").style.width = "0";
document.getElementById("main").style.marginLeft = "0";
document.getElementById("outerNav").style.width = "0%";
document.body.style.backgroundColor = "white";
