How do you transition between display:none and display:block?

I am trying to delay the appearance of mobile nav items (ideally without using JS to delay their appearance) until the nav overlay fully expands (0.4s).

There are two states: 1. non-overlay state: The top nav has a hamburger menu on the left and my name on the right. The 4 nav links are hidden. 2. overlay state: The hamburger menu turns to an x, the top nav transitions to cover the full page, and 4 nav links appear centralized on the nav overlay.

I've read elsewhere that modern browsers will disregard any animation or transition specifications if display: changes. Is this still the case? How can I overcome this and delay the appearance of the nav items until the overlay fully expands?

It appears to be working here: https://codepen.io/KingKabir/pen/QyPwgG but I'm not sure how they are accomplishing it?

I've tried using visibility: and opacity: but they don't completely hide the 4 nav elements in the non-overlay state, thus messing up my name in the right side of the nav menu in the non-overlay state.

HTML:

  <nav class="nav_container" id="overlay">
    <div class="hamburger" id="hamburger" onclick="mobileMenu()">
      <div class="bar1"></div>
      <div class="bar2"></div>
      <div class="bar3"></div>

CSS:

    .nav_container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr 1fr !important;
    grid-template-rows: auto;
    column-gap: 16px;
    grid-template-areas:
      "nav-far-left nav-left nav-right nav-far-right";
  }
  .nav_container.open {
    max-height: 100%;
    height: 200%;
    background-color: #000000;
    display: grid;
    grid-template-rows: auto auto auto auto auto;
    grid-template-areas:
      "nav-far-left nav-left nav-right nav-far-right"
      "second second second second"
      "third third third third"
      "fourth fourth fourth fourth"
      "fifth fifth fifth fifth";
    transition: all 0.4s cubic-bezier(0.455, 0.03, 0.515, 0.955);
  }

  .icon_personal_container,.blanks{
    display: none;
  }
  .nav_tab {
    display: block;
    height: 0;
    width: 0;
    visibility: hidden;
    opacity: 0;
  }
  .nav_tab.open{
    display: block;
    height: auto;
    font-size: 32px;
    font-weight: 500;
    padding-top: 64px;
    visibility: visible;
    opacity: 1;
    transition: visibility 0s linear;
  }

  #nav_tab_about.open{
    grid-area: second;
    transition-delay: .10s;
    width: auto;
  }
  #nav_tab_work.open {
    grid-area: third;
    transition-delay: .15s;
    width: auto;
  }
  #nav_tab_skills.open {
    grid-area: fourth;
    transition-delay: .2s;
    width: auto;
  }
  #nav_tab_contact.open {
    grid-area: fifth;
    transition-delay: .25s;
    width: auto;
  }

  #nav_text {
    grid-area: 1 / nav-right / 1 / nav-far-right;
  }

Javascript:

function mobileMenu() {
  document.getElementById("hamburger").classList.toggle("active"); // toggling active class
  document.body.classList.toggle("overlay-body"); //toggling overlay state on body
  document.getElementById("overlay").classList.toggle("open"); //toggling overlay state on nav by setting classlist to "open"
  // improve below by grabing by class not by id
  document.getElementById("nav_tab_about").classList.toggle("open");
  document.getElementById("nav_tab_work").classList.toggle("open");
  document.getElementById("nav_tab_skills").classList.toggle("open");
  document.getElementById("nav_tab_contact").classList.toggle("open");
}

I expect the nav elements of class "nav_tab" to appear a few 10ths of a second after the nav_container has time to expand fully.

The current result is that the nav elements of class "nav_tab" appear immediately, before the nav_container has time to expand fully.

If you use visibility and opacity in conjunction with max-height, you can achieve a nice transition from visible to hidden or vice-versa. Setting the element's max-height to 0 when it's hidden, and max-height to Xpx (larger than your element will ever be) when visible, prevents the element from messing with your layout in any way (as you mentioned in your question).

Here's a quick example:

var visible = document.querySelector(".visible");

function hide() {
  visible.classList.add("hidden");
}

visible.addEventListener("click", hide);
div {
  background-color: blue;
  padding: 40px;
  color: white;
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: all .1s ease;
}

.visible {
  visibility: visible;
  opacity: 1;
  max-height: 1000px;
}

.hidden {
  visibility: hidden;
  opacity: 0;
  max-height: 0;
}
<div class="visible">Click to hide</div>

You can just add one more parameter to you transition which is 'delay'. Delay is the fourth parameter for transition, in your case it can look like this:

transition: all 0.4s cubic-bezier(0.455, 0.03, 0.515, 0.955) 2s;

Now this animation will start with 2 seconds delay.

To make you closer to what you want achieve, I made small changes in your CSS, which I will describe below:

  1. For element .nav_container.open replace lines:

    max-height: 100%;
    height: 200%;
    

    with one line:

    min-height: 100vh;
    

    It will make your container to expand at least to the height of the window.

  2. For element .nav_tab replace:

    display: none;
    

    with:

    display: block;
    opacity: 0;
    

    With that you can hide your links and avoid no animation for showing them.

  3. For element .nav_tab.open remove these two lines:

    display: block;
    visibility: visible;
    

    and add these two lines:

    opacity: 1;
    transition: all 0.6s linear 0.4s;
    

    Where 0.6s is the animation duration and 0.4s is delay - set it to no lower than duration for expand nav_container.

Check the result and let me know if your are closer to your target ;)
