<p>The widget's view is composed by HTML elements such as text display area, buttons, edit fields, and so on. The appearance of these HTML elements can be dynamically changed. For example, they can be shown or hidden dynamically using the HTML DOM style object to set the display property to "block" or "none" respectively. For instance:</p>

<p>The purpose of the <code>prepareForTransition</code> method is to prepare a widget for a transition state before modifying the widget view by disabling updates to the widget UI. Thus, when modifying a widget view where the appearance of many HTML elements will be changed, <code>prepareForTransition</code> will help to prevent the widget UI from being updated at once and one by one, which could potentially cause screen flickering.</p>
