Block CSS Transition on addClass

I have the following code which works great for hover transitions:

#main_nav a, #main_nav a:visited {
    display: block;
    width: 240px;
    margin: 3px 0 0 10px;
    padding: 3px 10px;
    color: #808080;
    background-color: #f2f2f2;
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-radius: 5px;
    transition: 0.3s all;
}

#main_nav a:hover, #main_nav a:active, #main_nav a.active {
    width: 250px;
    margin-left: 0;
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: none;
    background-color: #fff;
}

However, when I use JavaScript to apply the class active I would like it to immediately take the properties without firing the transition. I've been digging and can't find anything on this...

Here's a fiddle showing the issue: http://jsfiddle.net/7WsrY/

If you want to prevent it from happening you need to override the css transition applied by #main_nav a by placing a new rule as below, so that the transition is reset if class active is applied, otherwise the anchor will inherit the transtion from the rule #main_nav a:

#main_nav a.active {
    transition:none;
}
