How to pause and restart a css3 transition in jquery transit

I'm using jquery transit to move and element. I want to pause the animation and continue it on click of a button. But i'm unable to figure out how to do it.

JSFiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/b4hwq/2/

I did try 

stop().transition({});

but it is throwing an error.

I have update the fiddle with the complete function from the transit library:

$('.box').transition({
            x: '350px',
            duration: 5000,
            complete: function() {
                alert("complete!");
            }
        });

jsfiddle

The complete function is still executed even when using clearQueue() or stop()

You were most of the way there with .stop() I just added a little logic to tell it what to do when it stops.

Working Example

$('button').click(function () {
    if (!$('.box').hasClass('stop')) { // if the box does not have class "stop"
        $('.box').stop().transition({  // stop the transition
            x: $('.box').offset().left + $('.box').width() / 2  // where the box should be when it stops
        }, 1).addClass('stop'); // simple add class for easy button control  
    } else { // if the box has class "stop"
        $('.box').transition({
            x: '350px' 
        }, 5000).removeClass('stop'); // continue with regularly scheduled programming then remove "stop"
    }
});

You can use clearQueue() to stop the animation

clearQueue() : Stop the remaining functions in the queue

jsFiddle here

HTML

<div class="box"></div>
<button id="restartTransition">Click Me</button>

CSS

.box{
    opacity: 0.8;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 5%;
background: #505060;
border-radius: 1px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
margin: -16px 0 0 -16px;
width: 32px;
height: 32px;
z-index: 2;
}

jQuery

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#restartTransition").on("click", function(){
        $('.box').clearQueue().transition({ x: '0px' },10);
        $('.box').transition({ x: '350px' },5000);
    });
});
