You can just use code like this:

function FixMargin(left) {
    $(this).css("left", left);
}

$(document).ready(function () {

$('#rightbutton').click(function () {
    var left = parseInt($("#bitToSlide").css('left'), 10);
    $("#bitToSlide").animate({ left: left - pageWidth }, 400, FixMargin(left - pageWidth));
});

$('#leftbutton').click(function () {
    var left = parseInt($("#bitToSlide").css('left'), 10);
    $("#bitToSlide").animate({ left: left + pageWidth }, 400, FixMargin(left + pageWidth));
});

}

where your html looks like this:

and your css looks like this:

.slide
{
position:relative;
overflow:hidden;
height:365px;
width:597px;
margin:1em 0;
background-color:#E9ECEF;
border:0px
}

.slide .inner
{
position:absolute;
left:0;
bottom:0;
height:365px;
padding:0px;
background-color:#E9ECEF;
color:#333
}

I wrote the above a really long time ago - so you probably want to update it a bit (replace the table's with div's for example) but it works.

You obviously need the two buttons on there as well
