Question

I am able to move button to left side but after that how i can again move it to right side. Can i also use delay here.

Here is the code that i have tried:

Answer 1

you can use this, it is working perfectly for me, it will continuously move your element back and forth, and you can also vary animation speed.

function animatethis(targetElement, speed) {
        $(targetElement).animate({ marginLeft: "+=10px" },
{
    duration: speed,
    complete: function () {
        targetElement.animate({ marginLeft: "-=10px" },
        {
            duration: speed,
            complete: function () {
                animatethis(targetElement, speed);
            }
        });
    }
)};
}

use this to implement:

animatethis($('#controlid'), 1500);
