Animating marginLeft with jQuery

Question

I can\'t figure out to animate marginLeft with jQuery. I need it to subtract 938px every time a user clicks on a link, which was working fine when I was using .css()

Answer 1

There's a syntax error in your code, as you are passing parameters in an object to animate() you should use : not , to delimit each attribute. Try this:

$("#full-wrapper #full").animate({
    marginLeft: '-=938px'
}, 500);

Answer 2

Replace comman(,) by colon(:).

$("#full-wrapper #full").animate({
    marginLeft: "-=938px"
}, 500);

Answer 3

$("#full-wrapper #full").animate({
    marginLeft: '-=938px'
}, 500);
