    });

});

question:
can you help me with the conversion to jquery

Answer 1

Direct translation would be:

$(document).ready(function(){
    var offsetLeft = $('#menu').offset().left;
    $('#menu').bind('mousemove', function(event) {
        var coordinateX = event.pageX - offsetLeft;
        $('#slider').css("margin-left", (coordinateX - 20) + 'px');
    });
});

Live test case.

However, you better read the documentation and understand how things work so that you can do those things on your own in the future.
