Question

I’m looking to make the simplest content slider possible. I don’t want a plugin… I simply want an easy way to slide a couple of divs left and right based on next/previous buttons.

If I’m shooting myself in the foot, though, I’ll just use a plugin. 🙂

Answer 1

The easiest way I believe is to use the anaimate function on your elements:

$("#left").click(function(){
  $(".block").animate({"left": "-=50px"}, "slow");
});
