I’m trying to make a bar that slides horizontally. If it’s positioned left, it will slide right. If it’s positioned right, it will slide left. Eventually this will contain multiple bars side by side that will slide out of the way to reveal different images.

right now it would work fine except i can’t seem to figure out how to get it to fire more than once. I’m not a javascript guy by any stretch of the imagination, so just a little push in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks
Luke

    <html>

    <script src="jquery.js"></script>
    <script>
    var x=1;
    $(document).ready(function(){
      if( x==1 )
      {
        x=2;
        $("#block").click(function()
         {
          $("#block").animate({right:'20px'});
         });
        return;
      }

      if( x==2 )
      {
        x=1;
        $("#block").click(function()
         {
          $("#block").animate({left:'20px'});
         });
        return;
      }


    });
    </script>
    </head>



    <body>

    <p> This block should slide right if it's positioned left, and slide left if it's positioned right. It should repeat this behavior indefinitely. Right now it's being very naughty indeed!</p>

    <div id=block style="background:#98bf21;height:100px;width:16px;position:absolute;">
    </div>

    Bind the event out the if statment and put the condition in side event.

    Live Demo

    $(document).ready(function(){
    var x=1;           
    $("#block").click(function()
    {
       if( x==1 )
       {
           x=2;
           $("#block").animate({right:'20px'});
       }
       else
       {
           x=1;
           $("#block").animate({left:'20px'});
       }
     });
 });

    To keep the rule cycle you may need to change the code like given below

    Live Demo

    $(document).ready(function() {
    var x = 1;
    $("#block").click(function() {
        if (x == 1) {
            x = 2;
            $("#block").animate({
                right:  '20px',
                 left: '0px'
            });
        }
        else {
            x = 1;
            $("#block").animate({
                left: '20px',
                 right:  '0px'
            });
        }
    });
});​
