Question

Is this possible to get div element position in JQuery?

homebox is hidden and having right as 0px , I want to animate homebox to container.

so i tried this code

   $("#homebox").animate({ left:$("container").position().left}, 500);

Answer 1

I think it’s .offset() your looking for.

$("#homebox").animate({ left: $("#container").offset().left }, 500);

The above should hopefully work.

Also, should not the container have an ID? # is missing from your selector.
