My goal is to achieve a similar effect as follows:
$("#left").hide('slide', {direction: 'right'}, 1000)
However, I do not want the div to be hidden entirely. Rather, I want it to maintain its space on the page by using visibility hidden like this:
$("#left").css('visibility','hidden')
Yet, I still aim to achieve the same visual effect as described above.
If faced with a similar situation, this is the approach I would take:
$parent = $('#left').parent(); //saving the parent element in a variable
$('#left').clone() //making a copy of the current element
.appendTo($parent) //adding it back into its original position
.css('visibility','hidden') //setting its visibility to hidden
.end().end() //returning to the initial element
.slideUp() //applying any sliding/hiding animation desired, knowing that the clone will remain invisibleAdmittedly, this method may not be ideal, but sometimes it's the only solution at hand :)
For illustration: http://jsfiddle.net/skyrim/j2RWt/4
Give this a try:
var $content = $("#left");
var offset = $content.offset();
$("<div></div>").css({
width: 0,
position: "absolute",
left: offset.left,
top: offset.top,
height: $content.outerHeight(),
backgroundColor: "White"
}).appendTo("body")
.animate({
width: $content.outerWidth()
}, 1000, function () {
$content.css('visibility', 'hidden');
$(this).remove();
});
UPDATE
After understanding the actual requirement (:p), this technique essentially overlays another div on top of the initial element. I have tested it in IE and will provide further updates after testing in other browsers!
UPDATE
Chrome appears to be the only browser facing difficulties in determining the correct height.
Implemented a callback that hides visibility (as recommended by LEOPiC) and removes the overlaying div afterwards
A very simple way to achieve this is by following a helpful tutorial on animating in different directions. Check out the tutorial here for guidance.
$('#left').animate({width: 'toggle'});

EDIT: Another solution involves moving the div out of the window using left margin adjustment.
$("#left").animate({marginLeft:'1000px'},'slow');
