Hi there! I am currently diving into the world of javascript and jQuery, with a specific goal in mind. I want to create functionality where a div expands to the width of the window when clicked, then shrinks back down to its original size but switches alignment from right to left or vice versa. Although I have successfully achieved this effect starting from the right side, I've hit a roadblock when attempting to do the same from the left. Here's the code that works perfectly, but now I aim to reverse the direction.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Learning jQuery</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<style>
#circle {
height:200px;
width:200px;
background-color:red;
border-radius:100px;
position:absolute;
right:0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Header</h1>
<div id="circle"></div>
<script>
$("#circle").click(function() {
$(this).animate({
width:"100%",
}, 1000, function() {
$(this).animate({
width:"200px",
left:"0"
}, 1000);
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
I attempted switching "left" for "right" in the code, but it resulted in the animation only happening on the left end without any movement towards the right. Additionally, experimenting with the position() function from the jQuery-ui plugin didn't quite yield the desired smooth transition, as it would grow, shrink, and abruptly jump back instead of flowing elegantly from one side to the other.
I'm open to any suggestions or guidance on how to achieve this effect seamlessly. Thank you in advance for your help!
