jquery: animate scrollLeft

Question

I\'m quite new to jquery and can\'t seem to figure out why my code isn\'t working. I have a horizontal layout and want to use the scrollLeft() function (which works perfect

Answer 1

You'll want something like this:

$("#next").click(function(){
      var currentElement = currentElement.next();
      $('html, body').animate({scrollLeft: $(currentElement).offset().left}, 800);
      return false;
   }); 

I believe this should work, it's adopted from a scrollTop function.
