Jquery: animate .outerWidth()?

Question

When animating a width toggle, it's not animating the padding, so i looked into .outerWidth() but i'm not exactly sure how to implement this...

$('#shareheart').click(function(){
    $('.share-text').animate({outerWidth: 'toggle'}, 2000)
})

Answer 1

Animate only works on css properties. Im not sure what the toggle key word does but i assume its shortand for alternating hide/show keyword. you could try:

$('#shareheart').click(function(){
    $('.share-text').animate({
      width: 'toggle', 
     'padding-left': 'toggle', 
     'padding-right': 'toggle'
    }, 2000);
});

But im not sure how toggle will work with the padding...
