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 with this code)
$("#next").click(function() {
currentElement = currentElement.next();
scrollTo(currentElement);
});
function scrollTo(element) {
$(window).scrollLeft(element.position().left);
}
But ideally, I would like to animate this so that when #next is clicked there is a nice animated effect to the scroll left function
$("#next").click(function() {
currentElement = currentElement.next();
scrollTo(currentElement);
});
function scrollTo(element) {
$(window).animate({scrollLeft: element.position().left}, 750);
}
But to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

You'll want something like this:
$("#next").click(function(){
var currentElement = currentElement.next();
$('html, body').animate({scrollLeft: $(currentElement).offset().left}, 800);
return false;
});
scrollTop function.
