If you're willing to include the jQuery UI library, in addition to jQuery itself, then you can simply use hide()
, with additional arguments, as follows:
$(document).ready(
function(){
$('#slider').click(
function(){
$(this).hide('slide',{direction:'right'},1000);
});
});
Without using jQuery UI, you could achieve your aim just using animate()
:
$(document).ready(
function(){
$('#slider').click(
function(){
$(this)
.animate(
{
'margin-left':'1000px'
// to move it towards the right and, probably, off-screen.
},1000,
function(){
$(this).slideUp('fast');
// once it's finished moving to the right, just
// removes the the element from the display, you could use
// `remove()` instead, or whatever.
}
);
});
});
If you do choose to use jQuery UI, then I'd recommend linking to the Google-hosted code, at: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/jquery-ui.min.js
