In this tutorial, I’m gonna show you how to make an awesome jQuery animated website.

Demo
The jQuery
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".nav_bar li").click(function() {
/*Get the class from the menu button that was clicked*/
var Tab = $(this).attr("class");
/*Slide the current DIV to the right 1500px*/
$(".box").stop().animate({
left : "1500px"
}, 1000, function() {
/*Now set the current DIV opacity to 0 and left 1500px then hide it*/
$(".box").css("left", "-1500px").hide();
/*Show the new div slide right to 0px, set opacity to 100% then stop the animation*/
$("#" + Tab).show().animate({
left : "0px",
opacity : 1.0
}, 1000).stop();
});
});
});
Now for the HTML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73
<div class="outer">
<!--Here is the nav bar -->
<div class="nav_bar">
<!--Inside our nav bar we have a list to display all of our pages -->
<ul>
<li class="p1">
Home
</li>
<li class="p2">
Page 1
</li>
<li class="p3">
Page 2
</li>
<li class="p4">
Page 3
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- Now for the page content -->
<div class="container">
<!-- We have a div for every page -->
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box" id="p1">
<h3>Home</h3>
</div>
<div class="box" id="p2">
<h3>Page 1</h3>
</div>
<div class="box" id="p3">
<h3>Page 2</h3>
</div>
<div class="box" id="p4">
<h3>Page 3</h3>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Now put the whole thing together!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135
