.animate() -- possible to do from right to left instead of left to right?

.animate() -- possible to do from right to left instead of left to right?

Hey, I need to have a sliding panel. The way I did it, is with .animate(). Problem with that is that the contents wraps. I can use nowrap in CSS, but that won't work with floating divs inside that contents div.

So, I was thinking it might be better not to slide the contents div, but instead put another div over it, hide it when the page is displayed, show it when the sliding has to occur, and slide it open from the right to the left, so it would look the same as if the contents div'd slide from full to 0px width, but without the wrapping problem.

The problem with this, is that I can't find out how to slide something from 0 to full length from right to left. It seems to work only from left to right. Is this possible, or will I have to find another way to do this?
