I'm squirrelling away trying to learn Javascript/jQuery with the intention of using git for mobile applications.

One issue I'm having trouble getting started with is animation.

I am looking to animate a graph so it scrolls left at a set pace. The graph is essentially a series of bars (each a separate DIV in the code) with the width set based on a previous user input (i.e. they can vary). The width then translates into seconds so I want to animate the graph to scroll from right to left at a pace of x pixels/whatever per second.

Is there an easy way to do this in jQuery? I was thinking I could capture all the bars in a parent DIV and animate that?

Thanks
