toggle-slide element sideways....



I found this thread somewhat useful for sliding elements sideways...
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9864305/sliding-divs-horizontally-with-jquery
esp this fiddle, http://jsfiddle.net/sg3s/rs2QK/

but it uses






  1.     $('div').animate({width: 'toggle'});

can this be applied for when element is initially hidden then apply slide sideways to reveal it?  (oh man, just realized you get a 404 on this fiddle now... it was posted on SO thread mentioned above.. was able to see it yesterday..)

basically what I want to do is the standard stuff that is used in mobile dev now, to show/hide menus, sliding horizontally....  (I don't quite get the {width:'toggle'} thingie..)

thank you.....

PS: I do not want to use jQuery UI if I can avoid it...
