jQuery: slide in content from right to left?

Question

I'm trying to create a simple content slideshow using jquery.

When i run my code, I get no sliding at all but at the same time I get no errors to indicate why my code doesn't work!

This is a working FIDDLE

And this is my code:

$(window).load (function() {
    var theImage = $('.some');
    var theWidth = theImage.width()
    //wrap into mother div
    $('#feedTxt').wrap('<div id="mother" />');
    //assign height width and overflow hidden to mother
    $('#mother').css({
        width: function() {
        return theWidth;
      },
        height: function() {
        return theImage.height();
      },
        position: 'relative',
        overflow: 'hidden'
    });
        //get total of image sizes and set as width for ul
    var totalWidth = theImage.length * theWidth;
    $('#feedTxt').css({
        width: function(){
        return totalWidth;
    }
    });
});//doc ready

Could someone please advise on this issue?

Thanks in advance

EDIT

i now can go through the elements but they are not sliding really!!

here is another working FIDDLE

Try something like this. The key here was adding position:relative to the parent div and making the slides position:absolute; .

 $("#feedTxt > div:gt(0)").hide(); setInterval(function() { $('#feedTxt > div:first') .animate({width:'toggle'},350) .hide() .next() .animate({width:'toggle'},350) .end() .appendTo('#feedTxt'); }, 3000); 

 #feedTxt { display: flex; overflow-x: scroll; height:450px; width:100%; position:relative; } .some { flex: 0 0 100%; height: 450px; position: absolute; right: 0; top:0; }
