JQuery - Div is not sliding off the screen

Question

Im trying to essentially 1 page where on a button click all the content slides off to the left and the new page slides in from the right.

I am working off of this JS Fiddle from another post and trying to adapt it to my site but i can't see why it's not working.

This fiddle im working from uses this JQuery:

$('.box').click(function() {
    $('.box').each( function() {
        if ($(this).offset().left < 0) {
            $(this).css("left", "150%");
        }
    });

    $(this).animate({
         left: '-50%'
     }, 500);

     if ($(this).next().size() > 0) {
         $(this).next().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     } else {
         $(this).prevAll().last().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     }
});

This is my Jquery:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('.slide').click(function() 
    {
        $('.sliding-container').each( function() {
            if ($(this).offset().left < 0) {
                $(this).css("left", "150%");
        }
    });

    $(this).animate({
         left: '-50%'
     }, 500);

     if ($(this).next().size() > 0) {
         $(this).next().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     } else {
         $(this).prevAll().last().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     }
  });
});

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Building on your previous code, here are pointers

remove the id tag with text slider and add it as a class

You have the last two container-slider in the first one. They should be siblings.

See snippet below

 $(document).ready(function() { $('.slide').click(function() { var that = this; $('.sliding-container').each(function() { if ($(that).parents(".sliding-container")[0] != this) { $(this).css("left", "100%") } else { $(this).animate({ left: '100%' }, 500); } if ($(that).parents(".sliding-container").next().index() == 3) { $(".sliding-container:first-child").animate({ left: '0%' }, 500); } else { $(that).parents(".sliding-container").next().animate({ left: '0%' }, 500); } }); }); }); 

 #mainscreen-container { position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100vh; overflow-x: hidden; } .sliding-container { position: absolute; width: 100vw; } #sliding-container1 { background-color: red; } #sliding-container2 { background-color: green; left: 150%; } #sliding-container3 { background-color: blue; left: 150%; } 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div id="mainscreen-container"> <div id="sliding-container1" class="sliding-container"> <div style="height: 100vh; width: 100%"> <div style="width: 5%; display: inline-block; height: 100vh; overflow: hidden; position: relative; float: left;"> <span style="color: white; font-size: 25pt; cursor: pointer; margin-top: 50vh; float: right;" class="fa fa-chevron-left slide-button">&nbsp;</span> </div> <div class="header-container"> <div style="height: 40vh; display: block;"></div> <p>Click <b style="cursor: pointer;" class="slide">THIS</b> to slide accross</p> <div style="height: 20vh; display: block;"></div> </div> <div style="width: 5%; display: inline-block; height: 100vh; overflow: hidden; position: relative; float: right;"> <span style="color: white; font-size: 25pt; cursor: pointer; margin-top: 50vh;" class="fa fa-chevron-right slide-button">&nbsp;</span> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sliding-container2" class="sliding-container"> <div style="width: 5%; display: inline-block; height: 100vh; overflow: hidden; position: relative; float: left;"> <span style="color: white; font-size: 25pt; cursor: pointer; margin-top: 50vh; float: right;" class="fa fa-chevron-left">&nbsp;</span> </div> <div class="header-container"> <div style="height: 40vh; display: block;"></div> <p>Click <b style="cursor: pointer;" class="slide">THIS</b> to slide accross</p> <div style="height: 20vh; display: block;"></div> </div> <div style="width: 5%; display: inline-block; height: 100vh; overflow: hidden; position: relative; float: right;"> <span style="color: white; font-size: 25pt; cursor: pointer; margin-top: 50vh;" class="fa fa-chevron-right">&nbsp;</span> </div> </div> <div id="sliding-container3" class="sliding-container"> <div style="width: 5%; display: inline-block; height: 100vh; overflow: hidden; position: relative; float: left;"> <span style="color: white; font-size: 25pt; cursor: pointer; margin-top: 50vh; float: right;" class="fa fa-chevron-left">&nbsp;</span> </div> <div class="header-container"> <div style="height: 40vh; display: block;"></div> <p>Click <b style="cursor: pointer;" class="slide">THIS</b> to slide accross</p> <div style="height: 20vh; display: block;"></div> </div> <div style="width: 5%; display: inline-block; height: 100vh; overflow: hidden; position: relative; float: right;"> <span style="color: white; font-size: 25pt; cursor: pointer; margin-top: 50vh;" class="fa fa-chevron-right">&nbsp;</span> </div> </div>

$('.slide').click(function() there is no element with a class slide in you html

$(this).animate({ left: '-50%' }, 500);

The element with that Id that you click will get the properties of left: '-50%' but it doesn't change anything because the element doesn have a position: absolute css value

Before you code this much just change the css manually to see if the jquery rules you add to an element will work.
