I am relatively proficient in html and css, but am not with javascript and jquery. I am trying to get a div to move diagonally, however its not working.
Here is my code:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src=".7.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#box1 div").animate({left: '+=150', top: '+=150'}, 1000);
});
</script>
<div id="box1"></div>
</body>
</html>
I know its probably something really stupid, but does anybody know what the problem is? Thanks!

Look here jsfiddle/joycse06/jtTWy You selector should be
$('#box1')not$('#box1 div'). And you have to add some css. – Prasenjit Kumar Nag Commented Jun 18, 2012 at 4:16 - could also animate the margin instead of position – charlietfl Commented Jun 18, 2012 at 4:19

Reset to default 4You have to first make it position: absolute or relative in CSS.
#box{
position: absolute;
}
$("#box1").animate({left: '+=150', top: '+=150'}, 1000);
Oh yeah, do this:
$("div#box1") //correct
instead of:
$("#box1 div") //incorrect
DEMO: http://jsfiddle/DerekL/bwg8R/
To animate something using left and top the element needs to be positioned. either relative or absolute, otherwise left and top don't do anything to the element.
See my example here: http://jsbin./ayafup/edit#html,live
And target your #box1 element directly as $(#box1), not all child div's inside it as you're doing, $(#box1 div)
Also move your scripts down to the bottom before </body> for better performance and better practice in general.
Give your div some position because left and top are used after position is set
<div id="box1" style="position:absolute;">s</div>
And in javascript
$("#box1 div").animate({left: '+=150', top: '+=150'}, 1000);
Should be
$("#box1").animate({left: '+=150', top: '+=150'}, 1000);
Because the previos one was selecting child of #box1
Here is the best solution I find for animations effects.. I you don't have any constraint to support older version of browser than animation of you will be like eating a cake..
