javascript - JQuery show and hide div on mouse click (animate)

Question

This is my HTML code:

<div id="showmenu">Click Here</div>
<div class="menu" style="display: none;">
    <ul>
        <li>Button1</li>
        <li>Button2</li>
        <li>Button3</li>
    </ul>
</div>

And I want to show .menu on click on #showmenu sliding from left to right (with animate). On click again on #showmenu or anywhere in site page, .menu will hide (slide back to left).

I use JQuery 2.0.3

I've tried this, but it doesn't do what I want.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#showmenu').toggle(
        function() {
            $('.menu').slideDown("fast");
        },
        function() {
            $('.menu').slideUp("fast");
        }
    );
});

That .toggle() method was removed from jQuery in version 1.9. You can do this instead:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#showmenu').click(function() {
            $('.menu').slideToggle("fast");
    });
});

...but as with the code in your question that would slide up or down. To slide left or right you can do the following:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#showmenu').click(function() {
         $('.menu').toggle("slide");
    });
});

Noting that this requires jQuery-UI's slide effect, but you added that tag to your question so I assume that is OK.
