Good Afternoon, everyone. I am new to this forum so I honestly don't know what to expect. But I wanted to see if I could get some help here with a project that I am working on (No! it is NOT homework). Without giving all the specifies, which would take to much time up, I would like to jump in and give you the details of what I am trying to do.
This application I am going to be showing off some of my work with a slide show of sort with a slide effect. In the click event handler for the links in the 'work list', I wanted to use a slide effect to hide the description (text) of the current work over a duration of one-half second. Trying to use the direction option to slide the description to the right. Here is what my index.html code looks like (the text isn't anything more than Lorem Ispum, right now until I get it working):

<p class="hidden">"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and
praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual
teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects,
dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how
to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there
anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally
circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example,
which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who
has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences,
or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"</p>

<p class="hidden">"On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are
so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they
cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail
in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain.
These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is
untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be
welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the
obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances
accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects
pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains."</p>

<p class="hidden">Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown
printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not
only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages,
and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.</p>

I have searched the internet with maybe some examples that I could follow but with no luck. I even went to codecanyon.net because I know they usually have some good examples on their I could follow.
I am not confident in jQuery, first and foremost, I was just trying to figure out how to insert some slide animation into my script. I hope I explained myself right. Any help would be appreciated, I have the code down to thus far I am just stuck.
