positioning an element with jquery

[MutatedCreativity]

Hi there! I am having the worst time troubleshooting jquery right now. As it is right now, I have an image slider that has sections controlled by tabs. I’m looking to reset the slider back when someone clicks on a different tab, but for some reason I can’t figure out how to reset the left position back. I’ve tried the following:

$(element).css('left', 272.5);

$(element).offset.left = 272.5;

$(element).offset().left =  272.5;

but nothing works. I’m using div’s inside the main sliding element and those are hidden. Does this affect it somehow? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Well, 2 points I guess:
1. is there any unit? px? em?
Example:
$(element).css(‘left’, ‘272.5px’);

2. need some css before positioning:

$(element).css(‘position’, ‘fixed’); // or ‘absolute’.

Your syntax is incorrect I believe. Should be:

$(element).css('left', '272.5px');

You are right. I changed it, thanks.
Did it help you with your problem?
