jQuery slide left and show

I extended the jQuery effects called slideRightShow() and slideLeftHide() with a couple functions that work similarly to slideUp() and slideDown() as seen below. However, I would also like to implement slideLeftShow() and slideRightHide().

I know there are substantial libraries that offer this type of thing (I'd like to avoid adding another large set of javascript files), but can anyone provide a simple example of how to implement either slideLeftShow() or slideRightHide()?

jQuery.fn.extend({
  slideRightShow: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
      jQuery(this).animate({width: 'show'});
    });
  },
  slideLeftHide: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
      jQuery(this).animate({width: 'hide'});
    });
  },
  slideRightHide: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
      ???
    });
  },
  slideLeftShow: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
      ???
    });
  }
});

The above slideRightShow function starts showing the image from the left side and it progresses toward the right side. I am looking for some way to do the same thing but start from the right side and progress toward the left. Thanks!

EDIT

jQuery Interface has something like I need (I basically need their "slide in right" and "slide out left" functions), but I couldn't get this to work with jQuery 1.3: http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/ifx.html . Also, their demo seems to broken as well as it will only do a slide once before throwing a million errors.

This feature is included as part of jquery ui http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Effects/Slide if you want to extend it with your own names you can use this.

jQuery.fn.extend({
  slideRightShow: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
    	$(this).show('slide', {direction: 'right'}, 1000);
    });
  },
  slideLeftHide: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
      $(this).hide('slide', {direction: 'left'}, 1000);
    });
  },
  slideRightHide: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
      $(this).hide('slide', {direction: 'right'}, 1000);
    });
  },
  slideLeftShow: function() {
    return this.each(function() {
      $(this).show('slide', {direction: 'left'}, 1000);
    });
  }
});

you will need the following references

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script src="http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/latest/ui/jquery.effects.core.js"></script>
<script src="http://jquery-ui.googlecode.com/svn/tags/latest/ui/jquery.effects.slide.js"></script>

Don't forget the padding and margins...

jQuery.fn.slideLeftHide = function(speed, callback) { 
  this.animate({ 
    width: "hide", 
    paddingLeft: "hide", 
    paddingRight: "hide", 
    marginLeft: "hide", 
    marginRight: "hide" 
  }, speed, callback);
}

jQuery.fn.slideLeftShow = function(speed, callback) { 
  this.animate({ 
    width: "show", 
    paddingLeft: "show", 
    paddingRight: "show", 
    marginLeft: "show", 
    marginRight: "show" 
  }, speed, callback);
}

With the speed/callback arguments added, it's a complete drop-in replacement for slideUp() and slideDown().

You can add new function to your jQuery library by adding these line on your own script file and you can easily use fadeSlideRight() and fadeSlideLeft().

Note: you can change width of animation as you like instance of 750px.

$.fn.fadeSlideRight = function(speed,fn) {
	return $(this).animate({
		'opacity' : 1,
		'width' : '750px'
	},speed || 400, function() {
		$.isFunction(fn) && fn.call(this);
	});
}

$.fn.fadeSlideLeft = function(speed,fn) {
	return $(this).animate({
		'opacity' : 0,
		'width' : '0px'
	},speed || 400,function() {
		$.isFunction(fn) && fn.call(this);
	});
}

And if you want to vary the speed and include callbacks simply add them like this :

        jQuery.fn.extend({
            slideRightShow: function(speed,callback) {
                return this.each(function() {
                    $(this).show('slide', {direction: 'right'}, speed, callback);
                });
            },
            slideLeftHide: function(speed,callback) {
                return this.each(function() {
                    $(this).hide('slide', {direction: 'left'}, speed, callback);
                });
            },
            slideRightHide: function(speed,callback) {
                return this.each(function() {  
                    $(this).hide('slide', {direction: 'right'}, speed, callback);
                });
            },
            slideLeftShow: function(speed,callback) {
                return this.each(function() {
                    $(this).show('slide', {direction: 'left'}, speed, callback);
                });
            }
        });
