Animate with Jquery through id-CodePudding

I am very new to Jquery. This is also my first time asking a question on here. I am trying to animate this id but I do not know how to apply it with an id. I want my name to move to the left, enlarge, and lessen the opacity right when the code runs, without a button.

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(name).animate({
    left: '250px',
    opacity: '0.5',
    height: '150px',
    width: '150px'
  });
});

#name{
    font-size:40px;
    font-weight: 700;
    font-family: Roboto;
}

CodePudding user response：

Firstly, selectors in jQuery follow CSS rules. Therefore to select the <div id="name"> element you should use $('#name') instead of $(name).

To actually have the element move position it needs to be set to position: absolute in CSS.

With those updates made, your code works fine:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#name').animate({
    left: '250px',
    opacity: 0.5,
    height: '150px',
    width: '150px'
  });
});

#name {
  font-size: 40px;
  font-weight: 700;
  font-family: Roboto;
  position: absolute;
}

<div id="name">Christy Kim</div>
