Possible for child element to trigger parent animation

[mtwallet]

I have an unordered list like this:

<ul id="container">
<li class="active">Text</li>
<li class="next">Text</li>
<li>Text</li>
<li>Text</li>
</ul>

Is it possible to use approach to make the li.next trigger an animation on the ul#container in anyway? so something like this:

$('.next').approach({ $('#container').animate({ left : '-200px'}); });

Many Thanks.

Hi mtwallet,

That's a little outside the realm of what approach does, though I imagine you might be able to hack approach into doing this for you. The only issue I see is that the closer you get to next, the further it slides from your mouse (since container is moving). This might cause "container" to slip further and further from your grasp.

Best of luck, Scott
