I am making a jquery slider. code is

$(document).ready(function(){
  var currentPosition = 0;
  var slideWidth = 560;
  var slides = $('.slide');
  var numberOfSlides = slides.length;

  // Remove scrollbar in JS
  $('#slidesContainer').css('overflow', 'hidden');

  // Wrap all .slides with #slideInner div
  slides
    .wrapAll('<div id="slideInner"></div>')
    // Float left to display horizontally, readjust .slides width
    .css({
      'float' : 'left',
      'width' : slideWidth
    });

  // Set #slideInner width equal to total width of all slides
  $('#slideInner').css('width', slideWidth * numberOfSlides);

  // Insert controls in the DOM
  $('#slideshow')
    .prepend('<span class="control" id="leftControl">Clicking moves left</span>')
    .append('<span class="control" id="rightControl">Clicking moves right</span>');

  // Hide left arrow control on first load
  manageControls(currentPosition);

  // Create event listeners for .controls clicks
  $('.control')
    .bind('click', function(){
    // Determine new position
    currentPosition = ($(this).attr('id')=='rightControl') ? currentPosition+1 : currentPosition-1;

    // Hide / show controls
    manageControls(currentPosition);
    // Move slideInner using margin-left
    $('#slideInner').animate({
      'marginLeft' : slideWidth*(-currentPosition)
    });
  });

  // manageControls: Hides and Shows controls depending on currentPosition
  function manageControls(position){
    // Hide left arrow if position is first slide
    if(position==0){ $('#leftControl').hide() } else{ $('#leftControl').show() }
    // Hide right arrow if position is last slide
    if(position==numberOfSlides-1){ $('#rightControl').hide() } else{ $('#rightControl').show() }
  } 
});

This is working fine and HTML code is

<div id="slideshow">
    <div id="slidesContainer">
      <div class="slide">
        <h2>Web Development Tutorial</h2>
        <p><a href="#"><img src="img/img_slide_01.jpg" alt="An image that says Install X A M P P for wordpress." width="215" height="145" /></a>If you're into developing web apps, you should check out the tutorial called "<a href="#">Using XAMPP for Local WordPress Theme Development</a>" which shows you how to set up a local testing server for developing PHP/Perl based applications locally on your computer.

  1. I think you should use animate complete function.

    when animate is complete start another animate or move back.

     $('#slideInner').animate({
      'marginLeft' : slideWidth*(-currentPosition)
    }, function() { Your Code Here });
