So I seem to have an issue with one of my old Wordpress themes. I just brought one of my themes out of the darkness to use as a piece of my portfolio, and immediately realized that my jQuery sidebar has completely stopped working and I'm not sure why. Now mind you, I wrote this bit of sidebar code before WordPress implemented their own 'custom' sidebar implementations (so I'm very unsure if this relates to that but highly doubt it. I think I developed it around the time of Wordpress 3.1). The specific code at fault is located here
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/sliding_effect.js"></script> <!-- code for jquery menu -->
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$(".button-slide").click(function()
{
$("#slide-panel").slideToggle("slow");
});
});
</script>
</head>
I know the jQuery version is out of date, but even after updating it I was still unsuccessful. Does anyone have a clue on what I am doing wrong. I'll happily provide more code if needed. All of the above is located in my header.php file within my theme.
Here's a portion of the implementation
<ul id="sliding-navigation">
<br/>
<!-- Panel -->

});
function slide(navigation_id, pad_out, pad_in, time, multiplier)

$(this).css("margin-left","-180px");
