Animate var div object

Question

I have a class defined var "bar" attributed to a certain div with no ID nor CLASS.

bar.style.width = progress+"%";

Is there a way I can make "bar" var div animate using jquery?

.animate({width:progress+"%"},90);

Answer 1

bar looks like a dom element reference... you need to get the jQuery object to call animate(...)

so

$(bar).animate({width:progress+"%"},90);
