Let me try my best to explain what I'd like to have happen, show you the code I have an hopefully I can get some help.

So, I'm trying to do a sliding navigation UI from the left side of the screen (like a lot of mobile apps). The main content slides over, displaying the navigation menu beneath.

Right now the browser thinks the screen is getting wider and introduces a horizontal scroll bar. However, I don't want that to happen...

How do I get the div to animate off screen but not enlarge the width of the screen (i.e. keep it partially off screen)?

Anyway here is my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2vP67/6/

And here is the code within the post:

HTML

<div id='wrapper'>
    <div id='navWide'> </div>
    <div id='containerWide'> </div>
    <div id='containerTall'>
        <div id='container'>
            <div id='nav'>
                <div id='navNavigate'> Open Menu </div>
                <div id='navNavigateHide'> Close Menu </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id='sideContainerTall'>
        <div id='sideContainer'>
            <div id='sideNav'>Side Navigation </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

#wrapper {
    width:100%;
    min-width:1000px;
    height:100%;
    min-height:100%;
    position:relative;

    z-index:0;
}
#navWide {
    color: #ffffff;
    background:#222222;
    width:100%;
    min-width:1000px;
    height:45px;
    position:fixed;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    z-index:100;
}
#containerWide {

    min-width:1000px;
    min-height:100%;

}
#containerTall {

    background:#dadada;

    min-height:100%;
    margin-left:-480px;

    z-index:1000;
}
/***** main container *****/

#sideContainer {

    display:none;
}
#sideNav {
    width:264px;
    height:648px;
    float:left;
}

Javascript

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('div#navNavigate').click(function() {

        $('div#navNavigate').hide();

        $('div#navNavigateHide').show();

        $('div#sideContainer').show();

        $('div#containerTall').animate({
            'left': '+=264px'
        });
    });

    $('div#navNavigateHide').click(function() {

        $('div#navNavigate').show();

        $('div#navNavigateHide').hide();
        $('div#containerTall').animate({
            'left': '-=264px'
        }, function() {
            $('div#sideContainer').hide();
        });
    });

});
