kendoanimation effects

[Manohar]

Hi,
I am evaluating Kendo UI and I'd appreciate if you can help me answer whether the following is doable or not.

I am using the splitview and defining a toggle menu on the side-pane
and I'd like to create a cool sliding effect when it slides out and slides in while toggling.
I've tried setting the duration, but that doesn't help.
How do I slide it slowly and create the effect that it is pushing the main-pane when the toggle menu comes out
and reverse the effect when it slides in?

Here is the code that I have now and it just doesn't have any effect. It simply hides and shows the side-pane.

$('#toggleMenu').click(function() {

    if ($('#menuPane').is(':visible')) {

        $("#menuPane").kendoAnimate({ hide: true, effects: "slideOut:left"});

    } else {

        $("#menuPane").kendoAnimate({ show: true, effects: "slideIn:left"});

    }

});

Please let me know.
Thanks.

B.Manohar
