navigation slide in issue

Question

I am trying to make this navigation for a website, and it seems to work now, i just cant get the right animation. I have tried to use animate, but i could not make it work and im not sure if thats even the best way to go arround it.

I want my menus to slide in from the side they live in - not scale down from the top corner as the standard .show / .hide does.

HTML

<div class="wrapper">
    <div class="nav">
        <a href="#" class="nav-show">menu</a>
        <a href="#" class="search-show">search</a>

        <div class="nav-wrap">
            <ul>
                <li><a herf="#">1</a></li>
                <li><a herf="#">2</a></li>
                <li><a herf="#">3</a></li>
                <li><a herf="#">4</a></li>
                <li><a herf="#">4</a></li>
                <li><a herf="#">4</a></li>
                <li><a herf="#">4</a></li>

            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

ul, li {margin:0; padding:0;}

.wrapper {width:100%; height:60px; background-color:#333;}
.nav {width:100%; height:60px;}
.nav-show {width:60px; background-color:#666; color:#FFF; display:inline-block; height:100%; line-height:60px; text-align:center;}
.search-show {width:60px; background-color:#666; color:#FFF; display:inline-block; height:100%; line-height:60px; text-align:center; float:right;}

.nav-wrap {width:90%; background-color:#999; color:#000;padding:10px; display:none; position:fixed; top:60px; left:0; bottom:0; overflow:auto;}
.nav-wrap ul {list-style:none; background-color:#F60;}

.search-wrap {width:90%; background-color:#999; color:#000;padding:10px; display:none; position:fixed; top:60px; right:0; bottom:0; overflow:auto;}
.search-wrap ul {list-style:none; background-color:#F60;}
.search-wrap ul li {height:60px; width:100%; background-color:#CCC;margin-bottom:5px;}

JQUERY

$(document).ready(
    function(){
        $(".nav-show").click(function () {
            $(".search-wrap").hide("slow");
            $(".nav-wrap").toggle("slow");
        });

        $(".search-show").click(function () {
            $(".nav-wrap").hide("slow");
            $(".search-wrap").toggle("slow");
        });
    });

i also made a fiddle

i know my jquery code is not the best, im rather rookie here, so if it can be done smarter, i would love to see it. Maybe it would be better to just use CSS3 for animation?

Try with easing plugin, looks great:

FIDDLE

$(document).ready(
    function(){
        $(".nav-show").click(function () {
            $(".search-wrap").hide("slow");
            $(".nav-wrap").toggle('slide', {direction: 'left'}, 1000, "easeOutExpo");
        });

        $(".search-show").click(function () {
            $(".nav-wrap").hide("slow");
            $(".search-wrap").toggle('slide', {direction: 'right'}, 1000, "easeOutExpo");
        });
    });
