JQuery - Div is not sliding off the screen

Question

Im trying to essentially 1 page where on a button click all the content slides off to the left and the new page slides in from the right.

I am working off of this JS Fiddle from another post and trying to adapt it to my site but i can't see why it's not working.

This fiddle im working from uses this JQuery:

$('.box').click(function() {
    $('.box').each( function() {
        if ($(this).offset().left < 0) {
            $(this).css("left", "150%");
        }
    });

    $(this).animate({
         left: '-50%'
     }, 500);

     if ($(this).next().size() > 0) {
         $(this).next().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     } else {
         $(this).prevAll().last().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     }
});

This is my Jquery:

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('.slide').click(function() 
    {
        $('.sliding-container').each( function() {
            if ($(this).offset().left < 0) {
                $(this).css("left", "150%");
        }
    });

    $(this).animate({
         left: '-50%'
     }, 500);

     if ($(this).next().size() > 0) {
         $(this).next().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     } else {
         $(this).prevAll().last().animate({
             left: '50%'
         }, 500);
     }
  });
});

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Building on your previous code, here are pointers

remove the id tag with text slider and add it as a class

You have the last two container-slider in the first one. They should be siblings.

See snippet below

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.slide').click(function() {
    var that = this;
    $('.sliding-container').each(function() {

      if ($(that).parents(".sliding-container")[0] != this) {
        $(this).css("left", "100%")
      } else {
        $(this).animate({
          left: '100%'
        }, 500);
      }
      if ($(that).parents(".sliding-container").next().index() == 3) {
        $(".sliding-container:first-child").animate({
          left: '0%'
        }, 500);
  
      } else {
        $(that).parents(".sliding-container").next().animate({
          left: '0%'
        }, 500);
      }
    });

  });
});

#mainscreen-container {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100vh;
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

.sliding-container {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100vw;
}

#sliding-container1 {
  background-color: red;
}

#sliding-container2 {
  background-color: green;
  left: 150%;
}

#sliding-container3 {
  background-color: blue;
  left: 150%;
}

$('.slide').click(function() there is no element with a class slide in you html

$(this).animate({ left: '-50%' }, 500);

The element with that Id that you click will get the properties of left: '-50%' but it doesn't change anything because the element doesn have a position: absolute css value

Before you code this much just change the css manually to see if the jquery rules you add to an element will work.
