Enlarging a Div

When I click on a link I am trying to get a div to enlarge. The div is called "sidebox". The website is www.mediascrubber.com The div is the white box with the grey line around it.

<ul id="bars">
		<li><a href="#!/page_One">One</a><!-- Begin One -->
    	<li id="page_One">
			<div id="sidebox" class="sidebig">
			</div>
		</li>
    	</li><!-- End One -->
	</ul>

This is based no jquery - I'm sure you can easily adapt it to your particular code

Your example works great. Mine doesn't. I copied all of the code and it doesn't seem to work. Could it be my jquery version?

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" ></script>
<script>
		$("#container").mouseenter(function(){
        $(this).animate({width: '200px'});
		})
		$("#container").mouseleave(function(){
        $(this).animate({width: '100px'});
		})
		$(".buttons button").hover(function(){
  		$(".content ."+$(this).attr("id")).toggle()  
		})
</script>
