Inline slide effect using JQuery UI

Question

I am trying to hide an alert which is displayed inline using the slide function. It is displayed inline but the sliding doesn't happen inline like I intend it to happen. How can I make the sliding happen inline?

The following is the snippet with current code

$("#testDiv2").show();

$("#testDiv2").on('click', function () {
$("#testDiv2").hide('slide',{direction: 'left'}, 6000);
});

$(function() {
    if ($("#testDiv2").is(':visible')) 
     $("#testDiv2").css('display','inline-block'); 
});

#test,#testDiv,#testDiv2 { 
    display:inline-block;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>

<div id="test">

<div id="testDiv2">
    <div id="testDiv" class="alert alert-success">Click to close</div>
</div>
B
</div>

I have seen this post which suggests to change to inline-block which doesn't solve the issue.
This self answered question is similar to mine but it is about displaying the next one inline not about the current one.

Well, I figured out that this piece of code will fix the inline problem for you, but there are still some layout issues. I'm working on it.

#test > div.ui-effects-wrapper {
   display: inline-block !important;
}

SNIPPET

$("#testDiv2").show();

$("#testDiv2").on('click', function() {
  $("#testDiv2").hide('slide', {
    direction: 'left'
  }, 6000);
});

$(function() {
  if ($("#testDiv2").is(':visible'))
    $("#testDiv2").css('display', 'inline-block');
});

#test,
#testDiv,
#testDiv2 {
  display: inline-block;
}
#test > div.ui-effects-wrapper {
  display: inline-block !important;
}

Thanks for the answer. Can you please what `ui-effects-wrapper` is? — Ram, May 15 '15 at 19:42
Making `ui-effects-wrapper` `inline` instead of `inline-block` makes it better but the sliding effect goes over A which is not I want it to do. — Ram, May 15 '15 at 19:48
I'm not that familiar with `jquery-ui` but it seems like the `ui-effects-wrapper` (a wrapper for the sliding element) is being created during the animation process. — Ramiz Wachtler, May 15 '15 at 19:55
