How to shorthand if else in jQuery function?

What is the method for writing an animate function of jquery for a div tag which gets applied on two different screen sizes?

• I want to write animate function for an element (e.g. a DIV element) that should get applied for a particular screen size. For example: I wrote .animate function for default screen size (e.g. for 1280 width screen). Now I want to write another .animate function which should get applied when the screen size is of width= 500px. How can I write the condition or the logic for it?

  Not getting exactly what you are asking,but if I'm not wrong what you need is CSS Media queries. Read this : http://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries
