.animate() and going back to original state
<p>I am a bit new to jQuery, and trying to learn it. I am animating an element after its parent is clicked, but I also want the element to go back to its original state after a set time period. I did try <code>setTimeout</code> but I may be using it wrong, so it didn't work. Can someone explain how to do this? </p>

<pre><code>var span = $('span');

$('button').click(function(){


    span.animate({

      left: '200' }, 500, 'linear',  function() {

      });
     });
</code></pre>
