 * Hey
 * I decided to create my own admin theme. I’ve figured out how to edit styles, 
   but I still don’t understand how to add scripts.
 * I added the necessary code to the plugin. Now I am concerned about the question:
   how to link my JavaScript animation and a certain element in the admin panel.
 * I want to do a button animation on hover in the sidebar. I created a javascript
   animation, attached a javascript file to my plugin. And then the question arises:
   how to link the buttons in this menu with my javascript animation?

 * Hi, bogette
 * Did you use the right way to enqueue the scripts to the admin page? Please read
   more here [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_enqueue_scripts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/admin_enqueue_scripts)

 * Hello, [@longnguyen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/longnguyen/)
 * You misunderstand me a little, unfortunately. And no wonder, it’s difficult to
   explain, so it is not less difficult to understand.
 * I get scripts. Me interested in a different question:
 * To change or add styles – you use the selector. It is not difficult to find, 
   it is enough in chrome to go to the “view code” tab of a certain element.
 * What about Javascript? I created a hover button animation (javascript). I connected
   the file with this javascript to the plugin itself.
 * But how to connect this javascript animation to the buttons in the side menu?
   Through Id, through selector? How?

 * Hi,

 * Each menu has an ID and I’ve tested with simple animation and it works. Maybe
   you not use the right selector?
 *     ```
       (function($){
       	console.log('Hello admin');
   
       	$(document).ready(function() {
       		$('#menu-media').on('mouseenter', function(){
       			$('#menu-media > a').animate({
       				left: '35px',
       			});
       		})
       	})
       })(jQuery)
       ```

 * I was stupid.. The mistake was trivial, thank you.
 * I want to take this opportunity to ask for your opinion, and maybe even get advice:
 * In General, I need a different layout arrangement of blocks on the “users”page.
 * Look at the picture. I need a second layout.

 * It is important to ask: is it possible to implement it without php knowledge?
   Using only css and javascript? I just had to ask you about it, this problem has
   been bothering me for days.
 * How to do it, if it is really possible? And thanks again!
