Why did "it's a trap?" slide from left to middle?

This was great, but I'm confused about how and why the it's a trap showed while sliding from the left top of the screen to the middle. Wasn't it supposed to just appear slowly while in place? What caused it to slide.

Hi Omar,

The reason why the text is sliding has nothing to do with jQuery. The text is sliding because of the styles.css file.

Delete the .warning code block in the style.css:

.warning {
  border: 5px solid #e1dfbe;
  width: 200px;
  margin: 100px auto 20px;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 20px 10px;
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 32px
}

Now the text will not slide.

I hope that helps.
