move div with CSS transition

Question

I am using following code to display a hidden div on hover. I'm using the CSS transition property for to fade in the hidden div. Is it possible to slide in the hidden (for example from left to right) div instead of fading in using the CSS only? Here's my code:

HTML

<div class="box">
    <a href="#"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8207/8275533487_5ebe5826ee.jpg"></a>
    <div class="hidden"></div>
</div>

CSS

.box{
    position: relative;    
}

.box .hidden{    
   background: yellow;
    height: 300px;    
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;    
    width: 500px;
    opacity: 0;    
    transition: all 1s ease;
}

.box:hover .hidden{
    opacity: 1;
}

Answer 1

Something like this?

DEMO

And the code I used:

.box{
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
}

.box:hover .hidden{

    left: 0px;
}

.box .hidden {    
    background: yellow;
    height: 300px;    
    position: absolute; 
    top: 0;
    left: -500px;    
    width: 500px;
    opacity: 1;    
    -webkit-transition: all 0.7s ease-out;
       -moz-transition: all 0.7s ease-out;
        -ms-transition: all 0.7s ease-out;
         -o-transition: all 0.7s ease-out;
            transition: all 0.7s ease-out;
}

I may also add that it's possible to move an elment using transform: translate(); , which in this case could work something like this - DEMO nr2
