I want to reposition an entire div and its contents up about 10-15 pixels.
How can I do this?
Note: this is slider element, so when I click a button the slider slides down. Once it is finished I want to reposition it up about 15 pixels.
$('#div_id').css({marginTop: '-=15px'});
This will alter the css for the element with the id div_id
To get the effect you want I recommend adding the code above to a callback function in your animation (that way the div will be moved up after the animation is complete):
$('#div_id').animate({...}, function () {
$('#div_id').css({marginTop: '-=15px'});
});
And of course you could animate the change in margin like so:
$('#div_id').animate({marginTop: '-=15px'});
