Question

Can someone explain how I can resize a div using jquery when someone clicks on a link.

This code isn’t working:

$(".a_link").click(function() {
    $("#insur_main").css("width","800px");
 });

Answer 1

You might need to enclose your statement in $(document).ready() to ensure that your event is binded when the element is completely loaded.

 $(document).ready(function() {
   $(".a_link").click(function() {
        $("#insur_main").css("width","800px");
    });
 });
