Question

I am using jQuery-UI’s resizable edges to increase the height of a table. I am wondering how to create a thicker bottom border which can be dragged? Increasing the border around the table doesn’t make a difference.

With calling $(...).resize(), you’re able to set any child-element as handle.
Take a look at this example:

$( "#resizeDiv" ).resizable({handles: {'s': '#handle'}});

It enables resizing for the #resizeDiv at the bottom edge, assigning the #handle element as the active dragging area.
