My goal is to manipulate the height of the div #target when a specific event is triggered, either by reducing/increasing its height from the top or by hiding/showing its content. However, I'm struggling to find a solution to achieve this.
The current code adjusts the height from the bottom, but I need it to adjust the height from the top instead.
$(function() {
$("button:first").on("click", function() {
$("#target").css("height", "+=50px");
});
$("button:last").on("click", function() {
$("#target").css("height", "-=50px");
});
});#target {
background: purple;
color: white;
height: 300px;
width: 200px;
}
div {
float: left;
}<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
<button>PLUS</button>
<button>MINUS</button>
</div>
<div id="target">
