I've been trying to change the height of a div but It's not changing it. I've tried a few different approaches, does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Method 1:

$(window).resize(function() {
var newheight = "=500";
$("bodyContainer").css("height",newheight);
});

Method 2:

$(window).resize(function() {
var newheight = 500;
$("bodyContainer").height(newheight);
});

If bodyContainer is the id of the element, select it with the ID Selector, like $("#bodyContainer").

If it is the class of the element, select it with the Class Selector, like $(".bodyContainer").

I'm pretty sure that method one is wrong, it should be .css("height",500); or .css("height","500");. Method 2 is fine.

There is a height() method in jQuery. You can pass it a parameter to set the height of the selected element. Just remember to use either (#) for selecting elements by id or (.) for selecting elements by class like anonymouscodder suggested. Not including either one of these will try to select the html element. For example, $("tr") will select all tr elements of the document.
