            });
        </script>

        <style type="text/css">
            .image_outline {
                border: dashed 1px #000;
                width: 300px;
                height: 200px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>

    <body>
        <div class="image_outline"></div>
    </body>
</html>

Here's the code on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dAHt8/

Why is the resizeable plugin not making the div resizeable?

Solution

  • Works fine once you add the right CSS link:

    jsFiddle example.

    For that jsFiddle I linked to the hosted jQuery UI CSS at: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css
