Jquery wont select and add the style i want to my element

Question

I have a control called message popover and this has a list of items. when the user clicks on an item in the list they get a description. inside this description is an icon. i want to move this icon down from the top by 5px.

when i run the application and then type

jQuery("#__icon0").css('marginTop', '5px'); 

in the console the icon moves to where i want it to. but when i place it in the code (init or some where else on the page, it does nothing and the icon doesnt move.)

does anyone know why?

Answer 1

Can you try .css('margin-top', '5px'); instead of .css('marginTop', '5px'); ?
