How to move an entire div element up x pixels?

by 
$('#div_id').css({marginTop: '-=15px'});

This will alter the css for the element with the id “div_id”

To get the effect you want I recommend adding the code above to a callback function in your animation (that way the div will be moved up after the animation is complete):

$('#div_id').animate({...}, function () {
    $('#div_id').css({marginTop: '-=15px'});
});

And of course you could animate the change in margin like so:

$('#div_id').animate({marginTop: '-=15px'});
