detecting and acting on a window resize

[daveyand]

Hey Guys

I am able to detect a window resize using the following code:

window.onresize = function () {
if(document.getElementById("parent_for_video").style.display !=
"none") {
calculate_positions();

//Resize the main div
gray_div = document.getElementById("gray_div");
gray_div.style.height = h;
gray_div.style.width = w;

main_div = document.getElementById("main_div");
main_div.style.height = video_overlay_height;
main_div.style.width = video_overlay_width;
main_div.style.top = video_overlay_top;
main_div.style.right = video_overlay_right;


}//if(document.getElementById("parent_for_video").style.display !=
"none")
}//window.onresize = function ()

You should be able to see that when a resize is detected i move and
resize a couple of divs.

The thing is though i cant work out how to do this in real time. That
is the calculations only happen when i let go out the mouse. So if i
resize from massive to small the changes dont get reflected untill i
stop dragging the mouse.

I'd like to be able to resize and stuff as the mouse is dragging the
dimensions.

Hope that makes sense and someone can help

Cheers

Andy

A while back, the browsers fired the onresize event every pixel it got
resized. Every time you moved 1 pixel, the event got fired. It got very
annoying if an alert was thrown up! Now, it has been changed where
onresize fires like onresizeend does in IE - after the browser has been
completely resized.

I'd like to be able to resize and stuff as the mouse is dragging the
dimensions.

You can't anymore.

Damn.

Oh well. Thanks.

I guess i could always do a setTimeout() situation. But no point
really.
