Name
Window.onresize — the handler invoked when a window is resized
Availability
JavaScript 1.2
Synopsis
<body onresize="handler" ... > <frameset onresize="handler" ... >window.onresize
Description
The onresize property of the Window object
specifies an event handler function that is invoked when the user
changes the size of the window or frame.
The
initial value of this property is a function that contains the
JavaScript statements specified by the onresize
attribute of the HTML <body> or
<frameset> tag that defined the window. When
an event handler function is defined by an HTML attribute, it is
executed in the scope of element rather
than in the scope of the containing window.
In the Netscape 4 event model, the onresize
handler function is passed an Event object as an argument. In the IE
event model, no argument is passed, but the applicable Event object
is available as the event property of the Window
object that contains the element.
In Netscape, the new size of the window is available from the
width and height properties of
the Event object.
