Question Hi. How do I detect if the browser window has been resized? I placed this code in my body tag:
onResize="alert('Thanks For Resizing');"
but doesn't work. I'm using IE6 on WinXP PC. Any suggestions? I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
Answer Hi there Mark,
To be honest, I'm not sure why that's not working for you. When I try that - it works fine for me and I get the alert. I am also using IE6 on WinXP. My body tag looks like this:
<body onResize="alert('body resize');">
There is another way to do the same thing, and perhaps that method may work for you when this one doesn't for some reason. Put a script tag in your page like this:
<script language="Javascript">
document.body.onresize = function (){
alert("Thanks for resizing!");
}
</script>
That method also works for me, and it may work for you too.
