There is a matter of compatibilty, I tested this on IE and Mozilla. It worked fine on IE but it had showed result on mozilla so you have to play around with it to the it working for both.



After some research i found that this code works on mozilla



window.onresize = resize;



function resize()

{

alert("resize event detected!");

}

If you place this script in the <head> then will not work, but if place within the <body> then will work. Did verify both scenarios.

The <body onResize=""> will work, but if you want to create an onResize trigger from within script, you need to use lowercase.



<script type="text/javascript">

   onresize=FunctionName;

</script>



Hope this helps.
