Problem resizing the window

[Nabil Benamar]

Hi,
can someone help me please.
I want to reload th page after resizing the window (Browser). I used the
event onresize.
The problem the server gets too many requests (on every resize: pixel by
pixel).
window.onresize = myfunction();
What can I do to reload the page only after releasing the mouse.
Thanks.
Nabil Benamar.

Use settimeout to wait 3 seconds or so after resize, then reload the
page. It will set a timeout for every single pixel it gets resized but
once the page gets reloaded, the ensuing timeouts will be gone.

What is the reason for the reloading? I can't think of one which would be
necessary, certainly not in "all" browsers. Nevertheless, an idea:

var globalvar=false ;
onresize=flag;
onmousedown=unf lag;
onmouseup=trigg er;

function flag(){ globalvar=true; }
function unflag(){ globalvar=false ; }
function trigger(){ if(globalvar==t rue) doyourthing(); }
