    onResize + IE = torture

    Hi...

    Is there a way of preventing the second firing of the onResize event in IE?
    It's an absolute bast. In the past few weeks I've come to realise how
    completely and utterly pants IE is. Shame a million percent of people use
    it. : (

      IE?

      Why do you want to hook the onResize event? Just interested :-)

      Cheers

          I have some divs that are different heights when the page initially loads.
          It's not too bad to look at, but I'm implementing a javascript method to
          change the height of all the divs so their bottom edges are all on the same
          level.
          It looks perfectly fine with javascript turned off, I am merely doing it as
          a refinement for those people who have javascript turned on.

          I've had to hack it to get it working in IE... Any advice on how to prevent
          the 2nd firing would be greatly appreciated!

          P.

              Hmmm. IHMO you should be concentrating on refining your content instead of
              trying to defeat what the browser has just decided for its layout.

                  It's hard to say about the double firing without seeing your code.
                  I use onresize in certain situations (for when the user alters font
                  size), and haven't noticed your problem.

                  However, in situations where I get unwanted event firings, I will
                  usually designate a variable that I set, so the unwanted events
                  may be ignored depending on the true or falseness of the variable.

                      IMHO you should either answer the question I asked or not answer at all.

                          That's what I've done in this case. I suppose it'll have to do... I've
                          Googled 'til I'm blue in the face regarding this quirk of IE and it seems
                          it's a behaviour that cannot be altered. Oh well... Maybe one day Micro$haft
                          will release a good browser : )

                          Thanks for the advice, anyway.
