Force reload after user changes browser size

[Paul]

Hi,
I'm using a little javascript to help my site's design to fit the
visitor's entire browser window.
Everything works great apart from one problem.
If a visitor first loads the page and the browser isn't maximised, the
page loads correctly BUT if the visitor then proceeds to maximize the
browser, the page is still set for the minimised browser. This condition
stays until the visitor goes to another section of the site or refreshes the
page. When this happens, the page again loads correctly.
I would like to force a page reload whenever the browser is
minimized\maxim ized or is in any other way changed size. How can I do this?

Thanks for your input,

Paul

Try using the window.onresize handler. Not all browsers support it. For
those that doesn't you might want to repeatedly check whether the size
has changed using setInterval:

setInterval(fun ction(){if (getBrowserSize ()!=oldBrowserS ize) {refresh();}},
200);

(where you provide the functions to do the "right thing")

If you use Javascript to resize the page to begin with, why not just
call it again instead of reloading the page. Much less intrusive.
Doesn't work if you use document.write, ofcourse. (So don't do that :)

Thanks, the window.onResize works great.

Just have to test on different browsers to IE now.

I doubt that, since JavaScript is case-sensitive

and not even IE supports "camel case" here.
