The resize() method is an inbuilt method in jQuery that is used when the browser window changes its size. The resize() method triggers the resize event or attaches a function to run when a resize event occurs. jQuery has a built-in method for window resizing events.
Syntax:
$(selector).resize(function)
This syntax is used for cross-browser resize events.
Example 1: This example uses resize() method to count how many times browsers window resize.
html
</script> <script> var x = 1; $(document).ready(function() { $(window).resize(function() { $("span").text(x += 1); }); }); </script> <p>Window resized <span>0</span> times.</p> <p>Try resizing your browser window.</p> |
Output:
You can use the addEventListener() method to register an event handler to listen for the browser window resize event, such as window.addEventListener(‘resize’, …).
Syntax:
object.addEventListner("resize", myscript);
Example 2: This example display the size of resize windows.
html
<div id="result"></div> <script> // Defining event listener function function displayWindowSize() { // Get width and height of the window // excluding scrollbars var w = document.documentElement.clientWidth; var h = document.documentElement.clientHeight; // Display result inside a div element document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = "Width: " + w + ", " + "Height: " + h; } // Attaching the event listener function // to window's resize event window.addEventListener("resize", displayWindowSize); // Calling the function for the first time displayWindowSize(); </script> <p> <strong>Note:</strong> Please resize the browser window to see how it works. </p> |
