Hi,

I need to some how reload the page when a user re sizes their browser. I’m using jquery.

I’m able to reload the page on click and i can peform a function on resize, but for some reason the reload bit doesn’t work when in the function that firs on resize.

What i have so far:

This works on click

$('#target').click(function() {


window.location.reload(true);
});

and this fires the resizeWindow function ok but the window.location.reload(true); is ignored

 $(window).bind("resize", resizeWindow);
 
 function resizeWindow( e ) {
	  alert('Handler for .click() called.');



			};

Anyone got any ideas, search loads and can’t seem to find anything. It can be done can’t it?

Thanks

Ben

something like this should work with mootools/jquery:

window.addEvent('resize', function() {
     window.location.reload();
});

Hey thanks for the reply, for some reason that doesn’t work. I just cant get the reload to work within a resize function. It’s fine if it’s applied to a click or something.
