forcing refresh upon resize

Hello,
When the user resizes the browser (either by clicking on the lower
right or clicking the button at the upper left to maximize screen
dimensions or not), how do I catch that event and then automatically
issue a browser refresh? Ideally, this solution should work for both
IE and Firefox.

Thanks, - Dave

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to annoy your visitors with
something like that?

Hi Dave,

Try something like this:
//Get window's current onResize handler(s)
var oldWindowOnResizeHandler =
(window.onresize) ? window.onresize : function () {};
//Add your own onResize Handers to that
window.onresize = function () {
oldWindowOnResizeHandler();
// do your thing here
};

window.onresize=function()
{
window.onresize=null;

if(confirm('The author of this page considers it desirable that it be re-loaded on the occasion of its re-sizing.\n\nTo
authorise this, click [OK]'))
document.location=document.location;
}

Browsers do a redraw of the page when a resize event is fired on the
window object. So the natural, normal question to ask is why would you
need to do a refresh anyway?

Why the empty function if window.onresize is not defined? Seems like
overkill.
