What I would probably do (and I'm no expert on this) is instead of relying
on the mouse to be over the said element, rely on the mouse being at a
certain location on the screen -- then on a left click event have the block
resize.
So get the location of the border. When the mouse hits that location trigger
an event.
I don't think it's possible to have CSS trigger a javascript event, hence
why I would go by pointer location.
