dealing with multiple onresize in IE

I have a script that is called by the window.onresize event. The
problem is that the script is called multiple times when I'm resizing
the window in IE - obviously, because IE continuously fires the
onresize event while it is being resized.

What I'm wondering is - does anyone have any suggestions on making the
script function only once, after the last onresize event, rather than
on every one?

I've done some searching, but I'm not getting much - probably because
I'm having trouble finding a good phrasing for the search.

Any help of suggestions would be appreciated.

Thx!

This is actually a windows window manager configuration option, and
for me other UA's should follow the convention of the WM, of course
they think they know better how a UI should work than how the user's
configured it...

clearTimeout(ti mer)
timer=setTimeou t(dosomething,5 00);

that will perform the action 500ms after the last firing... adjust as
necessary.

Ah- I had forgotten about clearTimeout - thanks!

Hello all, I'm trying to create a little script which will save the width of a certain frame into a database, so that every user still has his/her "own" frame width when logging back on. Now, this works ok, though there's one little problem left: when i click the frameborder and drag it around in IE (it's not working in NN, but that's not my goal since it's a very specific CMS) the onResize handler is called literally hundreds of times.

If I want to call a function (call it doResize) when the browser window is resized, is it better to put that in the body tag: <body onresize="doResize()"> Or is it better to put the call in a script tag in the <head>: <script type="text/javascript"> window.onresize = doResize; </script>

This should attach the event to the onresize of the window object, but when I try to resize the browser after executing the page it does not work... only after I refresh the page. But then of course that's after the HTTP request. Here is the code: <HTML> <HEAD> <script language="javascript"> function Loadit() { var oHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

Hi, I'm using chunked transfer-coding to send an "unending" page, but IE _NEVER_ fires onresize events until the page is finished. Unfortunately, the page never is "finished". How do I handle this?

What I would like to do is have the user start typing in the last name and as they were typing it would retrieve names from the database and give a drop down like autosuggest in google. That much I have figured out. But what I really want is once the name is in the field I would like it to retrieve the rest of the information from the database ie. firstname address etc. and put it other fields on the form. Is this possible?

I am attempting to modify the style of an element (its width) as the window is being resized, in firefox. Long story short, I've tried to use CSS but one particular part of the layout just won't do what I need. The javascript solution assigns a function to window.onresize that sets the inline style, it works with one problem -- the handler only gets called after the resizing stops, and so there is noticeable lag before it redraws.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
