Disable Browser Window Resize

Question

For starters... I have no sinister intention of subjecting users to popups or anything like that. I simply want to prevent a user from resizing the browser window of a webpa

Answer 1

I needed to do this today (for a panel opened by a chrome extension) but I needed to allow the user to change the window height, but prevent them changing the window width

@Derek's solution got me almost there but I had to tweak it to allow height changes and because of that, an endless resizing loop was possible so I needed to prevent that as well. This is my version of Dereck's answer that is working quite well for me:

var couponWindow = {
  width: $(window).width(),
  height: $(window).height(),
  resizing: false
};
var $w=$(window);
$w.resize(function() {
  if ($w.width() != couponWindow.width && !couponWindow.resizing) {
    couponWindow.resizing = true;
    window.resizeTo(couponWindow.width, $w.height());
  }
  couponWindow.resizing = false;
});
