Onresize for div elements?

Question

Visual Studio highlighted my onresize attribute of my div tag, and says that it isn\'t a valid attribute for HTML5. Is this true? What should I use

Answer 1

Microsoft's Internet Explorer supports onresize on all HTML elements. In all other Browsers the onresize is only available at the window object. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.onresize

If you wanna have onresize at a div in all browsers check this:

This library has a class ResizeSensor which can be used for resize detection.
