The question has already been answered, but since this question do not bring up the question of responsive sites I would like to add some information on that.

I encountered this issue in Chrome on android when developing a responsive web site. When resizing the window I want to hide the menus (due to some design elements needing proper positioning) but the Chrome for android behaviour to trigger a resize event on scroll made that somewhat difficult..

Switching to start using onOrientationChange was not an option since this is a responsive site, there is no orientation change on a desktop PC, but I still needed the code to work on both regular PC:s, tablets and smartphones.

I could had started to do browser sniffing and such but I have so far been able to avoid that..

I tried to implement the solution suggested by CWitty but since scrolling up or down in fact triggers a height-change that did not work either.

I ended up adding a condition that only hides the menu when the width is changed, not when the height has changed. This works in my case since I only need to rewrite the menu when the width is changed.
