I\'ve the following sample html, there is a DIV which has 100% width. It contains some elements. While performing windows re-sizing, the inner elements may be re-positioned,
There is a very efficient method to determine if a element's size has been changed.

This library has a class ResizeSensor which can be used for resize detection.
It uses an event-based approach, so it's damn fast and doesn't waste CPU time.
Example:
new ResizeSensor(jQuery('#divId'), function(){
console.log('content dimension changed');
});
Please do not use the jQuery onresize plugin as it uses setTimeout() in combination with reading the DOM clientHeight/clientWidth properties in a loop to check for changes.
This is incredible slow and inaccurate since it causes layout thrashing.
Disclosure: I am directly associated with this library.
