I\'m trying to do it like so, but am having problems. I\'m using the JQuery Resize

Answer 1

Debounce.

function debouncer( func , timeout ) {
   var timeoutID , timeout = timeout || 200;
   return function () {
      var scope = this , args = arguments;
      clearTimeout( timeoutID );
      timeoutID = setTimeout( function () {
          func.apply( scope , Array.prototype.slice.call( args ) );
      } , timeout );
   }
}


$( window ).resize( debouncer( function ( e ) {
    // do stuff 
} ) );

Note, you can use this method for anything you want to debounce (key events etc).

Tweak the timeout parameter for optimal desired effect.
