One solution is extend jQuery with a function, e.g.: resized

$.fn.resized = function (callback, timeout) {
    $(this).resize(function () {
        var $this = $(this);
        if ($this.data('resizeTimeout')) {
            clearTimeout($this.data('resizeTimeout'));
        }
        $this.data('resizeTimeout', setTimeout(callback, timeout));
    });
};

Sample usage:

$(window).resized(myHandler, 300);
