How to resize ONLY horizontally or vertically with jQuery UI Resizable?

Question

The only solution I\'ve found is to set the max and min height or width with the current value.

Example:

foo.resizable({ 
  maxHeight: foo.height(),          


        

Answer 1

You could set the resize handles option to only show on the left and right (or east/west), like this:

foo.resizable({
    handles: 'e, w'
});​

You can give it a try here.
