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

I wanted to allow re-size the width when browser re-sizes, but not when user changes the size of element, this worked fine:

foo.first().resizable({
    resize: function(event, ui) { 
    ui.element.css('width','auto');
    },
});
