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(),

For me solutions with both handles and resize handler worked fine, so user see handle but can resize only horizontally, similar solution should work for vertical. Without bottom right handler user might be unaware that he can resize element.

When using ui.size.height = ui.originalSize.height; it will not work properly if element changed it's size from initial state.

foo.resizable({
    // Handles left right and bottom right corner
    handles: 'e, w, se',
    // Remove height style
    resize: function(event, ui) {
        $(this).css("height", '');
    }
});

For better performance $(this) could be removed:

var foo = jQuery('#foo');
foo.resizable({
    // Handles left right and bottom right corner
    handles: 'e, w, se',
    // Remove height style
    resize: function(event, ui) {
        foo.css("height", '');
    }
});
