DOM onresize event

Question

If I have this

window.onresize = function() {
  alert(\'resized!!\');
};

My function gets fired multiple times throughout the res

Answer 1

I liked Pim Jager's elegant solution, though I think that there's an extra paren at the end and I think that maybe the setTimeout should be "timeOut = setTimeout(func,100);"

Here's my version using Dojo (assuming a function defined called demo_resize())...

var _semaphorRS = null;
dojo.connect(window,"resize",function(){
 if (_semaphorRS != null) clearTimeout(_semaphorRS);
 _semaphorRS = setTimeout(demo_resize, 500);
 });

Note: in my version the trailing paren IS required.
