A resize event occurs when a document view is resized.
The onresize event fires for block and inline objects with layout, irrespective of whether document or CSS property values are changed. Objects have layout when measurements such as the height and width attributes are set, or when the position of the object is set. Intrinsic objects, such as BUTTON, and windowed objects, such as window and IFRAME, fire as expected. This event will not fire for files with embedded controls.
Resizing HTML Applications also fires the onresize event.
While event handlers in the Document Object Model do not receive parameters directly, the handler can query the event object for data.
