onresize does not work

Question

I'm doing a responsive site then a I'm using:

window.addEventListener("resize", function(){
   if(window.innerWidth < 768){
      //execute some code
   }
   else{
      //execute some code
   }
});

When my navigator is at full width and click at the "Restore Down" button the window is resized to a width less then 768 the code inside of addEventListener("resize") doesn't work. These images below shows the condition of this "resize". My code works only when I resize the window using the pointer of the mouse.

Any solution for this situation?

Answer 1

onresize doesn't fire with attachEvent or addEventListener. you must attach your callback directly to window.onresize.

syntax

window.onresize = funcRef;

example

window.onresize = resize;

function resize() {
    alert("resize event detected!");
}
