How to detect CSS3 resize events

The CSS3 resize property can be assigned to arbitrary elements. I'm looking for a way to detect such a resize on, say, divs (I don't mind it only working in Firefox at the moment):

div {
  resize: horizontal;
  overflow: hidden;
}

Unfortunately, the onresize event seems not to be fired on the div. How can I detect in JavaScript when such a user-instantiated resize has happened?

Edit: FWIW I had opened a bug report over at Mozilla. If you want to track it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701648

Solution

  • Listen to DOMAttrModified events. Got the idea from this answer, this jsFiddle appears to work in Firefox 8 (if you open the console).
