The onresize property of the GlobalEventHandlers interface is an EventHandler that processes resize events.
The resize event fires after the window has been resized.
Syntax
window.onresize = functionRef;
Value
functionRef is a function name or a function expression. The function receives a FocusEvent object as its sole argument.
Examples
Window size logger
<p>Resize the browser window to fire the <code>resize</code> event.</p> <p>Window height: <span id="height"></span></p> <p>Window width: <span id="width"></span></p>
const heightOutput = document.querySelector('#height');
const widthOutput = document.querySelector('#width');
function resize() {
heightOutput.textContent = window.innerHeight;
widthOutput.textContent = window.innerWidth;
}
window.onresize = resize;
