script for opera 6 reload page on resize???

[sjvilla79]

hi guys,

im trying to code me a script that will reload the page if opera 6 reloads the page. similar to the netscape 4+ reload page trick when working with DHTML/layers. anybody got any ideas on this one, well the script i am after really but any thoughts are still cool.

thanks,

scott

I am not sure if you'll find anything but check

Only way I know of is to run a timeout(), and check the page width/height every few seconds - reload if changed, but thats just crude.

I dont think you'll need to use the time out.

just use the same code that used for NN resize but chnage the code to reload the page unless its IE.

here is the code from Macromedia Dreamweaver that uses to check for resize and reloads if required

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_reloadPage(init) {  //reloads the window if Nav4 resized
  if (init==true) with (navigator) {if ((appName=="Netscape")&&(parseInt(appVersion)==4)) {
    document.MM_pgW=innerWidth; document.MM_pgH=innerHeight; onresize=MM_reloadPage; }}
  else if (innerWidth!=document.MM_pgW || innerHeight!=document.MM_pgH) location.reload();
}
MM_reloadPage(true);
// -->
</script>

I think this will work but.. if it does not then let me know and I'll modify it to work for Opera as well.

Opera dosen't support the onresize event, if it did we wouldn't be here, talking about this

um... then I guess we cant do much about it, part from desiging the site properly... in a way so that it works on every browsers.

let me know what dicision you make.
