705064 - Resize event should be also applicable to others elements than window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 227495

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Xavier Mouton-Dubosc]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
Build ID: 20111115183813

Steps to reproduce:

I created a <div> with syle="resize: horizontal;"
then on this div , i attached a function to "onresize".


Actual results:

The "onresize" is never called. As MDC is stating cf https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.onresize
«Only the window object has an onresize event. »


Expected results:

Now that users can resize HTML elements via resize css rule, thopse elements should be able to fire "resize" events in DOM
