[Javascript] refresh on resize window/reload .js file only

Thu May 17 11:17:56 CDT 2001

Thanks. I should have known about the onResize handler. Didn't think about it. 

Let me explain why I asked the second part of this question. I am using heirmenus to create some sweet little menus for my site. Unfortunately they are "anchored" position-wise to images that are on the page. I have a formula that will position these menus correctly for different resolutions and window sizes. But if the user changes the the size of the window after it is loaded, the formulas don't reset the positions by themselves, so without the refresh action, the menus are all over the place EXCEPT where they are supposed to be. The refresh works great, but it will be a problem for those pages that require input into forms, since a refresh will reset all the forms back to the last time the page was loaded and all input since then will be lost. There may not be a way to do this, but I thought I'd ask anyway. By the way, the menu script is loaded through an included .js file, that is unrelated to the data input. Maybe if there was a way to just call the .js file without reloading the entire page......

Thanks.

Hmmmm - have to think about that a bit. Would the "reloaded" file 
replace existing variables/functions or add new ones?
