That's a toughie - I had the resize bug in place on a framed site (on
the content pages only) which worked well on the PC, but failed on the
Mac. I used this:
view-source:http://www.lightpointe.com/blocks/scripting.js

But it only worked consistently, everywhere, when I added it to the top
frameset as well. :-\

You might try using modifying the code to include an explicit reference
to top.* events.

Anyone have better ideas than that?
