title: window.resize event firing in Internet Explorer
body: <p>As you are aware, in Internet Explorer, <strong>the window.resize event is fired when any element on the page is resized.</strong> It does not matter whether the page element is resized through assigning/changing its height or style attribute, by simply adding a child element to it, or whatever -- even though the element resizing does not affect the dimensions of the viewport itself.</p>
  
  <p>In my application, this is causing a nasty recursion, since in my window.resize handler I am resizing some &lt;li&gt; elements, which in turn re-fires window.resize, etc. Again, this is only a problem in IE.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to <strong>prevent window.resize from firing in IE in response to elements on the page being resized?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I should also mention that I'm using jQuery.</p>
