At the recent Houdini meeting there was a vague agreement between the
browser engines on adding a way for elements to be notified when their
size changes. We've run into a number of scenarios where this is
extremely useful, and is otherwise difficult or annoying (e.g. checking
your size on a timer).
The idea was to allow the resize event on elements. I don't really care
what the solution is, so maybe someone here can come up with a better
idea (size observers?). And of course there are a lot of details to be
worked out.
If we settle on a solution fairly soon I will implement it in WebKit
nightly builds so people can play.
I'd like to point out that the <video> element fires a resize event when
the video resource changes size, per spec. I don't know if this is
implemented by anyone, though; likely that event can be renamed.
