I tried to implement your suggestion but couldn't get it working, but it did
inspire this :
<script language="JavaScript">
window.onresize = fixup;
justResized = false;
function fixup() {
window.setTimeout("qrefresh()",200)
}
function qrefresh() {
if (justResized == false) {
window.location.href = window.location.href
// (and any other code that will be hideous if executed every
millisecond.)
}
justResized = true;
// window will be considered to have been resized until...
window.setTimeout("justResized = false;",200)
}
</script>
which is doing exactly what I wanted!
thanks for your help!
James

Again.
You use event capping.
The way this works is you create a global variable called resizing.
At the start of your resize code you set: resizing = true
At the end of your resize code you set: resizing = false
At the VERY beggining of you resize code you put:
if (resizing) return false;
How this works:
This is an "intelligent" fix as it will "adapt" to the speed of the
computer+browser viewing it.
What you are doing with thisd method, is preventing the browser from reacing
to EVERY resize event,
and only handle at the rate at which it can,.
Basically, you are discaring any resize events which occur while you are
already reacing to resize code.
You can use this method with any kind of event.
IE: Dragging. I found using this method allowed my layer dragging to be
almost as smooth on our Pentium 200mhz laptop
as it was on my Duron 600mhz Dev box.
