[jQuery] Re: binding to two events (resize and onload)

[Erik Beeson]

Maybe try:

$(document).ready(resizeCols);
$(window).bind('load', resizeCols);

Or maybe you're getting a javascript error in one of the lines before
the alert that's causing it to halt. Check the firebug console or try
adding an alert at the top of the function.

Hi there
I have a wacky fix to the age old problem of fluid column widths (a
table would do of course). It involves using jquery to calculate the
sizes of my columns - the splitter code is a bit over the top for my
needs. So I have some simple code but I can't seem to get it to work.

        $(document).bind("ready", resizeCols);
        $(document).bind("resize", resizeCols);

        function resizeCols() {
                //Get full width of central col
                var divWidth = $('#col-centre').width();
                //now main should always be 80% and side 205px
                mainWidth = divWidth - 205;
                alert(mainWidth);
                $('#main-content').width(mainWidth);
        }

The alert doesn't show at all and Im not entirely sure why - I don't
get any errors showing up. My guess is that Im binding wrong - any
suggestions?

Thanks
