Question

where to place browser event (resize/scroll) detection call

Answer 1

A:

You must write the script tag in the body because it requires that the Dom is loaded:

<script type="text/javascript">

      document.body.onresize=doDisp;
      document.body.onscroll=doDisp;
      function doDisp(){
        alert("browser changing state");
      }

    </script>

Can you clarify. Are you saying that if I want to use the `document.body.onresize` way, I'd have to put the whole `<script>` tag inside the `<body>` not the `<head>` as usual?

Yes because if you put it in the head you must find a way to wait until the body element has been created, while if you put it in the body the script tag is executed after the body has been created so you can assign events to it.
