how to capture the resize event in IE8

Question

The resize event does not seems to get fired in IE8 . It works perfectly in Firefox and chrome .

  $(window).resize(function()
  { 
   alert( " resize called " ) ;
  }

Am I missing something .

Answer 1

This has worked for me

$(window).bind("resize", function(e){
   // do something
});

You are also missing the closing bracket for the resize function;
