Jquery Change Height based on Browser Size/Resize

Solution 1:

If you are using jQuery 1.2 or newer, you can simply use these:

$(window).width();
$(document).width();
$(window).height();
$(document).height();

From there it is a simple matter to decide the height of your element.

Solution 2:

$(function(){
    $(window).resize(function(){
        var h = $(window).height();
        var w = $(window).width();
        $("#elementToResize").css('height',(h < 768 || w < 1024) ? 500 : 400);
    });
});

Scrollbars etc have an effect on the window size so you may want to tweak to desired size.
