Question

I have two different sized images, one if for screens smaller than 759px, the other is for screens larger than 759px.

I have managed to get the source of the images to change when the document loads depending on the window width. But I really would like to be able to do this when the browser is resized as well but for the life of me I can’t get it to do that, it only seems to work when the page is initially loaded.

This is my code:

$(document).ready(function() {
    function imageresize() {
        var contentwidth = $(window).width();
        if ((contentwidth) < '700'){
            $('.fluidimage').each(function(){
                var thisImg = $(this);
                var newSrc = thisImg.attr('src').replace('x2', 'x1');
                thisImg.attr('src', newSrc);
            });
        } else {
            $('.fluidimage').each(function(){
                var thisImg = $(this);
                var newSrc = thisImg.attr('src').replace('x1', 'x2');
                thisImg.attr('src', newSrc);
            });
        }
    }

    imageresize();//Triggers when document first loads

    $(window).bind("resize", function(){//Adjusts image when browser resized
        imageresize();
    });
 });

First try this…

change your follwoing line of code

$(window).bind("resize", function(){//Adjusts image when browser resized
        imageresize();
    });

to

// Bind event listener
    $(window).resize(imageresize);

and put alert inside imageresize to see if it works or not…

In case above do not work out…I believe there is one problem probably..

in your code you have

$(document).ready(function() {

 $(window).bind("resize", function(){//Adjusts image when browser resized
        imageresize();
    });
}

So the function for reside inside jquery which may not work well. On top of that try using simple javascript; i had similar problem and solved using plain javascript and jquery did not work in some browsers.

Sound strange enough to stop you try at it but would work…
