Listen to browser width / height changes with jQuery

First you want to start with binding the window resize event to a function of your choosing.

$(window).on("resize", methodToFixLayout);

Now you can determine the new heights and widths and make adjustments to the page from there.

function methodToFixLayout( e ) {
    var winHeight = $(window).height();
    var winWidth = $(window).width();
    //adjust elements css etc.....
    //$("#someDiv").css('someProperty',someValue based on winHeight and winWidth);
}

Without more specifics on your layout it's hard to tell what changes you'll need exactly but this should get you going in the right direction.

There is also this plugin from jqui website.

hope it helps.

It may not be necessary to use JavaScript if you only need to position your element(s) relative to another element instead of the overall document. You can use "position:relative":

<div id="myContainer" style="position:relative">

    <div id="myElement" style="position:absolute;left:100px;"></div>

</div>

Because myContainer has position:relative, myElement will be positioned absolutely but relative to myContainer instead of relative to the overall document. Armed with this, you can construct quite elaborate, but robust positions that will be browser-size-agnostic.
