recursion with resize events

[[email protected]…]

The code below produces a recursion, unless I change the namespace in function reposition() to a different than for the window-resize-event. This behavior was not in jquery v1.5.1 f.e. (not tested others) From my understanding this is a bug.

$(window).unbind("resize.divlayout").bind("resize.divlayout", function() {

console.log('window resize'); reposition();

}).trigger("resize.divlayout");

function reposition() { $("#website_body").unbind('resize.divlayout').bind('resize.divlayout', function() {

console.log('website_body resize'); if( $("#website_page").css("position") != 'absolute' ) {

$("#website_page").css("padding-top", $("#website_body").height() / 2 - $("#website_page").height() /2 + "px");

}else {

$("#website_page").css("top", $("#website_body").height() / 2 - $("#website_page").height() /2 + "px");

} }).trigger('resize.divlayout');

}

<div id="website_body">

<div id="website_page">&nbsp;</div>

</div>

Thanks for your fast response. Here is the jsfiddle-fork test case: ​http://jsfiddle.net/E8Dtg/1/

in production FF 7.0.1 crashes FF 3.6 firebug msg: to much recursion IE 8.0 out of memory other browsers not tested.

An infinite loop was created...the crash is a good thing.
