[Users] Resizing a mapPanel with a windows onresize event with IE8

[Phil Scadden]

mapPanel is confined to a div within existing mark-up. However, I want 
the div to resize so it fills the remaining screen. I had being using a 
windows.onResize to calculation new dimensions and set the size
(using this code).


         function pageY(elem) {
             return elem.offsetParent ? (elem.offsetTop + 
pageY(elem.offsetParent)) : elem.offsetTop;
         }
         var buffer = 10; //scroll bar buffer
         function doResize() {
             var height = window.innerHeight || 
document.body.clientHeight || document.documentElement.clientHeight;
             var width = window.innerWidth || document.body.clientwidth 
|| document.documentElement.clientWidth;
             height -= pageY(document.getElementById('AllContents'))+ 
buffer ;
         height = (height < 0) ? 0 : height;
         if (mapPanel) mapPanel.setSize(width,height);
         }

Works on all browser except IE.
On IE, the setsize calls the onresize event to be called again and this 
then repeats, shrinking the map till height is zero.

Is there a better way to do this (I DONT want to use ext viewport or 
layouts)? and what is the secret for doing this in IE?
