Description

Loading the following page in IE8 and pressing the 'Open Dialog' button will cause an endless resize-event loop.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

</head>
<body>

<div id="jqd" title="Test!">
	<textarea name="test"></textarea>
</div>

<input type="button" value="Open Dialog" onclick="$('#jqd').dialog({ modal: true, width: 'auto' });" />

</body>
</html>

After loading the page and pressing the button, add a breakpoint to line 7724 in jquery-ui.js (first line in the resize event handler for dialogs) and you will see this point is hit without end.

The infinite loop will be stopped if you outcomment line 7644:

$(window).bind('resize.dialog-overlay', $.ui.dialog.overlay.resize);

This information may help further in fixing the bug.

Cheers, B

I can't reproduce this.

For what it's worth, I was having the same endless event-loop issue in both jQuery-UI 1.8.1 and 1.8.6 in IE8 and commenting out the above line stopped said loop.

Please provide a reduced test case showing the problem.
