changing innerHTML seems to destroy

[moonphrase]

after doing...

$( "#mydiv" ).resizable({ ... })

(which works for me, as intended)

and then doing...

$('#mydiv').html('Am I still resizable?');

the resizability goes away. The #mydiv is no longer resizable.

i messed up with the heading for this bug. I meant to complete the phrase "changing innerHTML seems to destroy "resizable" functionality

[Scott González]

That's correct. You're removed the handles by doing that.

Replying to scott.gonzalez:

?!? Why would you consider that as normal and final?

Wouldn't preserving the resizable handle, regardless of the other modifications, provide enormously more powerful development/design features, than not?

(Or perhaps this is more of a feature request?)

there are so many more design options that open up, with your "resizable" handle having more "staying power" :-)

[Scott González]

How would you propose this work?

[moonphrase]

Not sure, at this point. I would be willing to help. If you guys clue me in on the code internals (the relevant functions), perhaps I might contribute some algorithmic idea, or be the user-end "gad fly" to make it happen (or something in-between :-)). I can start by exploring the code myself.

Also, i'm not sure how you guys communicate when you're developing - I hope not only through this ticket system :-)

(I was able to send emails to two people on your team, but not to you (Scott) - couldn't find your address anywhere.

Here's the important part: handles are children of the resizable element. I see no possible solution to get around that.

You should read the ​contributing guidelines.
