The second statement says that if I dynamically set the 'resize' property
on the element, the factor gets changed to 1.0.

e.g.  "element.style.resize = both" (or whatever the syntax is) will set
       the resize factor to 1.0, even if the specified style was already
       "both" before and the element had been resized to 1.3.
