CSS3 UI defines a `resize` property [1], however it's not currently as useful as it could be. There is absolutely no event fired while a user is resizing an element, or even after the resize is over, which makes it very hard to adjust other elements in the page according to the new size of the element (for example when splitting the viewport in multiple resizable panes). DOM3 Events spec allows UAs to fire the resize event on such cases [2]: " A host language may define certain elements to be resizable, and under what conditions (e.g., specific elements like iframe, or elements with particular characteristics like width and height); however, this specification does not define the behavior for elements.", but it’s not required or specified in detail, so most (if not all) UAs don't do it.
