JQuery to refresh browser when Browser is resized

I found the following function that will refresh my browser when the browser is resized. Is this the best way to do it or is there a better code that works cross browser?

/refresh page on browser resize
$(window).bind('resize', function(e)
{
  if (window.RT) clearTimeout(window.RT);
  window.RT = setTimeout(function()
  {
    this.location.reload(false); /* false to get page from cache */
  }, 200);
});

Open in new window

Whats the point of the reload?

That would be a good way of doing it, but I'm with Gary, why would you want to do this?

$(window).resize(function () { location.reload();});

On the pages of my site, I'm using Cufon.js Font replacement. When I size down my screen for a responsive design the page needs to reload for the new CSS at specific break points. There are different font sizes at different browser sizes. Without the page refreshing the design does not "Snap" into the new css parameters.

Is there a better way to do this?

In addition to this question, If I have a form on a page, is there a way to keep the form from re-submitting if the page refreshes?
