jQuery UI resizable : auto height when using east handle alone
i have a jqueryui re-sizable div. I want only the width to be re-sizable and the height to remain auto, so that the div grows or shrinks with the content. If i set it to display only the east handle and use css `height:auto`, after resize the height also gets set even though only the width changed. I have to set the height to auto on resize event everytime like so:

    resize: function(event, ui) {
        $(this).css('height', 'auto');
    }

to prevent the height from being set. Is there a better way to prevent the height from getting set when only the east handle is used?
