JQuery: $(window).resize() not working

I'm trying to manually fire the $(window).resize() method on page load. I created a function to center a div element vertically and horizontally on the page ``` $(window).resize(function(){ $('.pagecentered').css({ position: 'absolute', left: ($(window).width() - $('.pagecentered').outerWidth())/2, top: ($(window).height() - $('.pagecentered').outerHeight())/2 }); }); ``` After this function I call ``` $(window).resize(); ``` to fire the resize() event manually. Unfortunately it doesn't work. On reload the div is not centered as expected. If I resize the browser window the div element is centered it only isn't fired on page load. Is there any way to solve this? I'm using Chrome 27.0.1453.116 m (latest version atm) and JQuery 1.10.2
