jQuery data() and resize() to change src attribute

I'm working on a script uses jQuery's data() function and HTML5 data attributes to dynamically switch an image's src attribute based on a media query. The idea behind this is to serve a lo-fi image by default (optimized for mobile), and serve a hi-fi image for larger screens. (This is not necessarily limited to images.) The script works 100% in Chrome/Opera/Safari/iOS but not completely in FF and IE.

<img src="ex1_lo-res.png" data-websrc="ex2_hi-res.png" alt="example">
<img src="ex2_lo-res.png" data-websrc="ex2_hi-res.png" alt="example">

A live example of this in use is responsetheme.com, where above 480px wide, the image should be pink, and below 480px wide, it should be yellow. I know that both data() and Modernizr.mq are supported in FF and IE—I tested them without the resize() function. So I think the issue has something t开发者_StackOverflow中文版o do with the trigger or the each() or resize() function. Any idea on what I'm missing?

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    /* get elements that have a data-websrc attribute */
    $websrc = $('[data-websrc]');   

    $websrc.each(function() {   
        /*
        Set data-osrc equal to element's original src value.
        This allows us the ability to access the original src
        (even after we replace the attribute).
        */
        var $this = $(this);    
        $this.data('osrc', $this.attr('src'));
    });             

    $(window).resize(function() {
        /*
        Check breakpoint. 
        (Modernizr.mq checks the media query and returns boolean.)
        */
        airsrcWEB = Modernizr.mq('screen and (min-width:480px)');

        /*
        Replace src with data-websrc (if above breakpoint). 
        Otherwise fallback to data-osrc (original src).
        */
        $websrc.each(function() {           
        var $this = $(this);    
            var src = ( window.airsrcWEB ) ? $this.data('websrc') : $this.data('osrc');
            $this.attr('src', src);
        });                 
    }).resize(); // trigger resize handlers
});

Also, I wasn't sure as to whether I have the functions in the most efficient way as far as which was inside which, so I'd also like to hear any tips for speeding this up. =)

Update 1: I also tried with the ternary like this and still the same issue:

var src = ( airsrcWEB ) ? $this.data('websrc') : $this.data('osrc');

Update 2: I figured out the issue with FF. Apparently a FF6 window won't resize below about 556px wide. I tested the script with a breakpoint above that and the switch worked. (Even the examples on mediaqueri.es won't shrink below 556px wide in FF6.)

You already found out that FF has a minimal window size. I don't know the exact value, but I believe it's a percentage of the initially available viewport width. This is a restriction of XUL, the language in which FF was written.

The question is, is this really a problem in your case? The only persons that fiddle around with the window size are (front-end) webdevelopers. Normal users just load a page and stick with it, so basically I'm thinking that you might not really need to attach this functionality to a resize event.

Furthermore, this is only an issue when users are shrinking the window, not when expanding. If they already loaded the hi-res image, why bother loading the low-res aswell?
