jQuery on window resize

I have the following JQuery code:

$(document).ready(function () {
    var $containerHeight = $(window).height();
    if ($containerHeight <= 818) {
        $('.footer').css({
            position: 'static',
            bottom: 'auto',
            left: 'auto'
        });
    }
    if ($containerHeight > 819) {
        $('.footer').css({
            position: 'absolute',
            bottom: '3px',
            left: '0px'
        });
    }
});

The only problem is that this only works when the browser first loads, I want containerHeight to also be checked when they are resizing the window?

Any ideas?
