Instead of just if (windowsize < 1000) you also need to know the current status.

if (is_large && windowsize < 1000)
{

}
else if (!is_large)
{
    is_large = true;
    // code to handle transition to large size
}

You also need to handle the case of setting is_large on page load before the initial call to checkWidth().
