Im using this to run some code when a browser window is resized: $(window).resize(callback)
I also need to run this code when the orientation is changed in phones and tablets. Will the above fire on this event?
Some devices/browsers do, some not. You need to decide your supported browsers and devices.
If you want to be on secure side you should use the resize event and get/check the sizes inside in it; if you know your desired devices go with a simple orientation change:
Easy solution:
// Listen for orientation changes
window.addEventListener(orientationchange, function() {
// Announce the new orientation number
alert(window.orientation);
}, false);
More secure/supported
// Listen for resize changes
window.addEventListener(resize, function() {
// Get screen size (inner/outerWidth, inner/outerHeight)
}, false);
