Access accelerometer via Javascript in Android?

Question

Is there any way to access accelerometer data using Javascript on Android\'s browser? I know it supports \"onorientationchange\", but I\'d like to get everything.

If you are trying to access the accelerometer from a webpage hosted on a server (verus one integrated into a native application through WebView), than the accelerometer data does not appear to be available as of now for Android.
