iPad doesn't trigger resize event going from vertical to horizontal?

Question

Has anyone noticed this behavior? I\'m trying to write a script that will trigger upon a resize. It works fine on normal browsers, works fine on iPhone, but on iPad, will on

1. do a nice check if your platform is iPad,

2. handle the iOS specific event orientationchange by catching window.onorientationchange

   if(navigator.platform == 'iPad') {
       window.onorientationchange = function() {
           // handle orientationchange event
           // (here you can take advantage of the orientation property
           //     - see the good answer above by Vincent)
       }       
   }
