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?
$(window). on('resize', function(){ var win = $(this); //this = window if (win. height() >= 820) { /* ... */ } if (win.
The resize event occurs when the browser window changes size. The resize() method triggers the resize event, or attaches a function to run when a resize event occurs.
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);
