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

This includes all orientations.

Here are two options:

window.onorientationchange = function() {

    var orientation = window.orientation;

    // Look at the value of window.orientation:

    if (orientation === 0) {
    // iPad is in Portrait mode.

    } else if (orientation === 90) {
     // iPad is in Landscape mode. The screen is turned to the left.

    } else if (orientation === -90) {
     // iPad is in Landscape mode. The screen is turned to the right.

    } else if (orientation === 180) {
    // Upside down portrait.

    }
}    

or

// Checks to see if the platform is strictly equal to iPad:
    if(navigator.platform === 'iPad') {
            window.onorientationchange = function() {

            var orientation = window.orientation;

            // Look at the value of window.orientation:

            if (orientation === 0) {
            // iPad is in Portrait mode.

            } else if (orientation === 90) {
             // iPad is in Landscape mode. The screen is turned to the left.

            } else if (orientation === -90) {
             // iPad is in Landscape mode. The screen is turned to the right.

            } else if (orientation === 180) {
            // Upside down portrait.

            }
          }       
        }
