Orientation events do not work for the iPhone and iPad simulator

The orientation events do not work for the iPhone and iPad simulators. Using this code shows that they do not exist.

if (window.DeviceOrientationEvent) {
console.log("DeviceOrientation is supported"); } else if (window.OrientationEvent) { console.log("MozOrientation is supported"); }

window.DeviceOrientationEvent is supported in Chrome. Is there a configuration option that must be changed or is this event not supported at this time? If it is not supported, when will it be supported and how can I get an update?

Thank you.

   We are actually firing the event, but it appears there is an issue with the window.DeviceOrientationEvent test.

   This code will work (e.g. the event will be fired):

   window.onorientationchange = function() {

   alert (window.orientation);
   

   };

   Thank you. That worked great.

   We tried this

            window.addEventListener("orientationchange", onOrientationChanged, false);
   

   but it did not work. What you suggested does work.

   Thank you.

   We tried this
                window.addEventListener("orientationchange", SCADALynxMobile.onOrientationChanged, false);
    but it did not work. What you suggested does work.
