Testing/mocking an orientation change in Chrome?

google-chrome, jquery-mobile, orientation

Solution

Since a desktop device doesn't have any real orientation changes, like mobile devices does have, it's no use to listen to `orientationchange`. You could simulate orientation by resizing the browser window though.

Problem

We're writing a mobile app using jQuery mobile and do most of the javascript debugging in Chrome. One thing I can't test however is an orientation change, from portrait to landscape and vice versa. I have to use a phone to fire that event, and am unable to debug the javascript window.orientationchange event without Chrome. Or so it would seem. Is there a way to mock this event in Chrome somehow?
