I'm trying to figure out how to change an embedded web page when the user rotates their phone from portrait to landscape mode - basically to load a view that is better suited to the wider screen format. Is this possible to do without calling a new page from the server, i.e. to drive it from within CSS/Javascript itself?
Thanks!
You can use the window.orientation
property. Its value is the degree that the current mode of view is used. Here is a brief example:
function updateOrientation()
{
var orientation=window.orientation;
switch(orientation)
{
case 0:
break;
case 90:
break;
case -90:
break;
}
}
You can use this function on this event:
window.onorientationchange=updateOrientation;
Hope that helps!
