How do I lock the orientation to portrait mode in a iPhone Web Application?
iphone, orientation
Solution
You can specify CSS styles based on viewport orientation: Target the browser with body[orient="landscape"] or body[orient="portrait"]

However...
Apple's approach to this issue is to allow the developer to change the CSS based on the orientation change but not to prevent re-orientation completely. I found a similar question elsewhere:

Problem
I'm building a iPhone Web Application and want to lock the orientation to portrait mode. is this possible? Are there any web-kit extensions to do this? Please note this is an application written in HTML and JavaScript for Mobile Safari, it is NOT a native application written in Objective-C.
