How set screen orientation to landscape with javascript?

[Maryna Brodina]

Code pre$(window).bind('orientationchange', function(e) {
/* do something */
});/pre works for us. Could you clarify where did you add this code? What did you add on this event? Please try to add alert instead of this event and check if it works for you.

jep, orientation change detection works fine, buut i dont need to do something when its changed, all i need is just set one screen orientation to landscape when screen loads, nothing more.

You can search more information online, but looks like it's not possible to lock orientation for one screen only

Maryna, I was searching for a solution to the same problem and found this post. I did a quick test, and the cod above works. However, I am not sure what the structure of the "e" object is, and how I can determine "portrait" or "landscape" from this object.

Do you know?

Thanks,

Found the answer, I need to look at window.orientation property, 90 and -90 mean landscape, otherwise portrait.

Thanks,

if (window&#46;orientation < 0) &#47;&#47; Portrait
{
alert("portrait");
Apperyio("MainMenuPanel")&#46;attr("data-dismissible",true);
} else &#47;&#47; Landscape

i alreay figured this problem by the ff code:

code

$( window )&#46;on( "orientationchange", function( event ) {
&#47;&#47;alert( "This device is in " + event&#46;orientation + " mode!" );
if(event&#46;orientation=="portrait"){
alert("portrait");
}else{
alert("landscape");
}
});
/code
