iPad layout scales up when rotating from portrait to landscape

Asked 2011-03-25T15:33:56.353

I have a added to the "viewport" meta tag "width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0" and on an iPad the page loads up fine in landscape mode, the it switches nicely to portrait and when I rotate it back to landscape it scales the page up and I have to pinch zoom it back to a 1 scale.

I can fix this by adding the "maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no", but I was wondering if there is a way I could fix this without taking away from the user the ability to zoom in the page.

If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them,
Thanks!

This one works !

 <script >
// BUG orientation portrait/lanscape IOS //
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i)) {
var viewportmeta = document.querySelector('meta[name="viewport"]');
if (viewportmeta) {
    viewportmeta.content = 'width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, initial-scale=1.0';
    document.addEventListener('orientationchange', function () {
        viewportmeta.content = 'width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1';
    }, false);
  }
}
</script>

When you say it scales the page up, is that all elements, or just the text font size?... For fixing the font size you can use:

html {
    -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
}

to meta:

%meta{content: "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.6, user-scalable=yes", name: "viewport"}

to global script:

if navigator.platform.toLowerCase() is "ipad"
  viewport = $ "meta[name='viewport']"
  viewport_content = viewport.attr("content")

  # reset initial zoom
  viewport.attr "content", "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes"
  setTimeout =>
    viewport.attr "content", viewport_content
  , 0

  # reset zoom on rotate
  timeout = null
  window.onorientationchange = ->
    clearTimeout timeout if timeout?
    viewport.attr "content", "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes"
    timeout = setTimeout =>
      viewport.attr "content", viewport_content
    , 1000
