Need help fixing a mobile theme

  • I have created a mobile theme on WordPress and added the header code:

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />

    I tested it on my smartphone and worked good. However when I rotated the screen, it didn’t stretch out the entire website.

    How do I make the theme stretch out on rotating the screen on your smartphone.

    Thanks

  • I’ve gotten it to work before with something similar to your <meta> tag and some js.

    <script>
    var metas = document.getElementsByTagName('meta');
    var i;
    if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) {
      for (i=0; i<metas.length; i++) {
        if (metas[i].name == "viewport") {
          metas[i].content = "width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0";
        }
      }
      document.addEventListener("gesturestart", gestureStart, false);
    }
    function gestureStart() {
      for (i=0; i<metas.length; i++) {
        if (metas[i].name == "viewport") {
          metas[i].content = "width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.6";
        }
      }
    }
  </script>

    There are plenty of other methods scattered around stackoverflow as well.

    Thanks buddy..

    But that just makes the website zoom in and out.

    Is there a way to force the website on the mobile browser not to rotate when you turn the smartphone ?
