Using CSS Media Queries to Style Your iPhone and iPad HTML

April 17, 2010
In my previous post, I showed how you can use JavaScript to detect orientation and style your iPhone and iPad pages. As reader Jason Grigsby kindly pointed out, you can also do this purely with CSS Media Queries! I've reworked the file I made for that example to use CSS Media Queries to do just that. I split the iPad style into two files: ipad-portrait.css, showing the upcoming and new content under the news content; and ipad-landscape.css, showing the upcoming and new content to the right of the news content. The behavior of the web page is the same in the previous example, but doesn't require any JavaScript to make it all work.
