You can use media queries to determine orientation for changing the css based on orientation, or with js if you need to for js reasons. This post was written in 2007, when the first iPhone first came out. Back then the media query for orientation was not supported. It is now. I think i included that in the slide show attached -- which was done in 2010. @Alfred

Why not use ?

As much as site development adapts and changes quickly, the rules for getting to understand your client and their needs very much remain the same.

Would recommend browser sniffing via js, or is there a CSS hack. I know that using the parent > child selector won't work anymore, but I was wondering if maybe there is a Microsoft Transform hack or something. Thanks! It's good to see other women in tech!
