    <p>I am working with multiple tablet devices - both Android <del>and iOS</del>. Currently I have following resolution variations for all the tablets.</p> <ul> <li>1280 x 800</li> <li>1280 x 768</li> <li><del>1024 x 768 (iPad Obviously)</del> - iPad does not have this issue</li> </ul> <p>Simplest way to apply device orientation based style is to use media query's orientation using following syntax.</p> <pre><code>@media all and (orientation:portrait) { /* My portrait based CSS here */ } @media all and (orientation:landscape) { /* My landscape based CSS here */ } </code></pre> <p>This works perfectly fine on all tablet devices. <strong>BUT</strong>, the problem is, when device is in portrait mode and user taps on any input field (eg. search) the soft-keyboard pops up - which reduces the visible area of web page and forces it to render in landscape based css. On android tablet devices, it depends on keyboard's height. So, ultimately the web page looks broken. Therefore, I can't use CSS3's orientation media query to apply styles based on orientation (unless there is better media query to target orientation). Here is a fiddle <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/hossain/S5nYP/5/" rel="noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/hossain/S5nYP/5/</a> which emulates this - for device testing use full test page - <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/S5nYP/embedded/result/" rel="noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/S5nYP/embedded/result/</a></p> <p>Here is a screenshot of the behaviour taken from the demo page. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tNMlf.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>So, is there any alternative to takle this issue, I'm open to JavaScript based solution if native CSS based solution does not work.</p> <p>I found a snippet on <a href="http://davidbcalhoun.com/2010/dealing-with-device-orientation" rel="noreferrer">http://davidbcalhoun.com/2010/dealing-with-device-orientation</a> which suggests to add class on and target based on that. For example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html class="landscape"&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;h1 class="landscape-only"&gt;Element Heading - Landscape&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h1 class="portrait-only"&gt;Element Heading - Portrait&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;!-- .... more... -&gt; # CSS .landscape .landscape-only { display:block; } .landspace .portrait-only { display:none; } .portrait .portrait-only { display:block; } .portrait .landscape-only { display:none; } </code></pre> <p>What do you guys think about this? Do you have better solution? </p>

    1. COJust found out, **iPad** does _NOT_ have this issue. ONLY android OS (honeycomb tablets) and mobiles has this issue.

    2. COI ran into a similar issue with my mobile website. After testing across a couple Android devices, it doesn't seem to be limited to any specific OS or mobile/tablet device. It looks like its primarily a problem with Motorola and Samsung devices. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on our HTC phone.

    3. COThis issue is mainly with android devices, mobile/tablet - only way you can reproduce this is to install custom keyboard which has large height, so that, when the keyboard is showing, the available height for webview is less than available width. Only then, webview triggers orientation change. For example, in the screenshot, if I can disable the suggestion layer on top of keyboard, then this issue will not be there, because, webview height will be greater than width. But, anyway, I haven't got any elegant & efficient solution yet.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
