UIWebView rotation on iPad

Question

On the iPad, I present a view in the \"detail\" side of a split view controller that is basically just a UIWebView, which loads an HTML file in the application bund

Answer 1

Just solved my issue with this by adding this HTML5 Viewport meta tag:

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />

to the head section of my HTML, maybe a variation of this meta tag may help?

Although my issue was triggered when my app was started in landscape mode, while yours in portrait mode, it may be a common cause.

I also had another funny issue with the webView in iPad and the common solution seems to be that meta tag:

iPad Simulator WebView/Google Maps API Issue

Answer 2

It's also possible to deal with this by putting

[myWebView reload];

into the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation method

-- but if you're on a 3G connection this can be slow
