I want to add an extra div if the ipad is in landscape mode. Is there some sort of if statement that could find this out?
Thanks

<script src="js/jquery-1.5.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.addEventListener("resize", function() {
// Get screen size (inner/outerWidth, inner/outerHeight)
var height = $(window).height();
var width = $(window).width();
if(width>height) {
// Landscape
$("#mode").text("LANDSCAPE");
} else {
// Portrait
$("#mode").text("PORTRAIT");
}
}, false);
</script>

<body onorientationchange="updateOrientation();">
<div id="mode">LANDSCAPE</div>
</body>
</html>
you can try the solution, compatible with all browser.
Following is orientationchange
compatibility pic:
therefore, I author a orientaionchange
polyfill, it is a based on @media attribute to fix orientationchange utility library——orientationchange-fix
window.addEventListener('orientationchange', function(){
if(window.neworientation.current === 'portrait|landscape'){
// do something……
} else {
// do something……
}
}, false);
and then, you can retrieve current state of orientation by window.neworientation.current
and initial state of orientation by window.neworientation.init
.
jQTouch checks it like so:
orientation = Math.abs(window.orientation) == 90 ? 'landscape' : 'portrait';

You can also listen to onorientationchange events
See previous answer: Detect rotation of Android phone in the browser with JavaScript
You could do a simple check for the width of the document.
$(window).width();
You could set it to a variable, and then check the variable against the native resolution of the iPad: 768px x 1024px in portrait.
