This is only true on devices whose "main orientation" is portrait
mode. At least on some devices which have the normal mode of operation
being in landscape mode, the above returns flipped values.

Why not use the existing definitions in the orientation change event?
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/HandlingEvents/HandlingEvents.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006511-SW16
simple "landscape" and "portrait" can always be deducted from the values -
but you have more precise info. This is also possible to map to/from
accelerometer data if needed.
(speaking as a web demos/apps/games developer).
code quote:
switch(window.orientation)
{
case 0:
displayStr += "Portrait";
break;
case -90:
displayStr += "Landscape (right, screen turned
clockwise)";
break;
case 90:
displayStr += "Landscape (left, screen turned
counterclockwise)";
break;
case 180:
displayStr += "Portrait (upside-down portrait)";
break;
}

[screen-orient] Updated editor draft
Hi, I've just pushed a new editor draft [1] with some cosmetic/editorial changes and a new feature: lockOrientation() can now be called with a sequence to lock the screen to different orientations (for example, "portrait-primary" and "landscape-primary"). Any feedback is welcome! Note that I will update the WD in about a week if I do not hear anything in the meantime. [1] http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/screen-orientation/raw-file/tip/Overview.html Thanks, -- Mounir
