CSS with iPad

Below is a basic CSS iPad layout by Mattew James Taylor. iPad layoutA detailed explanation and the code can be found at his website.
Basically,
  • Landscape: Width of 1024 pixels wide.
  • Portrait: Width of 768 pixels wide.

@media only screen and (orientation:portrait) {
/* portrait mode */
..CSS code here
}
@media only screen and (orientation:landscape) {
/* landscape mode */
..CSS code here
}
If the code is written outside of the above code, it displays in both portrait and landscape mode. Thus, by using display:none; , we can actually mask out certain elements and do the appropriate changes for the respective orientations.
