755261 - guardian.co.uk - landscape orientation maintains portrait page width

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Dan Horner]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0a1
Build ID: 20120514030523

Steps to reproduce:

Nexus S with ICS.

Browsed to guardian.co.uk, opened article, then rotated phone to landscape.



Actual results:

Content rotated, however page kept the width of a portrait, not a landscape (i.e. full page width was not used).

Could not replicate this fault with Safari on iPhone.


Expected results:

Page should have stretched to fill the full width of the page.

This is tech evangelism, when I set the User Agent to Fennec on Firefox desktop, I get to see the same thing.
In http://gnm.cdn.mobileiq.mobi/ms/css/jw7nwsp
there is the width: 320px css rule on the div class=frame-PC that is causing this.

I suppose they might listen for orientationchange events to update the DOM and adapt to landscape? If they use something we arguably should support, it's not Tech evangelism. Anyway, seems to work fine now.
