Orientation change help

[Ctak]

Hi, I'm pretty new to ipad/iphone development so bear with me.

I have a webView that I want to rotate and resize itself to take up the whole screen when I flip the ipad. I have the WebView's Size settings set appropriately in IB, however when I flip the Ipad the formatting gets thrown off. Right now I'm trying to resize the webView by this code:

- (BOOL)shoudlAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation{

if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
{
   webView1.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 1024, 768);
}

Return YES;
}

This causes the sizing of the webView to be even worse than it was originally. Any ideas as to why this is?

Thanks in advance!!

If the UIWebView is a subview of a View Controller, the view controller will support auto-rotation so you should be able to tell the UIWebView (and all subviews) to auto-rotate.

Make sure you have that option selected for the parent view in IB (checkbox in Attributes -> Autoresize subviews), also I think your method can be just:

- (BOOL)shoudlAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation{

if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
{ return YES; }
}

I really don't think you need to work with the frame. The problem if you start messing with the frame is you probably need to manually rotate as well, something like

 CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(90 / 180.0 * M_PI);
webView1.view.transform = transform;

The UIWebView is a subView of a scrollView which is the subView of the View Controller. Does that change anything? both the scrollView and the main ViewController have the autosize subViews option selected
