       -webkit-transform-origin: 230px 230px;
       }
    }

JS Orientation Detection

switch(window.orientation){
   case 0:
       //handle portrait actions
       //document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].className = 'portrait';
       break;
  case -90:
  case 90:
       // handle landscape actions
       //document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].className = 'landscape';
       break;
} //end switch
