    Default eBid pages not responding to device rotation

    On many eBid pages if a handheld device is rotated the page does not display correctly unless the page is manually refreshed. That's OK(ish) if you know you have to do that but is still a bit of a pain.

    Could the orientation change event be monitored and the page automatically refreshed?

    This previous thread also touched on this issue and the second example was not resolved: https://www.ebid.net/forums/showthre...=1#post1692126

    Default Re: eBid pages not responding to device rotation

    On smaller screens the side menu will not be shown due to real estate restriction, it is moved above the main area and it is hidden or shown using a button. If your device screen resolution switches between these crucial trigger points then currently :

    LARGE -> SMALL will place the side menu in an open state to show users where it can be found in it's new home above the main area and can be hidden using the button.

    SMALL -> LARGE the side menu does not re-appear but will once a new page is loaded at the bigger resolution. We will look to see if we can automatically show the menu when rotation happens.

    Thanks for taking another look at the issue.

    If you can pick up on the orientation change event then there are a good few eBid pages that would benefit from an automatic refresh on a change of device orientation. Maybe safer applied to all.
