[iPhone] Autorotation and Problem Resizing UIWebView

Question

I'm loading a UIViewController with a UIWebView embedded in it. However, the UIWebView doesn't always resize correctly. Here are the steps I follow:
a) I view the UIWebView in portrait mode...
b) I autorotate to landscape mode...
c) I load a new HTML string using [webView loadHTMLString:self.htmlText baseURL:nsurl];
webView is an instance of UIWebView.
nsurl points to a local HTML file.
d) I rotate back to portrait mode... this is where the text extends beyond the right border of the screen. It appears that the UIWebView keeps the horizontal landscape dimensions after I rotate back to portrait mode.
The strange thing is that this only happens after I call [webView loadHTMLString:self.htmlText baseURL:nsurl];
I'm running the latest OS and the programming using the newest SDK.
Any thoughts?

Answer 1

The solution to my other UIWebView/Autorotation problem also solved this. I added the viewport meta tag to each HTML page. I dynamically changed this tag using some javascript every time the device rotated and explicitly set the width to 320 and height to 480, or vice versa. If you use this solution, make sure you include spaces before and after the "=" in the meta tag. See the examples on the following page: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariHTMLR ef/Articles/HTMLExtensions.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP40002066-DontLinkElementID13
