Locking orientation for a Chrome app

[Kevin MacDonald]

I am looking for a way to lock the orientation of a Chrome app. I am finding this desirable when our app is run a Windows tablet (such as an HP Elite Pad). Our app is only designed to be run in landscape and does not render properly when oriented in portrait. As far as I can tell the windows.screen.lockOrientation() API is not supported by Chrome. 

Any ideas?

Thanks

You mean window.screen.orientation.lock("landscape")? It is supported, though I am not sure it is supported in all of the devices and operating systems. The intent to ship thread gave the impression that it is in development for Windows (and already supported for Android) and that was a year ago. I would be a bit surprised if it ended up not being supported for Windows, but stuff happens.

Looks like the support for Windows 8.1 is not implemented yet. :(
