Is it possible to prevent the "flipping" in an iPhone website via JavaScript/jQuery?

I just don't want the site change orientation when iPhone change orientation.

Is it possible?

See this answer for how to use CSS/JS to rotate the rendered display on orientation change. The idea is to capture the orientation event, and then force the display back to portrait/landscape.

How do I lock the orientation to portrait mode in a iPhone Web Application?

You can't prevent this via JavaScript, it's browser controlled...and really you'd be breaking the user's expectations of behavior if you could do this, which is hardly ever a good thing.

Also if you could, which orientation would the user be in? When they arrived on your site the phone could have been in either orientation.
