I'm working on making my buttons adaptive to screen orientation changes on mobile devices. My goal is to ensure that the website remains user-friendly regardless of how it's being accessed. I know how to adjust button size using CSS in scripts, but I have a couple of uncertainties:
- How do I structure the HTML for the buttons so that they can be easily manipulated with JavaScript when the orientation or aspect ratio changes? I also need guidance on the JavaScript manipulations.
- What scripting should I use to trigger the button sizing and layout adjustments every time the aspect ratio or screen orientation changes (e.g., switching from vertical to horizontal view)?
My current HTML layout code looks like this:
<div class="button_container">
<div id="toprow" class="buttons">
<button id="btn1" class="topbuttons">Button1</button>
<button id="btn2" class="topbuttons">Button2</button>
</div>
<div id="midrow" class="buttons">
<button id="btn3">Button3</button>
</div>
<div id="bottomrow" class="buttons">
<button id="btn4" class="bottombuttons">Button4</button>
<button id="btn5" class="bottombuttons">Button5</button>
<button id="btn6" class="bottombuttons">Button6</button>
</div>
</div>

I would greatly appreciate any assistance as I am new to web development.
