What’s new (CS5.5)

devices that change page orientation based on how the device is held, use the landscape and portrait options during
preview. For more information, see
“Designing for multiple screens and devices” on page 454.
Media query support
Use media queries to customize the appearance of your site for different screen resolutions. For more information, see
“Creating media queries (CS5.5 and later)” on page 454.
