iphone initial portrait orientation load is giving element width of landscape view

I have a div set to width: 100%. When I load it initially in the portrait view of the iphone the element width is picking up at 480px.
The odd thing about this is that when I console log the width at load I am getting 320px. Also, if I manually change the orientation to landscape and then back to portrait then the element is getting the correct sizing.
I have tried a handful of suggestions to the meta viewport tag, but nothing seems to be working. Here is the current tag info:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1, minimal-ui">
Also, when I change the zoom after initial load, then the element gets the correct sizing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the right size at initial load?
I was going to delete this post, but since someone upvoted it I figured I would provide the answer. The issue was that this element had position: fixed. I simply added position: absolute for the media query on mobile and it is now functioning properly. :)

meta tag is not working for ipad to zoom out full width of website

I am working on a website: www.sc1.online-folio.com
for mobile and tablet devices I want to show this site 100 zoomed out (or maybe a little more) so user can see full site at first glance and zoom in the area he wants to view.
I am using this meta tag to zoom out
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1100" initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0" />
I set the width 1100 so the website look a little zoomed out for better viewing of slider area. This is all working fine on android devices but on ipad and iphone the site is zoomed like this: http://www.responsimulator.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsc1.online-folio.com%2F and no changes in meta properties are working.
So guys can you tell me what exactly I do to control the zooming on iphone and ipad devices.
You have written the attribute incorrectly, replace the quote after width with a comma.
So that:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1100" initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0" />
Becomes:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1100, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0" />
But to answer your question, viewport is the thing!

Full Screen mode in iOS7 Safari

I am developing a mobile web site using Sencha Touch. In iOS7 Safari I cannot make the top address bar & the toolbar below go away. Sencha used to handle this upto iOS6 but some recent changes in iOS7 is causing this issue.
http://java.dzone.com/articles/safari-ios-7-and-html5
I read the above link & it seems this is also an issue for HTML5 Games & a few other apps.
The old window.scrollTo() which worked for iOS6 no longer works.
Add minimal-ui in your meta tag viewport, this will hide he address bar and browser controls in safari iOS7:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, minimal-ui">
More info on iOS7 and fullscreen mode for mobile websites: http://blog.initlabs.com/post/81716286465/how-to-display-websites-in-fullscreen-mode-in-ios7
With iOS 7 I don't think you really have a choice. Obviously Apple doesn't want developers doing this anymore, and even if someone finds another workaround it probably won't stick around for that long.
Honestly, I think getting fullscreen functionality is a fair trade off for users to install the app to their home screen. Obviously there are certain cases where this isn't true, but I guess I find it understandable to some degree. You should still be able to add the following meta tag and it will be fullscreen once added to home screen:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
There are a few nice libraries out there that add an "add to homescreen" prompt that you can set up to be rather unobtrusive with custom messages. In this case, might be best to embrace the change...

Bad html5 application view size on iphone

I just got an html5 app with code that needs to be deployed to an iphone but the sizing seems to be totally messed up (it's like 4 times of the entire screen). As I have very little experience with html5 I'd like to ask, is there something else that needs to be set for the page to correctly fit onto a screen besides adding the
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0"/>
line in the index.html file?

mobile safari: device rotation causes bad scaling of website

i have a mobile website for iphone and ipad where i disable user zooming with
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
this works fine as long as the site is in landscape mode. the width of the website is exactly the width of the screen.
then if i rotate the device into portrait mode it gets scaled down so that it fits the new (shorter) width. this is also ok.
but then if i rotate it back to landscape mode it is suddenly scaled to about 125% that means horizontal scrolling is now possible and zooming is not possible since initially disabled.
how can i make it back at 100% zoom when rotated back to landscape?
thanks!
try experimenting with maximum-scale and minimum-scale like so
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0" />
and see if you can achieve what you are looking for..
Disabling zoom is a bad idea. It's not a perfect solution, but targeting webkit's scaling of font size on orientation change can help minimize the problem. You would leave the head of the document with:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Then you would address the font-size scaling in your CSS like this:
body {
font-size: 1.5rem;
line-height: 2.3rem;
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
}
/* This prevents mobile Safari from freely adjusting font-size */**
Using the maximum-scale and minimum-scaleto stop zooming don't really work because then you take away the user's ability to zoom. That's really a bad idea because it makes your users with bad eyes angry that your website doesn't zoom, while other websites do...
I tried timeouts and all kinds of fancy javascript, then I found this:
https://github.com/scottjehl/iOS-Orientationchange-Fix
via this related question: How do I reset the scale/zoom of a web app on an orientation change on the iPhone?
On that post, Andrew Ashbacher posted a link to the code written by Scott Jehl:
/*! A fix for the iOS orientationchange zoom bug. Script by #scottjehl, rebound by #wilto.MIT License.*/(function(m){if(!(/iPhone|iPad|iPod/.test(navigator.platform)&&navigator.userAgent.indexOf("AppleWebKit")>-1)){return}var l=m.document;if(!l.querySelector){return}var n=l.querySelector("meta[name=viewport]"),a=n&&n.getAttribute("content"),k=a+",maximum-scale=1",d=a+",maximum-scale=10",g=true,j,i,h,c;if(!n){return}function f(){n.setAttribute("content",d);g=true}function b(){n.setAttribute("content",k);g=false}function e(o){c=o.accelerationIncludingGravity;j=Math.abs(c.x);i=Math.abs(c.y);h=Math.abs(c.z);if(!m.orientation&&(j>7||((h>6&&i<8||h<8&&i>6)&&j>5))){if(g){b()}}else{if(!g){f()}}}m.addEventListener("orientationchange",f,false);m.addEventListener("devicemotion",e,false)})(this);
That is a solution wrapped nicely in an IIFE so you don't have to worry about name-space issues.
Just drop it in to your script (not into document.ready() if you're using jQuery) and viola!
All it does is disable zoom on devicemotion events that indicate that orientationchange is imminent. It's the best solution I've seen because it actually works and doesn't disable zoom.
EDIT: this approach is not always reliable, especially when you are holding the ipad at an angle. also, i don't think this event is available to gen 1 ipads
