I have an email that includes a long table and doesn't show well(gets jammed) in iOS mail because the width of the table is huge. I don't know how to enable horizontal scrolling for iOS mail application so the html emails will not wrap around.
Thanks
Raz
It's not a question of enabling horizontal scrolling. As long as your tables have defined widths you should be fine- the scroll bars will be there.
You could also define your viewport so zooming is disabled:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1"/>
Maybe I'm not understanding your issue. Could you post a screengrab?

So I built a web app with Ruby on Rails, and the styling is done with Bootstrap. Unfortunately, front end design is not my strong suite.
The app is hosted here and the source code is on GitHub
I was able to position two text input boxes and an bout button in the middle of the main page. This looks great on a desktop, but on a mobile phone it looks tiny.
Is it possible, using Bootstrap or Rails, (I would prefer to do it client side if possible) to make these text boxes and buttons re-size to fit a mobile phone screen?
You're missing the viewport meta-tag in your <head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
Check out the basic template in the Bootstrap documentation: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#template

Use proper meta tags in your header. Try this.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
I'm trying to recompile an app for iOS 7, since nothing of the old one works so far.
One of the many problems is that I'm using some inputs inside UIWebViews. Text inputs, pickers etc.
Now, when the iOS 7 shining white keyboard appears, all the bottom fixed elements in the webpage (such as, confirm buttons) are scrolled upward, as if the 'top' of the virtual keyboard is the new bottom of my UIWebView. This is a substantially different behavior from iOS6.x
Is there any magic trick to make the virtual keyboard behavior work like it used to, without injecting JS/CSS to the webView?
This fixed the problem for my cordova app. I'm not sure if it applies to you but just in case.
Check your html meta tags for something like this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0">
Replace it with this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, target-densityDpi=device-dpi" />
In our case this would fix itself as soon as user scrolls. So this is the fix we've been using to simulate a scroll on blur on any input or textarea:
$(document).on('blur', 'input, textarea', function () {
setTimeout(function () {
window.scrollTo(document.body.scrollLeft, document.body.scrollTop);
}, 0);
});
I ran across exactly the same problem & gave up after two days of experimenting. It seems that:
a) all bottom-fixed elements go upwards so that their bottom offset is relative to the top edge of the keyboard
c) all top-fixed elements stay in their original position (do not move upwards as they used to) - note that top-absolute elements work ok.
The only solution I found was to have a custom iPad stylesheet that replaces all fixed elements with absolute elements, sets the css bottom property to auto and uses top instead
Opposum, your solution worked for me but only when the scale was set to 1.0. If I set it to 0.9 then it would be like it was before your suggested fix. I set initial-scale, maximum-scale, and minimum-scale to 0.9 and the bouncing effect of the fixed objects when the keyboard appeared was still happening.
In Bootstrap 3, there seems to have been an issue with the fluid grid causing a horizontal scrollbar to appear on small devices. My question is different...
I'm not getting any scrollbar, unless I click a text input. On an iPhone, there is an automatic zoom on the current field. This is ok (I guess), but after leaving the field, the zoom is not removed, so the content is clipped and there's an ugly horizontal scrollbar.
Is there a way to prevent the zoom? Or maybe tell mobile safari to set the zoom back to what it was?
First: you can create fluid-responsive tables. But you do not need it. If you don't give the <table> the class="responsive" the horizontal scroolbar doesn´t appear.
If you want to disable the zoom on small devices use this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
Hope, it helps :)
Here is a page I am working on for a class. Don't worry that it's all divs - the exercise allows that as it was to experiment with web fonts.
My problem is that the page renders fine in IE, Firefox, Safari, but on the iPad it doesn't center and the scale is off. If you look at the top left header "Top of the Napkin", it actually breaks into 2 lines on the iPad. There is no left margin yet quite a bit of right margin.
thanks for any help -
The above answer did not work for me on the iPad. Here is what did work.
In the body tag I added the minimum width of what I would want in a browser.
body { min-width:1080px; }
This worked without adding
<meta name="viewport" width=device-width />
but I left it in the header for good measure.
I checked the page on my iPad (latest IOS v5.1) and I can see the text "Top of the Napkin" on one line, though you are right about the entire page not getting center aligned..
For that, I would suggest you to do 2 things;
A. Set the viewport width as below (add this line inside your head element);
<meta name="viewport" width=device-width />
The above line would set your viewport width to device-width (i.e. 768px on the iPad). You can even hard code the value as
<meta name="viewport" width=900 />
Though this is not the best approach.
B. The other thing you can try is giving the following style to your body element
margin:0 auto
This would effectively center align your entire page.

You probably need a viewport meta tag. Check the link for info on what this does and which to choose. http://www.allenpike.com/2010/choosing-a-viewport-for-ipad-sites/
I had the same problem.
for my part, the page was broken because of div elements bigger than their container.
i fixed it by playing with overflow-x property.
You may try putting overflow-x:hidden; on your containers.
I had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=.9" />
