I have a site that is 2048px wide. Is there a way to automatically have the iPad fit the entire site width on the screen when the site is loaded? I've tried experimenting with meta viewport in a few different ways:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width maximum-scale=1.0">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width initial-scale=1.0">
This hasn't worked though. The site is still too wide and spills off screen on the iPad.
You can pass a fixed size to the content width like so:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=2048" />
May need some tweaking to allow for padding either side, but should load the site at that size and allow users to zoom in.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
That's what I use for my website.
The correct way to fix this problem are by using percentages rather than fixed widths. But if you "cannot" change that, you can force your viewport to scale down by using 0.x in initial-scale like:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=0.625, user-scalable=yes" />
Try setting min-width: 2048px; to the html and body tags in css. That's fixed some weirdness on iPads for me before, but not sure if it will apply to this one.
I was working on a site with the same problem recently, it wouldn't stay zoomed out between page clicks for a fixed 960px width site. Try:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=-100%" />
So far so good, passed on my Ipad Air.
This works fine:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

When change orientation of iOS device the contents of Webview don't always adjust to new orientation. It cuts off to what seems to be width of the space that it occupied in previous orientation. Screenshot below
On orientation change I call orientationchange event
evalJavascript("var e= document.createEvent('Events');" +
"e.initEvent('orientationchange',true, false); document.dispatchEvent(e)");
In HTML I have viewport meta tag
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=5.0, user-scalable=1" />
What's interesting is that this does not happen to other pages like New York Times home page, which I load locally. Any ideas what could be the issue?
Put this HTML code into your website header:
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, width=device- width, height=device-height">
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
This should ensure that your website is app/mobile accessible.
I need to set the viewport at 490px, non-scalable
<meta name="viewport" content="width=490, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
With the iphone in portrait mode, pages are loading slightly zoomed. A double-tap zooms them back out to the appropriate 490px. Why is this happening?
You should use something like this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=490, target-densitydpi=device-dpi, user-scalable=1">
I am having a problem finding the right viewport meta tag to use for a responsive site while restricting user scaling.
Currently I am using:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">
I am getting some really weird issues on my iPad2. Upon orientation change, the layout for the previous orientation, including elements that should be hidden by media queries, is taken and posted over-top of the correct layout.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
just this and nothing else, remove the rest
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1,user-scalable=no">
I am creating a website. The width of my page is too wide, that means I have to scroll to the side. On the page there is no element with fixed width, so why do I still have to scroll sidewards? I thought the following meta tag would handle this issue.
Markup:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
I'm working with the iOS simulator, it rotates fine, but unlike android the webview doesn't seem to re-size automatically. The orientationchanged event fires but I'm not sure how to handle refreshing the page. I can't do a whole page refresh, although it does solve the problem, since I'm using the multi-page JQmobile template. Any thoughts on other ways to re-size? I've tried $.mobile.trigger('pagecreate'); and pageshow.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0 target-densityDpi=device-dpi" />
have you kept this
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no;" />
in <head> of the index.html in IOS it will automatically resize when device rotated.
