Why isn't my mobile website auto-resizing for mobile devices? - jquery-mobile

I've upgraded from jQuery Mobile a3 to b1, (Mainly because a3 didn't work with WP7 devices) and now it's not scaling correctly on any of my devices (iPhone 4, Droid X, HTC Surround - WP7). Any idea's as to what's causing this? I'm not using any custom css or anything else special... (I was previously, but I've since removed it all in attempt to find out what was causing the issue)
It does re-size with chrome when I re-size the window. I've tried clearing the cache/cookies/history/everything on the phones.

Your not setting the viewpoint meta tag
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0b1/ (right click to view source)

<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
This is what I use :-)

Webview randomly does not readjust after orientation change on iOS

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.

Why isn't my responsive website acting responsive on the iphone?

I have a responsive webpage that changes as the screen resolution changes, but for some reason, it loads the non-responsive version whenever I load the page on my iPhone:
http://rayku.com/register
The home page is fully responsive on the iPhone (http://rayku.com/home), but I'm not sure why the registration page isn't. Do you have any ideas?
I don't have an iPhone, so I can't test this, but it looks like you're missing a meta tag from your <head> tag. Try adding this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Hope this works.
You're missing the viewport meta tag (which is correctly present on the home page).
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Resize site width to fit within width of iPad screen

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">

phonegap iOS rotation

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.

Preventing zoom with trigger.io forge

Is there any way to prevent the application from zooming? My app has this annoying habit of zooming all way in when you focus on a text input (only on Android, using an HTC amaze).
Sure:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0"/>
