Looks good on desktop and designed to be pixil perfect and not extend on desktop. However, on iphone / ipad, I would like it to extend out to full width automatically. I don't want a mobile version, but simple for it to display full screen on iphone / ipad; but also have fixed pixil width desktop.
meta id='viewport' name="viewport" content="width=device-width"
I have tried multipe VIEWPORT tags, (scale etc, defined width) current am only using the below, and its not working in portrait. pixil width of app is 580
on iPhone 5S it scrolls in portrait, but fits screen in landscape..
Also, device has a roller at bottom that user moves. Unofrtunately, that movement at edge of screen triggers the ios swipe to open the next safari pages.. can I turn that feature off.

My webpage at www.rlhismgraphicsltd.net moves around on iPhone and iPad. I've made it responsive and it doesn't move around on desktop but does on iPhone and iPad. The container I made is 100% width and max-width so it's supposed to stay contained within the viewports parameters. The page wanders and scrolls horizontally on iPhone and iPad. I used overflow:hidden and it does not prevent the page from wandering left and right on iPhone and iPad. If anyone has an iPhone or iPad you can check it out. I've opened the page on an android phone and it does not wander. I've inspected the page on Chrome and it doesn't move around like it does when I look at it on my iPhone and iPad. I can not figure out what the problem is.
I thought maybe padding and margins may be an issue but I can't really tell what may work because it is fine when I inspect the page on chrome. Once I look at it on my iPhone and iPad i get horizontal scrolling and it moves diagonally and doesn't stay within the viewports parameters.
Why is the iPhone 5 displaying a mobile responsive site design when the phone's screen width (1136 x 640px landscape) can fit a website that is 1000px in width?
Shouldn't the iPhone 5 just be showing the desktop version as it has a large screen resolution that is big enough for the website?
Example site
When I resize a desktop browser to less than 1136px width the mobile responsive version doesn't show (the normal desktop design shows) which suggests that media queries are not in use at this size.
On retina screens, pixels are not points. So although you may think the resolution is higher; the actual landscape resolution of an iPhone 5 is 568x320.
Although distances are measured in px in web development, this does not translate into actual pixels on a retina device, where two physical pixels represent a point on the screen which is equivalent to a px in your CSS.
I'm currently developing a "mobile version" of a website that is primarily targeting more current iPhones (4+), it's my first time doing this. I'm testing on an iPhone 4S, my understanding is that the screen resolution of that device is 640x920 (when held in "portrait" orientation). I have everything on the site within a 600px wide container, although when I view it on the phone it seems to display by default in a "zoomed out" state, being that I can still see something like 1000-1200 pixels of content on the screen.
I assume that the iPhone displays sites in this way as many are not built to adapt to it's smaller resolution? Is there something I'm missing here? Is there something I set to tell the device to display the site at it's actual resolution?
You need to add a viewport meta tag in your html head.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
That tells the browser that the viewport (virtual width) should be set to the device width (physical width).
I'm building an app for iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry. The app only has to work in portrait mode (i.e. if you rotate the mobile device in landscape orientation, nothing happens). The app has to display differently depending on the resolution:
If the screen width is <= 240px: micro mode (mainly for BlackBerry)
Otherwise, if the screen width is <= 480px: small mode (for normal res mobile devices)
Otherwise, if the screen width is <= 767px: medium mode (for high res mobile devices like iPhone 4+)
Otherwise (screen width >= 768px): big mode (for tablets)
Everything works fine when trying to resize the window on my browser, all the elements resize and reposition correctly depending on the viewport size. The only problem I'm facing is with iPhone 4 (and probably the same thing would happen on iPhone 4S and iPhone 5). In fact, it's using the small mode instead of the medium mode despite its screen width is 640px. I specified the viewport meta in the following way:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" />
Does anybody know why this happens and how to fix it?
Thank you very much.
The iPhone is 320 CSS pixels wide, which is scaled from 640 device pixels.
You can filter by device-pixel-ratio:2 if you need to handle it differently to the non-retina version.
I am coding a website for iphone.
Some of the content (images and strings I have no control over) is too wide to fit in the 320px viewport. When I first encountered this, it caused the entire page to revert to web page view (scaled small text).
So, I put the wide images in a div with CSS style="width:320px; overflow:scroll;" This stopped the page scaling but I assumed I would be ale to scroll that div horizontally to see the rest of the images (like the app store does with screen snaps). However, the scrolling just doesn't work on the ipod. (It does work on Safari in default Mac mode but not in Safari as iPhone User Agent.)
Anyway, how can I get the sideways scrolling on the ipod?
