UIWebView scalesPageToFit is overriding the font size specified - iphone

Im rendering normal text along with MathML content in a UIWebview, scalesPageToFit property enabled and and my syntax of displaying data is
startHtml and endHtml is as below,
startHTML=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"<html><Head><Meta Content-Type=\"text/mathml\"/>\
<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"%#?config=MML_HTMLorMML-full\"></script>\
</head>\
<body style=\'padding:25px 15px 15px 25px\'>\
<font face='Calibri' size='28'>",scriptFilePath];
endHtml=#"</font></body></html>";
inside startHtml string i'm mentioning font style and its weight but whatever the actual font size im mentioning here is not getting reflected since webviews scalesPageToFit is overriding it, if i disable scalesPageToFit property alignment and MathMl rendering is getting messed up.
How to maintain custom font size with scalesPageToFit property enabled?

Don't use pixel values for your font size. I think percent would probably be best.

Rich text editor (tinymce) images - how to disable auto height and width?

We're using Umbraco v7.2.1 to serve what is supposed to be responsive content.
When you add an image from the media library to the tinymce editor, this is the html that is inserted by tinymce:
<img style="width: 500px; height:500px;"
src="/media/1007/jobs-block.jpg?width=500&height=500" alt="undefined" rel="1097" />
I really don't want ANY w x h in the tag or image src.
I have found a couple of posts regarding the tinyMce.config file and the validElements node - i removed the height and width things from the img thing in there but that had no effect.
If you open the Data Type for the Richtext editor in question there is a setting called "Maximum size for inserted images". This is by default set to 500 pixels.
If you set it to 0 it will disable any resizing.
I think you can have your cake and eat it too, no need to restrict editor re-sizing.
Adding the following properties to your img elements: max-width: 100%; height: auto !important; will allow content editors to re-size their images while also making them responsive.
I processed the output. I removed the height and wrap images by a div by javascript and I can fully customize it via css

Issue stopping iPhone resizing HTML e-mails

I'm having an issue trying to prevent the iPhone from resizing HTML e-mails to fit the screen. It seems that code below when put into the section has no effect.
My goal is just to stop the font re-sizing. I've tried other variations using -webkit-text-size-adjust:none; inline and in other way, all without success.
Would grealty appreciate any advice or an alternative solution.
#media screen and
(max-device-width: 480px){
/*fixes too big font in mobile Safari*/
html, body, form, fieldset, p, div, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
-webkit-text-size-adjust:none; } } </style>
The iPhone seems to be a pain when it comes to resizing things, especially when you switch the orientation of the phone. Have you tried adding the meta tag with viewport settings in it?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, user-scalable=no"/>
It does prevent them from zooming, but I haven't found any better way to stop the iPhone from zooming on orientation change. I'm not sure if this will help in this situation, but just a suggestion to try out.
I been stuck w/ this problem and there's no available solution on the net that works.
Not until I realized what's causing this.
CAUSE:
This problem occurs if you have an image w/in the email. When the image auto-scale, the entire email/page will auto-fit in the window.
SOLUTION:
Add inline style for the image for min-width (300px so it doesn't take the entire 320px iphone width), max-width (your desired max with), and width of 100%.
i.e.
image src="image.jpg" style="width: 100%; min-width: 300px; max-width: 500px;"
Worked for me, ...hoping this can help you too! ;-)
What you are doing is correct but the problem is that rather than using -webkit-text-size-adjust:none; inside a style tag, you should use it in the below manner:
<body style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">
This means you should use this as an inline css property.
To get rid of that problem you have to put the following in your CSS body tag:
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
This way Safari keeps the text to 100% of intended size. In case you set the value to none, the users won't be able to increase the font and this is an undesired behavior.
This CSS property is supported and should work.
Check the official Safari supported CSS reference:
https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariCSSRef/Articles/StandardCSSProperties.html
Furthermore please note that the media type screen is supported in:
Safari 4.0 and later.
iOS 1.0 and later.
I hope this helps.
BR,
Tolis
A retina iPhone has a 640px width, your media query stops at 480px.
Anyway, you can get rid of the media query altogether. The only webkit based mail client that will use this property (-webkit-text-size-adjust:none) is iPhone's and iPad's Mail app.
Also the Mail app may also be the only client supporting CSS3

iframe content is displaying outside the iframe on iOS

Here is a fiddle (jsfiddle.net/salman/RQBra/show/) that demonstrates the problem I am facing. The iframes appear as expected in all browsers (including Safari 5 for Windows). But when I viewed the page on two iOS devices (iPad and iPhone) the content of iframe overflowed and covered the entire area on the right hand side of the iframe. Here is a screenshot of a page that uses similar iframes:
How can I workaround this issue?
You can fix it in a div, but on the iPhone it won't be scrollable without some javascript. I've made a fiddle that shows how you can fix the size of the iframe.
http://jsfiddle.net/RQBra/29/
basically, you wrap your iframe in a wrapper and give it some css:
#wrapper {
position:relative;
z-index:1;
width:400px;
height:400px;
overflow:scroll;
}
​
A workaround for your specific case is to replace the <iframe> by an <embed> element.
<embed src="..." type="text/html" width="400" height="400"></embed>
It will have the desired effect on Safari Mobile and clip the content to the specified width and height dimensions instead of auto-sizing it. Hoewever, embed is not specifically designed for HTML content and unwanted effects may result when dealing with scrolling, contentWindow and different environments (it is not necessarily rendered natively), so test the case before using it in production.
W3C:
The element represents an integration point for an external
(typically non-HTML) application or interactive content.
Hmm, try to wrap the iframes in divs, but not constraining the iframe's width and height by themselves.
I am guessing inside Iframe there is an HTML file, so in HTML wrap the content in wrapper div
#wrapper {
position: relative;
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
it's size will be relative to html body, than the viewportSizes may be as you wish
the second row is handling flickering on Iframe click, happens in ios'...

uiwebview wrap problem with long words

i have a webview in my application and it works fine. it fits horizontolly (not scrolls) and scrolls vertically. but any word which is longer than 320 pixel makes it scrolls horizantally and makes the font larger. i don't would like horizontal scroll. i would like it to be continued in new line. how can i do?
thanks.
The problem you have is actually not related to the UIWebView in itself. What the web view does is just display any html you provide. This means that you have to format the html to do as you want. One way to accomplish that is to use a div as follows.
<div style="width: 320px; word-wrap: break-word">
text with looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooongword goes here
</div>
Caveat: I don't know very much about html and css so there might be better ways of accomplishing this.

iPhone CSS - Viewport width not working for me

Anyone know why I still have some extra white space to the right of my web site when using an iPhone?:
(please check on an iPhone - this will not show with Firefox/UA Switcher)
I've adjusted viewport meta to "device-width" and my body's width is 100%.
I've Firebugged everywhere and just can't figure this one out.
You must set the width with "device-width" like this :
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width;" />
Try to wrap all your page content in DIV with just overflow:hidden style (no more styles necessary).
