I have some problems when putting images in my iPhone app using PhoneGap.
According to this website the width of any iPhone screen is 320pts.
In my CSS I have the following code:
#someId {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0;
max-width:640px;
max-height: auto;
}
And in my HTML file the following snippet:
<img src="image.png" id="someId" alt="">
However, if I leave it like this, the image will always be bigger than the actual screen. I'm using the iPhone 6.0 Simulator.
Changing the value of max-width to 320pt doesn't change anything.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Because so many websites are designed assuming a typical desktop-sized browser window, Mobile Safari renders pages at the default width of 980 pixels. To override this default so that it only renders websites at the width of the screen, use the following <meta> element:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

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.

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
I'm trying to teach myself how to make a mobile version of a website, so I started off with something basic.
I have the following code
<body>
You are using...
<p class="mobile">
Mobile
</p>
<p class="desktop">
Desktop
</p>
</body>
with the CSS
#media screen and (max-width: 480px)
{
p.desktop {
display:none;
}
}
p.mobile {
display:none;
}
Basically, I want either "mobile" or "desktop" to display depending on which device you're using. When I navigate to the site on my desktop it says "desktop", so that seems fine.
But when I do so on my iPhone it still says desktop.
I have tried increasing the max-width to 640px which is the iPhone 4S' resolution. But I still have no luck. What am I doing wrong?
The default viewport on an iOS device is somewhere around 1000 pixels. You may notice when you pull up your test page that it doesn't look like it's a 320px wide - it's way zoomed out.
You need a viewport meta tag in your page head that sets the viewport width to that of the device:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
Once in place, you'll find your #media query works nicely (although you need a p.mobile { display: block; } bit to make the "mobile" text show up).
I am testing a HTML5 webpage in iphone. Also used CSS3. The page centered in all browsers. But problem is in iphone. It is left aligned here. I was trying -
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
But no luck. Please help me about this issue. The URL is:

Thanks.
Try setting the body min-width. I found that when the width was set, that it didn't center the body in the iOS browser.
Here is an example:
body {
background-color:#0e7242;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:15px;
min-width: 1000px;}
div.content {
margin:0 auto;
width:900px;
}
One thing to note is that if you have the meta viewport tag in there, the user will have to scroll out to see the entire webpage. You may prefer to have the entire width be loaded, and the user scroll in to see the text.
my site is a small, 540x500px box centered on a page. iPhone and Blackberry are both cutting off the top of the content. I have it absolutely centered on the page. I've been messing with the meta viewport settings in hopes have getting the page's margins dealt with on other devices and have had some luck, but when it comes down to it i cant find a solution that combines both of my lines of code.
My code is below.. I've explored media queries, setting the meta to device-width (cuts off margins) and a host of other options. honestly, I know I'm being picky, and I've spent a stupid amo unt of time on this.
I need help!
First, the HTML
<div id="container">content</div>
CSS
#container {
width:540px;
height:500px;
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin:-250px 0 0 -270px;
position:absolute;
}
Meta settings
<!--<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
cuts off top of content-->
<!--<meta name="viewport" content="width=580, height=540">
works for iPhone-->
<!--<meta name="viewport" content="width=540, height=500">
works for iPad-->
Apple recommends that any page below 980px be declared in width in your viewport settings.
http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/appleapplications/reference/SafariHTMLRef/Articles/MetaTags.html
Used a media query to adjust my negative margins for mobile use. 1024px is max resolution on an iPad.. which covers most tablets.
HTML heading
<meta name="viewport" content="width=500">
CSS heading
#media only screen
and (max-device-width:1024px) {
#container {
width:500px;
height:500px;
top:0;
left:0;
margin:0 auto;
position:static;
}
}
It looks like your negative top margin is cutting off the content.
I've found that mobile content works best when positioned in a linear, top down fashion.
If that is the only div on the page, use a mobile stylesheet to strip out the positioning, keeping only the width, height, and some smaller, simpler margins.
Then use something like <meta name="viewport" content="width=580">, setting only the width.
This has worked for me in the past.
I'm trying set up my mobile webpages for iphone but it fails to show the correct width.
The issue is..
In most of my page's posts they have pictures which have width about 480px to 500px
so if I setup up meta as follows:
1 = this will show all part of pictures in the post but the screen of page larger than iphone screen..
name="viewport"
content="width=480px; initial-scale=1;
maximum-scale=1; user-scalable=1;"
2 = this will show the pages correct with inside iphone screen .. but the right part of images will hidden to outside of screen width in stand mode.
name="viewport"
content="width=device-width;
initial-scale=1; maximum-scale=1;
user-scalable=1;"
Please help to set to show full images in iphone and the webpage zoom correct width of screen.

You might want to try something like this:
lets say your html looks like this:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<img src="small-image.jpg" />
</div>
</body>
you can do this with your css:
/* you can modify this as you see fit */
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
div#wrapper {
max-width: 100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
}
Note: This will only work if you set a width on your wrapping element, like we're doing there. max-width is also fine for that. If you don't the element probably will stretch out with the image.
This will ensure that big images never become bigger than the element that wraps it, but smaller images will not be modified.
