On load of a responsive page on an iphone or ipad, maybe one out of every five times the page will scroll most of the way down and then stop. It's as if the page content is ending. If I refresh the page or reorient the device, this then allows me to scroll the rest of the way.
My viewport tag is:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,minimum-scale=1.0,initial-scale=1.0">
I've gotten this on an ipad2, iphone 4 and 4s both on ios6.
Has anyone seen anything like this?

I have a CSS layout for a web-based game that was designed to fit the iPad screen only (it's running inside an iPad app). Now I want to port that same game to the iPhone. If I simply run the app using the iPhone 5 simulator, it will just show me a 320x568 section of the screen.
I was wondering if there was a way to (automatically?) shrink down every component on the page to be smaller and fit the iPhone 5's screen. There's lots of images that were designed with the iPad's resolution in mind, so they're bigger than they should be on the iPhone. Can these be resized by the CSS depending on the screen size or would I need to resize them all manually?
In the index.html file I already have included:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
It won't size automatically to the iPhone's screen however. There's also a lot of hardcoded pixel values. Can I simply change those to a percentage that's relative to the screen?
For the record, I didn't write this code, and am not THAT good at CSS. Thank you for your help.

I have a painful issue CSS issue which appears to be caused by the Disqus CSS.
The Disqus CSS seems to cause my page's main content text to randomly change sizes in parts. Clicking refresh will randomly make some text bigger, some smaller and some bold. It only seems to occur in Safari on the iPhone (real and simulator) and is fine in Firefox, IE, Android and iPad Safari. Turning off Disqus comments fixes the issue. I have tried changing Disqus themes and turning mobile view on and off.
Below you can see the same page being rendered differently every time I click refresh (live site-it should look like this)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You could try applying the -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; and targeting the Disqus code? If I remember Disqus doesn't use iframes, so it should work if the hierarchy you use is stronger than theirs.

Hope that helps :)
Edit: I just had a thought while writing that comment below. You may be able to sort this by setting the viewport width, either explicitly or to device width.
For example, this will make the viewport on an iphone be 320px wide in portrait and 460px wide in landscape (I think that's right?).
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
From the screenshots I think that is actually too small though, so something like this may be better.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=800, initial-scale=1">
This is actually why the text size changes in the first place. The iPhone scales that 800px to fit both portrait and landscape. In portrait though that could make the font far too small so it is increased.

I'm using jqTouch inside a UIWebView of my native iPhone application and many of the pages have very weird "tap-jump" issues.
About 75% of the time that I access a page if I scroll down a bit, and just tap anywhere on the screen, it jumps to the top of the page. If I open that same page in the iPhone Safari browser, it works great every time and no "tap-jump" issue. So it appears to be an issue ONLY within the UIWebView.
I've been spending hours and hours trying different things to figure out why this is happening and I welcome any ideas.
Thanks,
John
It is expected behavior for jQTouch to scrollTo(0,0) on slide left/right navigation. Of course, this will only create a noticeable effect if you tap a link while the page is scrolled (i.e., if the page isn't scrolled, it can't jump).
I don't know why you'd see a difference between UIWebView and Mobile Safari, unless perhaps the UIWebView is shorter than Mobile Safari, which could create the possibility of scrolling in the UIWebView that doesn't exist in Mobile Safari.
My suggestions are:
Make sure you have the latest version of jQTouch (https://github.com/senchalabs/jQTouch)
Make sure you are doing exactly the same testing in UIWebView as you are in Mobile Safari (i.e., if you scroll down prior to tapping in one, do the same in the other).

is it possible to add an iframe to an iphone web page. I tried adding a standard iframe with height and width 100% however when i use them to display them in the simulator from the local files i cant scroll even after setting scrolling to auto. IS this a limitation of the simulator or am i making a mistake somewhere. im using this code
<iframe src ="http://moodle.acs.gr" width="100%" height="90%" scrolling="auto">
iframes.
I also have problems with an iPhone and iframes, and this is on a normal iPhone, not a similator. I don't think you can scroll within iframes at all on the iphone browser. You'll have to do things with the <meta name="viewport" or iframe width/height to get it to work
How do I go about making an image or section of the page full screen on the iPhone?
I have an image that is 480 x 320 and I want to pull that up full screen on the iPhone but it has to be within a webpage so that I can make the image a link back to the previous page.
Currently if I drop the image on a blank page and I open it up on the iPhone it just shows up in the top left corner.
Hopefully I'm not in breach of the NDA here, but here goes.
Mobile Safari, by default, renders a page as if that page had been viewed by a desktop browser, with a default width of 980 pixels.
To change this behavior you need to explicitly declare the viewport, which you do via meta tags. If you declare the width to the constant device-width, it'll default to 320 instead of 980, and everything looks great.
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,user-scalable=no" />
</head>
I'd say set the viewport meta tag in your blank page so Safari knows to render the page at the right size. For more information, see this link:
