I'm trying to help fix a friend's webpage. She paid a guy $800 to make a site for her, and as soon as it went up, he bounced without making it compatible with iOS Safari (as he had promised). She can't get a hold of this guy and it's months later. So anyway, I'm trying to help her out. www.avasassi.com
I tried to fix the viewport tag
The entire display showed up too large on iOS safari
You couldn't properly zoom out to view the page
She wants it to load up correctly, and centered on the initial load up
Every page has this issue
I've only tweaked index.hmtl and projects.html so far
The original viewport tag was...
<meta content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=1;" name="viewport">
I tried tweaking it to this viewport tag with mediocre results
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale = 0.5" />
Next the projects page (projects.html)
shows the individual images centered in firefox and chrome, but on safari on iPhone
it's off center, and somehow cuts the orange bar short so that it doesn't span the whole page
the images aren't centered with the header
Here's the code for the project page's images...
<section id="frame">
<div class="row1 cbox"><a class="samlink" href="saltysam.html"></a></div>
<div class="row2 cbox"><a class="spicelink" href="spicemates.html"></a></div>
<div class="row3 cbox"><a class="khloelink" href="khloe.html"></a></div>
<div class="row4 cbox"><a class="simonlink" href="simon.html"></a></div>
<div class="row5 cbox"><a class="thrivelink" href="thrive.html"></a></div>
</section>
CSS
#frame {
width: 450px;
height: 1850px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
display: block;
&
.cbox {
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
opacity: 1.0;
filter: alpha(opacity=100);
width: 450px;
margin: 0 auto;
Any and all help is gladly appreciated. Cheers.

[link removed] on iPhone, the top banner will not stretch all the way. Solution?
heres a screenshot: ![enter image description here][1]
Here's the CSS ive applied to the div:
#banner {
background-color: #F7F7F7;
background-size: cover;
box-shadow: 0 0 30px 2px #DCCFBF inset;
display: inline-block;
height: 200px;
width: 100%;
Issue 2. In chrome, when I resize the browser window, the bottom two nav icons shift (graphic design and social media). I put them in a container to try to keep them in place but it still happens... only on chrome. I realize the whole site shifts, but the other icons in the nav stop after a while and the bottoms one overlap them and it looks bad. Any suggestions?
The banner doesn't stretch all the way because your content is wider than what mobile Safari treats as the full width. It then scales down the whole page to fit the content and strands the header a bit.
see this answer to a similar question
It is usually fixed by adding
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
to the <head>
As for the icons, Chrome seems to be respecting the #media query value of width: 100% on #home (line 528 of main.css) as you shrink the browser window while Firefox does not, and retains the first value width: 1020px (l. 91)
This is a website with the mobile view.
The website width is 640px but the iPhone renders the document in 678px. In android it look great.
I added viewport meta:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=640, user-scalable">
And the body CSS is:
body,html{
margin:0px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
padding:0px;
font-size:14px;
font-family: "Arial";
background: white;
direction: rtl;
text-align: right;
width:640px !important;
overflow: hidden;}
In iPhone it looks like this:
As you can see it adds 38 pixels on the left side, not related to the body (if I set the body background to blue the side still stays white).
I tried everything but with no luck.
Any ideas?
Firstly it would help to be starting with clean HTML and CSS—your HTML is far from valid, and that can cause all sorts of errors (see here just for the HTML errors...).
Secondly:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=640, user-scalable">
is incorrect. It needs to be:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=640, user-scalable=yes">
and it would be better practice if it was:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=yes">
(See here).
With a clean starting-point, it will be easier to debug. Also, turn on the Mobile Safari debug console and respond to any messages it gives you.
I finally found a solution.
These lines were added because of the right alignment on the body CSS:
text-align:right;
direction:rtl;
If I remove these lines and add them to a div inside the body it's working fine.
I've found many related questions but none with an answer that explains how to scroll an iframe using the 2 finger method in iOS 4.
I am able to scroll a div with 2 fingers by setting a width and height attribute and setting overflow: scroll;. Here's a more complete example of this:
<div style='width: 280px; height: 200px; overflow: scroll; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;'>
Just imagine a bunch of content is in here, spanning well over 200px
worth of height. You can scroll this just fine in iOS 4 by using 2
fingers, or in iOS 5 by swiping 1 finger thanks to
"-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;".
</div>
This same method isn't working on iframes on my iPad 1 running iOS 4.3. Here's a complete example that won't scroll with any combination of fingers in iOS 4 (although, of course, the -webkit-overflow-scrolling allows it to work on iOS5):
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#scroller {
width: 280px;
height: 200px;
overflow: scroll;
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}
#scroller iframe {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="scroller">
<iframe src="content.html">content.html is a big list of nonsense.</iframe>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I must add that I can get 2 finger scrolling to work if I set the width and height of the iframe to actual pixel values, like height: 1000px;, but I will never know how tall the iframe's content will be. So, perhaps the real question is how can I convince mobile Safari in iOS 4 that the iframe inside of this div is indeed larger than 280x200 pixels?
A simple idea posted by rossb # github.com/fancyapps worked beautifully for both scrolling in iOS 4 (2 fingers) and iOS 5 (1 finger) and solves the "blank content on scroll" issues that iOS 5's iframes seem to be plagued with. Basically, you don't want the iframe to handle any scrolling. Give it a fixed width/height and wrap the scrollable content in your included file in a div that can be scrolled.
Here's an example:
<iframe id="stupid-iframe" width="600" height="200" src="a-file.html"></iframe>
a-file.html:
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;">
...all my normal content...
</div>
</body>
</html>
I'm making a mobile version of my application support site and I have a little WebKit/iOS/HTML/CSS problem here...
I have a page, index.php, with mobile.css file attached. In my <head> tag I have:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, max-scale=1.0" />
My body's css:
body {
font-family:"HelveticaNeue-Light","Helvetica Neue Light","Helvetica Neue","Helvetica","Lucida Grande",Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
margin: 0;
background: url(../../images/textured_bg.png) repeat;
color:#454545;
font-size: 14px;
text-shadow: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) 0 1px;
width:100%;
}
Everything works fine in portrait orientation, but when I rotate my iPhone to landscape, Safari scales my content so it looks like in portrait, but a little bigger:
My question: Is there a way, without making custom css for each orientation, to force Safari not to scale my content?
The key part to fixing this isn't the meta viewport tag (though that's important, too, but for different reasons). Here's the magic that fixes the text size on orientation change.
html {
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;
}
(I got this from StackExchange's mobile CSS file.)
You will probably want to use the <meta name="viewport" .../> tag (see MDN docs and Safari Web Content Guide). The mobile Stack Exchange layout uses this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0" />
I tried commas, didn't work - then tried semicolons, that DID work. iPod touch, iOS 4.2
I recently have been working on a pilot mobile website for the company I work for. After performing a small alpha test, I came across several width issues for blackberries and iphones.
When you access my mobile site on a blackberry bold or an iphone, the width container is ending maybe 5-10% shy of the overall width of the view. On a blackberry curve, the container gets cut at maybe 50-60% of the overall width except for the speaker images on the homepage.
Here is the site:
http://www.iirusa.com/upload/wysiwyg/2011-P-Div/P1656/Mobile_web/home.html
I originally found this line of code to help resizing on an ipad, but have had no luck with blackberry/iphone specific issues.
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width" />
Just as a sidenote, I haven't experienced any width issues on any android devices.
Please help! And let me know if I can provide anymore information!
try this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1">
EDIT:
After further review, it looks like the issue is with the style on .bottom - it has a width of 100%, but a padding of 10px, so it will be 20px larger than the screen.
I also noticed there's a white bar below your content on the page, I assume you don't want that. It's fixed in the .container style below.
Here's an easy fix for that. Just replace the following styles:
.bottom {
background:#2D3192;
width:100%;
}
.bottom p {
font-size:.70em;
color:#FFF;
font-family: "HelveticaNeue-Light", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight:400;
padding: 10px;
}
.container {
width:100%;
padding-top: 10px;
background:url(http://www.iirusa.com/upload/wysiwyg/2011-P-Div/P1656/Mobile_web/P1656_mobileBG.jpg) repeat-x #FFF;
margin:0;
top:0;
}
I left the old blocks in so you'll be able to just swap them out with your current ones.
Oh, and you can also change your meta back to:
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width" />
Hope that helps!
