This is how the site I'm putting together should look:
GB Personal Training
This is what it looks like on the iPhone:
iPhone Browser
As you can see it pushes in the #wrap and #outer-wrap DIVs, so that the background images in them have a right margin and I don't know why. I only have access to the custom.css file and not the HTML.
I'm currently editing a clone of it at:

Define max-width in your body. Write like this:
body {
min-width: 1000px;
}
add this inside your HTMLhead:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
Actually this will prevent the user to zoom the content (wich sucks, from an user end experience):
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
Instead, in my opinion (and I am no guru), you should use:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1000px">
Try setting a width for #outer_wrap and #wrap (you probably want 100%).
It looks like Mobile Safari is expanding the size of the #visual-portal-wrapper div, which isn't enough because Safari resizes text for iPhone display. You can change this with -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; but that would make the links rather undersized for iPhone users. That's why it fits in a normal browser but not in Mobile Safari.
Changing the width of the divs should stop them from having content expand beyond their edges (they're 974px by default because that's what #visual-portal-wrapper is, but all the contents overflow and cause the visual errors) and have the background images appear cut off. You might also want to add background positioning for #outer_wrap since it appears slightly off on the screenshot from what I'm seeing in Firefox.
Edit: Alternatively, you could try changing the width: 974px; on the #visual-portal-wrapper div to min-width: 974px;, of course making sure you account for IE's problems with min-width).

I've developing a store on eBay and having trouble with it on iPhones...
It seems to be nicely responsive in a normal browser, but when I view it on an iPhone it only takes up about half of the screen...
Is there something I'm missing?
The URL is http://stores.ebay.co.uk/the-biggest-toy-store
I've added a viewport tag like this:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Thanks!
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;">
in your index.html page and it should work
A few things I noticed in your site, remove the min-width: 760px from your .stBadge (in your media query only). That will help get the footer within the screen boundary. There is also some kind of border up top that has a wider-than-screen width, possible the #gh-top div... but that may be fixed once the other is.
I'm serving a page for phones and tablets. I am using OpenX to serve advertising on there. The advertising should be loaded in an iframe which should be the width of the page. I'm using bootstrap.
I tested things with this code:
<iframe src='http://www.cnn.com' width=100% height=120px scrolling='no'></iframe>
This makes an iframe that's the exact same width as the browser window. Problem is that if I open this on an iphone it will rescale the iframe to the size of the window loaded in it, and that's very unwanted behaviour. It doesn't do it on my desktop, only on the iphone. I haven't tested yet with other smartphones.
Basically what I'm looking for is an iframe that is the same width as the screen (100%) and doesn't rescale when I load a bigger page in it
I'm pretty sure you are looking for the viewport meta tag to control this. Here is a reference that will explain it completely: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag
Basically you want to drop this code into your head:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
I've converted an existing site theme (that I did not build) into a responsive theme for mobile support. It's a Drupal 6 site, if that matters.
I'm getting a slight right white margin on most interior pages, and I can't seem to find the culprit. I've tried setting the body width to 100%, setting overflow-x to hidden on the body tag, and outlining all the divs in red to find the culprit.
Do you know of any causes of a right margin on mobile Safari?
View port setting:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
The right side margin is not for scrollbar, as this margin differs from sites that fit right like cnn.com
An example interior page:

(Trying to avoid a Google index. This demo site is not under my control, so I can't put in the normal measures I would to properly prevent a stage site from being indexed.)
I'm sorry to say this, but that is one piece of disgusting HTML. 20+ CSS includes, 10+ javascripts, divs nested 10 levels deep...
Anyway, if the (logical) width of the device is 320px (i.e. all iPhones) then doing this:
<iframe src="http://meltwaternews.com/magenta/xml/html/93/2/v2_371253.html"
width="343" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
allowtransparency="true" style="overflow-x: hidden;">
will make the page 343px wide, giving a white edge. Nothing special.
Try setting it to 320px or 100%.
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.

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 editing our News site's mobile CSS file. On the iPhone 3gs, 4 & simulator there are some pages (not all) there is an extra right margin.
Here's an example of a page WITH the extra margin:
http://bit.ly/mMA2q7
..and here's an example of a page without it:
http://bit.ly/iQeOGY
Both pages are using the same template. I'm guessing the images are adding the extra margin.
Here is our mobile CSS file http://bit.ly/iW5JVm and viewport:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=1;"/>
I tried applying different min-width values to the body but haven't found a solution.
Do you know how to get rid of this extra margin on the iPhone?
your photobanner div is too wide. It gets set to 500px which is way too much :)
try to add width:auto!important to it :)
Same problem, I fixed it adding this code in header:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1100" />
