The main body of my site is 480px wide - see example here: http://5things.me/
It should fit perfectly on the iphone, but somehow the default view seems to be using a far wider grid.
I am showing 2 images below - the first one is what it currently appears as, the second one is what is should appear as.
I should not need to do too much mobile customization, since the whole site is only 480px wide =)
Add this to your page
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />

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 am using the StageWebView Class to show html pages inside my iOS app. Everything is working fine except for the scrolling. It allowing the end-user to scroll the entire webview and is showing an unsightly gray background after reaching the end of the pages content.
My question is: Is there a way to disable the scrolling past the content of the page?
I don't think there's a way to do what. The StageWebView uses the iOS default browser which implements this feature (with a different background color, the behavior is the same though).
Did you try with this viewport?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
The important part is user-scalable=no which should remove the "scroll bounce" of the iOS browser.
I am having some difficulty with Adobe Device Central CS3. I am doing a mobile website test only using Html and CSS I am busy testing it via device central using all the Nokia Phones in the library.
I did a moch up in Ps using Nokia N80 which is 352px by 416px (my photoshop document)
On my Meta tags I put the following code:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<!--The iPhone will auto fit the screen -->
<meta name="viewport" content="width=240, height=320, user-scalable=yes, initial-scale=0.7, maximum-scale=5.0, minimum-scale=1.0" />
<!-- adjusting Web pages to screens and adjusting Web page content size -->
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
<script type="text/javascript">
if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1) || (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('iPod') != -1))
document.location = "http://iphone.mywebsite.com/index.html";
When I am viewing with devices less than 352px by 416px the content gets chopped and you have to scroll sideways. From the blogs that I have read putting "viewport" is suppose to fix the problem and make the content/site scalable according to the device used.
I should also make a note that I have a wrapper div that holds everything and it has a fixed width and height.
#wrapper {
width:352px;
height:416px;
background:url(../images/Site-Bg_02.png) repeat;
}
Help!
You could set your viewport width to 352, but I STRONGLY recommend instead designing your page with flexibility in mind, i.e. don't use absolute pixel values. Instead use percentage widths, and try resizing your browser (if you don't have access to actual devices to test with) to ensure that your elements fit correctly in a variety of widths.
The viewport tag will only work on certain devices, and fixed-pixel sizing is generally a mobile web no-no.
This is how the site I'm putting together should look:

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:
gbptclone.live.subhub.com/
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'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" />
