inspecting responsive styles with Chrome - html

I'm building an application and by far the weakest part of my game is Style and Design. But, I'm having one particular problem at the moment. I'm trying to make my dashboard responsive but when I look at the dashboard as an iphone 6 with my chrome inspector the screen zooms out really far and everything breaks... Here is a screen shot of what I mean.
See how the content is really far away... I really don't know how to fix this? Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Please try to add this to your HTML's <head></head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

Media Queries acting weirdly

I am using dream weaver to create a responsive about me page for my site (using the default about me template). When I use the dream weaver on-device previewing system, the page is fully responsive and on my iPhone it resizes perfectly fine to look like this:
However, when I upload the code to the website, the page no longer becomes responsive. It simply looks the same as it does on my laptop (as shown below)
Why is this issue occurring?
The html page is this. If you need me to post the code here as well, please tell me. Your help is much appreciated :)
For media queries to work on small screens, you need to include the viewport meta element in the head of your document. E.g.:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Bootstrap based webpage is not responsive on mobile devices

I recently built a "responsive" webpage with bootstrap. The weird thing is when I check the different resolutions on my computer I can see that the page is truly responsive. When I checked it on my phone the text was small, the navigation menu didn't change to its responsive mode. When i minimize the browser window to the resolution of a phone it works perfectly.
(By the way i checked it on my Gallaxy S3 and WP8, I'm pretty sure the problem is in all mobile devices). I came a cross something called viewport, but its quite hard to understand how to use it.
Can someone help with this problem? How can i fix it?
Thank you all in advance!
Add this to your html:
<head>
...
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

coding a responsive website

Hi guys I hope there are someone that can give a solution for this:
When coding a responsive website I get the problem when the screen turns on a ipad it don't reset the zoom meaning that when users turn to vertical it will zoom in and you have to reload the page or zoom out to see the full design is there a way to force a reset on the zoom or reload when users turn the screen. I pref if the solution comes in css becuase it's only on ipad device the problem is and I can control this in the .ccs fil assignt to devices
I know there has been some questions about this but nothing of that I could use becuase I'm not trying to block that users can zoom in or out but I'm trying to reset the zoom on screen turn
Best regards
Lasse
Add the following meta tag in your HTML code (Inside head tag)
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />

Resizing a webpage to fit in to iPhone screen

I have created a css family tree by going through this tutorial. In desktop browsers it looks perfect. Here is how it looks.
Now I'm trying to make it display the same in iPhone and iPad screens. But when viewing it in those screens, it messes up the layout. Like so.
Note that some of the lines connecting the nodes are missing.
I have tried to resize the page using the html meta tags. Tried all the 3 lines below.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=2.3, user-scalable=no">
But no avail. I simply need to shrink the page to fit the iPhone and iPad screens. Can anyone please tell me how I can accomplish this?
I have also created a fiddle here to demonstrate the problem.
Thanks.
You asked in the wrong category :) this is more css then anything else.
I bet you found an answer by now.
But for your fiddle:
.tree {
width:1100px;
}
Just let me know if you need anything more.
Have a nice day.

iPad Scaling Issues in Website Build

I tried searching for the better part of three days, but maybe I'm not asking my question right so I decided to try here.
I'm currently developing a website that I feel looks amazing, however on the iPad it's zoomed in with a ratio of 1 to 1 from the start. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this problem. On other websites that I built the iPad simply scales the view to fit into its viewing area. But sadly that is not the case for this.
Here is the website currently
I'm developing on Wordpress, using the Genesis Framework. Can someone please lend a hand?
You should use the Viewport meta tag to specify how you want your website to behave on different screens:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag
It's the viewport meta tag that does this. Here's the one you are using:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=yes"/>
