My website is built using HTML5 Boilerplate, and is being cropped on the iPad when the iPad is positioned vertically, but appears the way it's supposed to when the iPad is horizontal. Here's the link to the site I built: http://designedbyallison.com/hhsc/
Basically, the area that shows the website is being scaled down while the website design elements themselves appear to be the right size within the iPad display area.
I've tried to locate which lines of code in the CSS or JavaScript files control this aspect of the website but can't figure it out. I have even tried removing the JavaScript and CSS within the html file and the scaling issue is still apparent. Any help is appreciated.
You may find the <meta name="viewport" /> tag helpful.
I'd start with
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0" />

everyone. I am writing a website and testing it on mobile devices. It is deployed here: http://vizio.distro.tv/web.html
When I rotate my phone to horizontal, sometimes the video becomes bigger than the screen, and I have to use my fingers to zoom in to make it fit the screen. Then when I rotate my phone to vertical, the video does not go back to its original position in the player container, it is bigger and goes beyond the screen. This problem is more common for "Live Channel" videos. However, when I test it on Chrome's developer tool (using its mobile device tool), everything works fine.
Can anyone help me find what the problem is? I can provide the code if needed.
Try adding this in the <head> tag?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no">
Wrap your video player into a <div></div>
you can use the media queries of CSS to do that job for you.
CSS mostly does the job when it comes to webpage responsiveness.
Also media queries are partnered with this meta tag
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

I already using bootstrap css but it still croping like that, any suggestion?
This is usually because the device doesn't know to scale the website to the device width.
You should make sure that <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> is added in the head section of your HTML
I have a blog website where I used the viewport property to scale the site in mobiles, it was working perfectly using:
<meta name="viewport" />
Then it stopped working for no reason, didn't touch the code at all. Now I've been trying with everything I find online, from max-width to initial-scale, etc. Still doesn't work.
What could be happening? Is there any update that cancelled the viewport property?

If you are not coding a responsive site, just don’t use any meta viewport. If you are coding a responsive website, all you need to write is
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Any additional parameters in the content attribute usually screw up user’s experience.
Reference: Stop using the viewport meta tag (until you know how to use it)
I'm using Bootstrap for a website and I notice that when I view my layout on a mobile device, my mobile's web browser automatically zooms in to a particular top left corner portion of the webpage. I want the browser to show the whole webpage at start instead of zooming into the top left corner. Showing the whole webpage (albeit may be a little small in size) is the default behaviour when I don't use Bootstrap.
Is it possible to get Bootstrap to show the whole webpage instead of zooming in to the page when first entering it on a mobile device?
This most likely has to do with the viewport being set. Assuming your webpage is a standard size, you can use:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1024">
make sure to place that in the head of your page - or replace the one that is currently there.
I believe you're looking for the Viewport html tag: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag
You can disable it by removing the viewport meta code from your . This worked in my application. If you want to have it correct for your device, put this in into head tags.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

I'm in the process of developping a Web Application for mobiles. I
went with web applications because to me it seems a winning situation
having to develop one application that could run also on iPhone /
Windows Mobile / Palm etc.
I started testing today after a few days of doing concepts, ideas and
designs and what I wanted to do was have a menu that sticks at the
bottom of the page. Exactly like the menu on the bottom in this iPhone
application screenshot :
Using CSS, I though it would be really easy to do this. Only using
position:fixed; bottom:0; would have done the trick but I have found
it doesn't behave the same on mobile browsers
I tried to split my page in 2 sections : 1 would be a scrollable div
(for the content) and the other one would be the bottom menu.
Scrollable divs also do not work on Android. I also tried using frames
with no luck either. Does anyone know of any way to re-create a menu
that would stick to the bottom of a page for mobile phones?
On my Android N1 with CyanogenMod i had this trouble too and the fix:
<meta
name="viewport"
content="width=100%,
initial-scale=1,
maximum-scale=1,
minimum-scale=1,
user-scalable=no"/>
Specifically the user-scalable=no; part, you can also put 0 instead of no.
Interestingly this breaks androids rendering of buttons, but all you have to do is set a background color to buttons.
Just add:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no" />
to the page and you're set for Android 2.2+. This worked on a page I was testing on my phone. Source: When can I use CSS position:fixed?
This is supposed to work :)

Just got an upgrade to Android 2.2 (Froyo) on my HTC Desire, and I'm happy to say that position fixed now works, at least when you use the viewport meta tag to set initial-scale and width. Still doesn't seem to work on regular web pages though.
I confirm that using the meta name in your html header
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
you'll have a fixed div on scrolling vertical and horizontal on Android 2.2, 2.3 and up
and iOS 4 and up.
I made an example here:
