jQuery Mobile is experiencing page height inaccuracies

My web application, built with jQuery Mobile 1.2.0, is encountering an issue with page height calculations on Windows Phone. While iOS and Android display correctly, there is a gap at the bottom of the page on Windows Phone.

Is there a CSS-only solution to fix this problem?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Hello World jQuery Mobile</title>
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" /></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div data-role="page" style="background:green">
            <div data-role="header">
                <h1>Page Title</h1>
            </div>
            <div data-role="content">
                <p>Page content goes here.</p>
            </div>
            <div data-role="footer">
                <h4>Page Footer</h4>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Answer №1

There is a well-known issue that can be resolved by hardcoding the min-height for body via CSS in portrait mode only, or following these steps.

function fixBodyMinHeight() {
    var isWindowsPhone7 = window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf("IEMobile/9.0") != -1;

    if (!isWindowsPhone7) return;

    // Only for portrait mode
    if(window.innerHeight <= window.innerWidth) return;

    var zoomFactorW = document.body.clientWidth / screen.availWidth;

    // Default value for web browser app
    var addressBarHeight = 72;

    // Check if no app bar in web view control
    if (typeof window.external.Notify !== "undefined") {
        addressBarHeight = 0;
    }

    var divHeightInDocument = (screen.availHeight - addressBarHeight) * zoomFactorW;
    
    var page = $("div[data-role='page']");
    if (page.length > 0)
        page[0].style.setProperty("min-height", divHeightInDocument + "px", 'important');

}

For Windows Phone 8, you can utilize the following code:

@media screen and (orientation: portrait) {
    @-ms-viewport {
        width: 320px;
        user-zoom: fixed;
        max-zoom: 1;
        min-zoom: 1;
    }
}

@media screen and (orientation: landscape) {
    @-ms-viewport {
        width: 480px;
        user-zoom: fixed;
        max-zoom: 1;
        min-zoom: 1;
    }
}

@Sergei's response: I was able to successfully implement the fix on my initial page, but unfortunately, my other main pages still have floating footers that hover above a white space.

Although there is less white space now (with the footers positioned slightly above the middle of the screen), the issue persists.

I attempted to rerun the code upon changing pages and adjusted the height of the body element with the class "ui-mobile-viewport", but these steps did not resolve the problem.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
