Tips for adjusting the initial scale to ensure your mobile website fits perfectly on the screen

I'm trying to figure out the best way to adjust the 'initial-scale' so that my website's width fits perfectly on any device screen when first loaded.

Check out my website here:

While it looks fine on regular browsers, I had some issues with text and iframe display on mobile browsers. Adding the viewport meta tag resolved these problems:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />

<meta name="viewport" content="width=240, height=320, user-scalable=yes, initial-scale=0.3, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=0.3" />

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

It is important to set the initial scale correctly to avoid issues such as parts of the iframe not displaying properly when zoomed. Setting a smaller initial scale allows for smoother zooming in and out.

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />

Answer №1

The solution to my issues was actually quite simple - I removed all the meta tags above and inserted the following line into my CSS:

html * {max-height:1000000px;}

By doing this, I was able to address the font inflation/boosting problem that was causing compatibility issues with mobile devices.

Interestingly, without any viewport meta tags, the browsers I tested (default, Chrome, and Firefox on Android) automatically adjusted to the page width.
