I'm having a bit of an issue. I have built a responsive site at http://www.nickpassaro.com/ClientSiteDev/New-NPD/ but for some reason, while it works perfectly on the desktop and rearranges its layout properly when you resize the browser window, it isn't working right on mobile devices. On the iPhone, its sending me to the tablet site, and on windows phone 8, it is showing me the mobile site but everything looks really zoomed out. My media queries are set to use under 640px for mobile, under 960 for tablet, and over 960 for desktop. Can someone hit view source on my site and see if they can see why it's using device pixels rather than CSS pixels?
thank you.
the reason its not working properly is that you have not assigned the Viewport.

a basic viewport for your case can be:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

i made a website responsive but when it loads into the phone it is zoomed automatically i applied view port as well but didn't find solution.
view port
j query
these doesn't solve my problem.
any one please help to fix this out
I understand your problem as I just solved a similar problem myself.
Method 1
You can specify the amount of zoom that is applied by targeting a specific device group. try adding this to your index.html
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
This should keep your website from trying to scale with zoom.
If this does not work then try targeting specific devices with css
#viewport { width: 100vw ; min-zoom: 100% zoom: 100% ; }
Try playing around with the zoom and width values to find your device range.
Method 2
Open Firefox on your laptop or desktop and go to your site. and in the firefox options choose responsive view. Then press ctrl+shift+c and hover over your page to select the full page container. on the lower right hand side there will be a window with css. There you should find the element that is zooming in.
Also please update your question with your website
This website...
http://www.collegefundingremedies.com
is responsive on my computer, and displays correctly when I Inspect Elements through Google Chrome and click on the mobile the different mobile views, but when I open the website on an actual mobile phone, everything is unaligned and badly formatted. What am I missing here?
I have the...
<meta id="viewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
in the index and media queries set up, so I'm not sure what's going on at all. Please help.
The iPhone and other smartphone render a virtual window with of 320px. To work with this I used the meta-tag viewport:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
The only problem is that my designer wants every smartphone to take 480px to render. Thus I tried width=480px, but I don't want tablets involved. Only smartphones should take this width of 480px. Is there a professional way to solve this problem (without PHP or JavaScript)?
I'm making a small web project with Bootstrap 3.
At the top I've put this as it was suggested in most documents:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
It works fine on desktop but layout seems to be small on my smartphone (Galaxy Note). Because this web app will mostly be used on a smartphone I wanted to force small screen by adding this to head section of html:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=320">
It didn't work, I've got same layout as of screen resolution greater than 768px.
What I want to achieve is Bootstrap to act in xs layout in small-factor screen size, independent of screen resolution.
Thanks
UPDATE:
Here is the fiddle: Fiddle Link
Display Metrics of my phone are: density=2.0 Dpi=320 heightPixels=800
scaledDensity=2.0 widthPixels=1280
EDIT:
Here are two screenshots. (I'll do a fiddle later) First is from phone, second from desktop. Desktop screenshot is what I want to get on a smartphone even if its resolution is on par with desktop.
Desktop:
UPDATE 2:
I've added this meta tag, but it didn't change anything on Android default browser or Chrome mobile:
<meta name="MobileOptimized" content="320">
What you are trying to achieve is overriding the basic premise of Bootstrap. Bootstrap uses the following scaling classes...
lg - For extra large displays
md - For standard sized displays such as desktops and laptops
sm - For tablet devices and devices with screens around the 7-11 inch range
xs - For mobile phones and devices with such small screens
The point of Bootstrap is to create a website style which will adjust itself based on the screen size automatically. You can use the md scaling class and if a smaller device is used then the elements will be collapsed and stacked on top of one another.
I'm trying to get Foundation to be responsive on my iPhone's browsers. I've tried Safari and Chrome on my phone and both of them show the desktop layout.
On the desktop however, if I shrink the browser window I see the layout respond.
I even tried adding one of Zurb's sample templates and that still didn't work.
