HTML5 Zoom Feature Problem on Safari iOS iDevices?

Hello,
I am building my own website in HTML5. If you have an iPhone (I use a 4S) you can check it out here: http://bigapplephototours.com/html5/
When the website is first loaded up in portrait mode, the website fits nice and neat within the iPhones dimensions (if small). When you turn the iPhone to landscape mode, the website fills in this space nicely too.
The problem happens when you turn the iPhone back into portrait mode. Using Safari, the website automatically zooms in and you can't see most of of the website. When you turn the phone, yet again, to landscape mode, the website stays in zoom mode. I don't want this.
I only want the zooming feature in Safari to work when the screen is tapped. Check out http://www.apple.com and http://www.neonsky.com. These are two websites, when viewed with Safari on the iPhone, that stay unzoomed.
Can someone please provide me with the correct HTML5 code that will fix this problem? So far, my google searches have yielded several other people with the same coding problem. Every fix I have tried has not worked. Please, if you know how to fix this problem, would you please give me a detailed coding fix?
Thank you,
David

Doesn't display dialog to open file (Safari iOS 8.1)

Hello.
There is some repeatable problem in Safari iOS 8.1:
Safari does not display a dialog to open a file (archive .zip for example) after downloading it from hosting via temporary direct link (see screenshot 1 - front page),
although the correct dialog form on the page can be seen in miniatures layer (see screenshot 2 - miniature).
So I can't open downloaded .zip file in any other application, because I can't see any control elements on the front page.
Thanks
& kind regards.

I seem to have resolved the problem, though the solution is very surprising.
I tried Settings > Safari > Names and Passwords.
I got the "Passcode Lock Suggested" message, so I cancelled. Names and Passwords is still off.
BUT now I'm still signed on when I open a new tab.
Also, I'm still signed on when I turn the iPad off and on again, which never used to happen.
Another behaviour it changed was when you close the first window (using the "double square" icon to reveal the hidden close button). That used to bring up Private Browsing (until the next time you turn the iPad on), but now it produces a blank Safari page (a good thing) and frequently visited sites (a very bad thing, since all tracking options are off, to the best of my understanding).
I'm also getting Search Engine hints from Google, even though that option's turned off.
In the OP, I reported "I enabled the Favorites bar to stop the bug which makes tab 1 go blank when tab 2 is closed." Not quite true. The bug happens less often, but still occurs. Sometimes it's fixed by tapping the bar at the top, but more often I have to go to menu and reselect Safari.
Overall, Safari is obviously very buggy, I'm amazed that it has been released without testing.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Zoom feature in iOS 7 for iPhone 4S

In Apples iOS user guide for ios 7 it states that the zoom feature in the video mode for the iSight camera is available for the iPhone 4S and above when in fact it is not. I spoke to two senior technicians in tech support and they both agreed that the information in the user guide is incorrect but could not provide either an explanation or a solution. Interestingly, the zoom feature in the video mode is available for the iPhone 4S operating with iOS 5 but is not available in newer iOS platforms. I think Apple should include this feature in an iOS 7 update since it was available in previous iOS platforms and it was a listed feature in the iOS 7 user guide. Did Apple do this to make people upgrade to a newer iphone? Apple needs to provide accurate information to the public in order for consumers to make educated decisions when when choosing an iPhone. It is a decision most consumers must live with for two years when they enter into a contract with a wireless carrier. This error was also missed and not reported by tech reviews on the Internet.

“Zoom in or out. (iSight camera) Stretch or pinch the image on the screen. For iPhone 4S or later, zoom is available in video mode as well as for still photos.”

What's this 'Zoom' feature in Safari?

I was wondering what exactly do you do with this 'Zoom' feature in Safari 3.1.1. When I hit 'Zoom' the window just resizes. But I don't think anything gets zoomed in. So, what's this feature for? How to get this thing working?

Hi,
Oddly enough, I just tried that, and all it did was to make the page bigger, but it also 'zoomed' in to your posting, in much the same way as clicking on the green button does. I suspect that it's tool that enables us to go to a particular part of a page (such as the postings in these forums) rather than have to scroll through them. I've also discovered, that to click on minimise sends the page to the dock, so you would do better to click on the green button to restore the page to a more workable size, or to the window size before you clicked on Zoom.

The new version of Firefox does not seem to allow multi-touchscreen pinch/zoom feature. Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix the problem? Thanks.

Since the new version of Firefox (which I love, esp the reduced menu bars at the top, leaving more web page viewable space), I am unable to use the multi-touch pinch/zoom function to resize pages. the scrolling still works, and all worked fine before.
Is this a bug or is there something I can do to fix it?
Thanks for your time.

Not a fix but if it's just a web site here and there that you find yourself using the pinch zoom feature you can use the IE Tab 2 addon to automatically use the ie engine and the zoom works.
You lose the other firefox features on those pages but as I said, if it's just a few sites it's worth a look.
I sure hope the Mozilla community fixes this in their desktop PC version soon. You can't gripe if it's free so I just keep waiting. :)
Their android and iOS version supports it so why not the PC version?

Why is my zoom feature not working in Safari?

Last week when I used the zoom feature on the internet, it made the whole page larger and magnified everything. Now when I zoom, it only makes the text bigger but leaves everything else the same, thus resulting in a very distorted picture. The help feature is telling me to "zoom all", but it does the exact same thing.
I haven't changed anything in my settings so not sure what's happened. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great. Thanks.

Thank you. I was clicking on the other options for zoom but it wasn't allowing me to select them. I tried clicking directly on the arrow and it allowed me to "deselect" the Zoom Text Only option. Cheers!

Mobile Safari iOS 5: Blurry websites

Anyone else having the issue, to see a blurried website after zooming in / out sometimes? It's just like my iPod wasn't able to sharpen the site again after zooming. Already killed Safari and restarted the iPod. Problem happens again sporadic after some hours. It's not really reproduceable.
I saw someone else having this issue on an iPhone using iOS 5

This started happening to me yesterday. Crazy bizarre. Text is almost unreadable.

Macbook Pro Pinch/Zoom feature does not work with Firefox 6

Can someone please tell me how to fix this major problem?
I can not get the Pinch/Zoom feature on the track pad to work on my Macbook Pro. I am running OS 10.6.8.
I have seen this below in other posts, and have tried it, but it STILL does not work !!!!

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

TS1398 Did anybody got problem after downloading ios 6 on iPhone 4?

Did anybody got problem after downloading iOS 6 on iPhone 4??cause mine one got problem......1st,my signal got weak and 2nd my safari browser got problem....slow and unable to connect to network sometime???even my 1st gen iPad much faster.....while open safari browser.....

My Verizon 16 GB iPhone 4 Camera is fine. It is even located on the lock screen.
What may have happened is they may have moved your icon to another location. But check the lock screen. There should be a camera icon next to the slide bar. Just press the camera ico and slide it UP

Problems with Safari 6.0.1 on OS 10.7.5

I'm having massive freezing problems with Safari 6.0.1 freezing up on me in the last 10 days or so. I'm running OS 10.7.5 on 27" iMac Intel circa mid 2011. Any help appreciated.

Okay. At the beginning of this discussion I was on 6.0.1. However, I responded to an update since then and since I didn't realize 6.0.2 wasn't compatible with Lion I responded and updated.
Now, with your message, a clean 6.0.1 installation sounds like a great idea. However, I've downloaded it from your link and when I install just from the install program, I still have an "About Safari" showing 6.0.2. I then tried setting up a separate Safari folder in the Applications folder and installed into that. I only got some Safari-associated folders and items there but no new Safari app icon... and the Safari 6.0.2 icon (which I hadn't gotten rid of since I don't want to lose my bookmarks, etc... want to transfer those once the 6.0.1 is there) is still there.
All the hanging-up problems are still happening, btw... and probably even worse. Right now I'm using Camino, a good browser but Safari has features I'd like to get back to... got Firefox, too, and like it, but I've got it set up for other family members to use and Safari here for me.
Any help on how to get 6.0.1 installed again without losing bookmarks greatly appreciated.

I am having problems attaching files to my email using the latest Firefox 13.0.1, Comcast is my internet provider, but I did not have problem with Safari.

Why am I having problems attaching files to my email using Firefox 13.0.1.?
I am using a MAC, OS 10.6.8, and have Comcast as my internet provider. I noticed after I upgraded to Firefox 13.0.1 that I am having problems attaching files to my email. I do not experience the same problem with Safari, but I prefer to use Firefox, as all of my bookmarks and passwords are saved there. I just like the way Firefox works better than Safari.
I am a free-lance graphic designer and rely on my internet connection to my customers. I need this resolved ASAP!

Could you start by resetting the zoom level on the page? To do that, you can either:
* Press Ctrl+0 (that's a zero) on the keyboard
* View menu > Zoom > Reset
You also can use zoom to increase/decrease the size from there. This article describes the various mouse, keyboard, and menu methods: [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages]].
Any luck?

Every time I go to a new site or I refresh a site I'm already on, I have to use the zoom feature. Is there a way to keep it zoomed to a certain size page?

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
