Zooming in and out on a iPhone/iPad isn't working properly on my website

This is going sound like I am trying to draw attention to my website...I apologize. Its not intended to. But I'm missing something that allows my website to "pull back" on a *iphone or ipad* to get a birds eye view of the site. If someone, with web building skills, would be willing to check out my website at www.brainmatter.mobi on a *iPhone or iPad*, you will see whats happening.
Try pinching out. It lets you zoom out to get a better look at the site. But when you release it snaps back in (the problem is more acute on a iphone.) At first, I thought this might be a limitation of having built it in iWeb--this was just a get-it-up-and-running draft of the site. But I have since also done some tests making the site with DreamWeaver and it behaves the same way. So could someone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong here?
Interesting observation. It appears that the zoom is partially working. It seems to stay in one of two zoom positions (kind of close in and really zoomed in).
I have asked this before. Many have suggested that I needed to make the website 980 pixels wide--which I tried and got the same results. I thought the iphone and ipad would just detect the size and act appropriately: It doesn't. So its something that must have to be embedded in the website.
Thanks in advance.

What is the content width of your site? If it's greater than 980 that may be the problem. 980 is what Apple suggests for mobile sites.
The site just fits my iPad when it's in the landscape orientation, but barely. If you want it to fit somewhat nicer in the window make the content width what I suggested and the text, etc. less that than so there's a border visible between the text, images, etc. and the edge of the window.
My tutorial site, http://toadstutorials.info and Demo Sites are set up that way.

  • My iPad isn't working properly. When I try to connect to the internet or follow a link it shuts down and returns to the main screen. Any clue as to what could be causing this? Not my internet connection, I checked that.

    My iPad isn't working. I cannot follow a link in an email or connect to a game. It goes to a black screen then back to the main screen. Any idea what could be causing this?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.
    Relaunch the App and try again.

    Reset the device. (Same article as above.)

  • Pinch in and out on trackpad not working to zoom in and out in firefox

    Ever since i bought my macbook pro (early 2011) I was able to use the pinch in and out trackpad feature to zoom in and out in firefox. This suddenly stopped working a couple of days ago. It still works in safari so this seems to be Firefox specific. All other trackpad features are still working too.
    I uninstalled Firefox on my mac by moving the Firefox icon to the trash and downloaded/installed it again. Note that i didn't delete my profile (just deleted the Firefox icon) so all bookmarks were preserved even after downloading and installing Firefox from scratch. This didn't help fixing the issue.
    Any ideas on this problem ? how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    All these programs seem to be for windows. I am facing the issues with firefox on a macbook pro.
    I wasn't suggesting resetting Firefox. I have already done this step a couple of days ago as I was facing connectivity issues with some websites completely freezing and not loading. reset didn't help. I started seeing the trackpad issue around the time i did the reset.
    I am wondering if uninstalling Firefox and deleting all data associated with it (profiles etc) would fix the issue. Can you advise on what should be deleted with firefox?

  • I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

    I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

    At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

  • Zoom in and out on iphone 4, like on previous version?like on the pictures

    Hello,
    I have a question.
    Is it possible to zoom in and out on applications, e-mails, websites etc.. using 2 fingers, like on previous iphone versions?
    or like on the pictures for example.
    You put both fingeres and you can zoom in or out ..
    and i dont mean the " 3 fingers" thinguie..
    Does anybody know if with iphone 4 is possible? did they change that??
    i liked it on 3gs..

    Is it possible to zoom in and out on applications, e-mails, websites etc.. using 2 fingers, like on previous iphone versions?
    I find this an odd question. It's been of the biggest selling points of the iPhone since day 1.... why would you think this feature is not available anymore?

    You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    I have no idea what the "freezer fix" is, nor why anyone would think temporary exposure to cold will somehow fix a hardware issue with a 100% solid state device.  Also, actually freezing your iPhone may very well itself cause damage.
    If you dropped it and wifi immediately failed to work, the odds are you inflicted physical damage to it - perhaps the antennae connection internally.  You could try a simple reset and see if that helps, but if not, you need to take it into Apple for an evaluation and diagnosis.
    If it has internal damage, since you dropped it, your warranty no longer applies.  Apple does not repair iOS devices, the merely swap them for factory refurbished units (and send your damaged one back to the manufacturer in China for refurbishment or recycling).  You would ahve to pay the out of warranty replacement fee (look on your country's Apple web site, under support for the iPhone for fees).

    My iapd 2 screen keep zooming in and out. At the  same time, it also moving . How could i solve this problem?

    As with everything hardware related you need to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and ask for a pressure/vacuum test to be carried out http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
