How can I disable ALL viewport zooming for a webpage accessed via IE11 on WinRT?
I'm working on an application that does it's own drawing on a canvas sized to fit the viewport, and provides it's own zoom functionality internally. Having the browser zoom then makes a mess of the canvas.
I've been going through existing answers, and none of them seem to work for this plaform:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0"/>
or<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;">
or<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />
or<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no" />
or<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
In the <header>
all have no effect.
Additionally, I'd like to block double-tap-zooming, but the various jQuery snippets I've seen don't seem to work here either.
Open Internet Explorer on the Desktop....... Tools → Internet Options → Advanced (tab on top) → Accessibility. CHECK the box "Reset zoom level for new windows and tabs" Click APPLY.
To disable the zooming option with the multi-touch gesture we can use surefox browser but still, a user can zoom in or out by double tapping on the screen. We can use the <meta> tag to disable zoom in and out on a mobile web page.
In Internet Explorer, on the View menu, point to Zoom, and then select a different level. If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the Ctrl key, and then scroll the wheel to zoom in or out. If you click the Change Zoom Level ( ) button, it cycles through 100%, 125%, and 150%.
The other popular solution is to disable zooming on the page entirely by setting user-scalable=0 within the viewport meta tag.
Arrrgh, so as soon as I asked the question, I found a solution:
Adding:
html
{
-ms-content-zooming: none; /* Disables zooming */
touch-action: none; /* Disable any special actions on tap/touch */
}
to the CSS for the application page appears to properly block pinch-zoom in IE, and disable any of the special actions triggered by tapping/double-tapping.
