Menu
When I view the following html file with Safari in an iphone, it does not display the entire width of the content as it's supposed to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>iOS Viewport Test</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style type="text/css">
body #wrap {
width: 1008px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
h1 {
font:30px sans-serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<h1>Here's some quite eloooongated text that should make the screen at least 1008px wide or more</h1>
</div><!-- end #wrap -->
</body>
</html>
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? For what it's worth, I have iOS 6.1 and Safari 6.0

The initial-scale=1.0 part sets the initial zoom level when the page is first loaded by the browser. Here is an example of a web page without the viewport meta tag, and the same web page with the viewport meta tag: Without the viewport meta tag.
To disable pinch-zoom in HTML, simply add <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> to the <head> section.
Default Viewport Settings The default width is 980 pixels.
Solution: Make sure the layer has not been turned off or frozen: In the Layer Properties Manager, make sure the layer that contains the viewport geometry is not turned off or frozen. Go to the layout tab that contains the problem viewport.
Even though I read apple's various viewport guidelines very carefully, apparently I misunderstood. If a site is non-responsive, like mine, the correct meta in this case is
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1008"/>
This makes the viewport fit the content in both portrait & landscape orientation. There's a discussion of this approach here: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/viewport-meta-tag-for-non-responsive-design

I was googling to see if anyone else had encountered this issue as well. Thought I'd share my results.
My non-responsive site is about 1200px wide, and I wanted it to show the whole site's width while in portrait mode. Setting the scale to 0 also seems to work on what I've tested:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=0"/>
