Menu
I am using JQuery Mobile and I am having trouble with the scaling from my browser to my iPhone.
When I load it on a browser (safari) it shrinks and expands just fine. However when I load it on my iPhone it doesn't scale. It allows you to scroll left and right when it shouldn't.
Is there something I am supposed to add to make it scale down on recognize that it's a mobile device.
Here is my current html.
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.domain.com/css/jquery.mobile-1.0b1.min.css" />

I had problems with the iPhone viewport and JQuery-Mobile as well, I ended up with the following solution.
<meta name="viewport" content="height=device-height,width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0" >
//check the navigator.userAgent string to detect if the user is using an iPhone
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) {
//cache the viewport tag if the user is using an iPhone
var $viewport = $('head').children('meta[name="viewport"]');
//bind an event handler to the window object for the orientationchange event
$(window).bind('orientationchange', function() {
if (window.orientation == 90 || window.orientation == -90 || window.orientation == 270) {
//landscape
$viewport.attr('content', 'height=device-width,width=device-height,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0');
} else {
//portrait
$viewport.attr('content', 'height=device-height,width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0');
}
//trigger an orientationchange event on the window object to initialize this code (basically in-case the user opens the page in landscape mode)
}).trigger('orientationchange');
}
The if/then statement in the event handler checks for which orientation the user has changed to (90, -90, and 270 are all values I've seen for landscape) and the $viewport.attr('content',... lines just switch the height and width values in the viewport tag.

In Jquery Mobile 1.1.0, the above answer only seems to work in portrait orientation for me. I searched around and found this version of the meta tag, which (in my case) worked in both orientations, without need for any javascript:
<meta content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" name="viewport">
(Specifies device width, but not the height.)
