Question

Pinch and Zoom not working (First post, please help!)

Hi all. I'm very much a beginner so would appreciate help with getting pinch and zoom functionality working on the mobile version of my site. I'm using the below line in the HTML but nothing seems to allow the "user-scalable" when browsing through mobile device view. Is there anything I may be missing that may be stopping it from working. It works on my Chrome browser with some websites so I know it isn't just the device blocking it.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=2.0, user-scalable=1">

    Replace that meta tag with this...

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

      Hi Jon. Unfortunately that's still not working for me. Am I doing something incredibly stupid? Is there anything in CSS which might possibly cause this?

      <head>

      <meta charset="utf-8">

      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

      <title>Home</title>

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css">

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/slicknav.css">

      </head>

      Of course we can't see your CSS since it's on your computer.

      Check your code for errors & fix any reported ones.

      If you want more help, please upload your work so far to a TEST folder on your remote site and post the URL.
