Adaptive layoutsRANDOM THOUGHTS ON MAKING YOUR SITE CROSS-DEVICE FRIENDLYPatrick H. Lauke / standards>next / London / 28 May 2011

we need a site that works on mobile

we need a site that works on iPhone

...works on iPhone... oh, and iPad

“remove iPhone from ass” Peter-Paul Koch, The iPhone obsession www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/02/the_iphone_obse.html

make your site work on all (most) mobile devices

what exactly is a“mobile device”?

“not a magic bullet...”

viewport meta

physical vs virtual pixels

mobile devices lie(to better serve the user)

viewport metasuggests sizing to mobile browser

viewport meta<meta name="viewport" content="width=320">http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/UsingtheViewport/UsingtheViewport.html

Viewport propertieswidth initial-scaleheight minimum-scaleuser-scalable maximum-scale

maximum-scale=1.0 breaks zooming!

if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) ||navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i)) { var viewportmeta =document.querySelector(meta[name="viewport"]); if (viewportmeta) { viewportmeta.content = width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0; document.body.addEventListener(gesturestart,function() { viewportmeta.content = width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.25, maximum-scale=1.6; }, false); }}adactio.com/journal/4470

device-width to the rescue?

in Mobile Safari only: device-width always same (portrait/landscape) … WTF?

high-dpi devices lieabout device-width

480px / 160% = 300px
