Topic: Responsive Issue?

Ollie Vincent pro asked 7 years ago

Hi, I have just discovered and started using Bootstrap, so I downloaded the free version (for now) as a test. I created a dummy site, and it all works perfectly except the responsiveness (see images below). On the mobile devices I have tested, all the content shrinks which is not what I want - I want it move smoothly into one column. I am using the code provided by Bootstrap which is: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no"> Any Ideas? Thanks This is how it looks: This is how it looks on my phone (image link) This is how it should look: This is how it should look on my phone (image link)

Hi, that's great. Best, Marta

Ollie Vincent pro answered 7 years ago

Cheers Folks, I see what the problem is now. It is what Xardonik suggested :) All I need to do now is solve it. Thanks

Marta Wierzbicka staff answered 7 years ago

On your website you don't have this tag: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no"> add this and check it it corrct now.

Ollie Vincent pro answered 7 years ago

Oh! Oops I see the tags now... This site was about 10 yrs old before I started using it again... Any idea where the tags might be? Cheers

Hmm why is your side inside these tags? http://prntscr.com/fpjvvz If I open page from frame tag everything works fine: http://s239735752.websitehome.co.uk/DadDIY/home1/

Hi, Sure - its on a old dev url that I just happened to have free... Click here for my site Knock yourself out :) Thanks

Hi, can you share us link to your page? Better is working with real code, not only head and images of your page

Ollie Vincent pro answered 7 years ago

Hi, Thanks for the code, but my site responds just like the code you provided. I was hoping to get everything moving into 1 column on mobile devices rather than everything shrinking in size - please see images in my first post. (right click and view in new tab) Thanks

Hi, compare your html code with this one below and try to find what was wrong. The code below is responsive on mobile devices: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
