When I run an application created with EWB, I cannot zoom it in a browser on a tablet e.g.

How can I achieve  that?

Thanks Uli

The culprit seems to be the generated html-file header:

<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">


It does what it is said to do.
Hand-editing after "compiling" may work, until elevate sw makes this customizable per project.

Because I handled resolution issues by code, I actually had to remove the viewport completely in an automated way, to keep my code working properly, using this tiny python script:


fil = open("index.html", "rb")
cont = fil.read()
fil.close()
splitcont = cont.split('<meta name="viewport"')
part2 = splitcont[1].split('maximum-scale=1">')[1]
fil = open("index_noViewport.html", "wb")
fil.write(splitcont[0] + part2)
fil.close()

You can't, at least not right now.  I'm going to have to add a project
option for that.

That would be fine, since using tablets is getting more and more popular.

Yes, I know - that's why I specifically added that tag to the output.  It
was mentioned in the release notes.
