On devices that support pinch to zoom like iphones, blackberry torch, etc. when viewing a site using the default Mobile Joomla template, it's not possible to zoom in using the touchscreen as can normally be done on a Web site. My customer's site has a table on one page that has a lot of columns which overflow the side of the template unless we make the font very small. Making the font so small makes it unreadable without zooming.

Is it possible enable zooming in the default mobile joomla template? Ctrl +/- works to zoom in and out when viewing the mobile template in a desktop browser.

Thanks

Erich

In the index.php file of the mobile_iphone template, I modified:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
to be
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

This change allows the user to use the pinch zoom method to zoom out or in.

This has essentially resolved the issue although I'm still trying to find a better method for showing large amounts of data on a small screen.
