Bug list for WD8?

**steve.ledger** · 29 April 2012, 09:35 PM

Last try:

To disable the viewport metatag, add following name to any object in the document:

NoViewportMeta

You must have the 16th April update installed for this to take affect.

Removing this meta will render the head section identical to version 7 output.

Hi Sledger. I tried your last suggestion but no joy. However, using your other suggestions I came up with the following solution :
Go to WEB PAGE PROPERTIES >Website>HTML Code Head and paste in the following
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=0.33"/>
push APPLY and then OK and then export files to your folder, then SAVE.

The initial-scale=0.33 works well for all sites up to 1000px width. Anything over that change the value of the scale to 0.3 .

If you have google analytics code in this head, just leave a line between that code and this code.

I would like to thank Sledger very much for the help given to this thread, and without his ideas and suggestions I would not have been able to work this out. Thanks again Sledger. Cheers, Abi

Are you sure you following my directions carefully to remove the viewport meta?
Because it is still present in http://billybirddesigns.com/

And adding your custom meta gives you conflicting viewports

<head>
<meta name="XAR Files" content="index_htm_files/xr_files.txt"/>
<title>index</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252"/>
<meta name="Generator" content="Xara HTML filter v.5.0.0.939"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index_htm_files/xr_main.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index_htm_files/xr_text.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="index_htm_files/roe.js"></script>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=0.33"/>

</head>

EDIT: Ah I see you are not using the most recent WD MX update.

I thought we covered this earlier.
Your filter shows an earlier version Xara HTML filter v.5.0.0.939
You must have Xara HTML filter v.5.0.0.947 for the hack to work.
Please update your MX immediately and try again.

Disable the viewport metatag, add following name to any object in the document:

NoViewportMeta

Hi Sledger. I check for updates every few days, and the last update I got was on April 16 I think. I just checked again and it is telling me the programme is up to date. I did the NoViewportMeta as instructed but the picture disappeared and the words NoViewportMeta displayed instead. So I undid all of that and then did the stuff in the HTML head under website properties and on my ios devices it is now displaying in the browser. When I view the page info on billybird I get :

index_htm_files/xr_files.txt
width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0
text/html; charset=Windows-1252
Xara HTML filter v.5.0.0.939
width=device-width, initial-scale=0.33

and I can see the viewport value at 1.0 and the one at the bottom at 0.33. However, the sites seem to be displaying on all browsers, so does one value make the other value obsolete? Should I edit this in notepad instead, as previously, and change the 1.0 value to .33 and then delete the code in the HTML head? I can see that it is showing that I do not have MX .947, but I update regularly. How come I am being told that I have the latest update whenever I do this?

Are you using Web Designer MX or Web Designer MX Premium?

**Abikadabra** · 30 April 2012, 06:35 AM

I am using Premium and it tells me that the programme is up to date. I have just seen that my code thingy only works for iphones in portrait orientation, and leaves a bit to be desired in landscape orientation. Also, on my android and ipad the index page of any site is pushed out of view into the right hand side of the browser (off the browser actually) when in landscape mode. It is only the index page. The other pages are fine. I will continue to have a play around tonight when I get home.

I do not get this on either of my Android devices as shown in my screenshots earlier, but this doesn't help you much - though it does indicate that there may be some differences with the mobile device or browser used which is causing this.
I'm not sure why you aren't getting the most recent update. I shall install MX Premium on a spare machine and test the update process again from here
