I am trying to display images on the pinned site tile for my website but for some reason it just keeps displaying the favicon.
If I uncomment out the meta tags for the Windows 8.1 pinned site tiles, then the Windows 8 pinned site tile meta tag works but if I don't uncomment it, both do not work.
Here is my code:
<#-- Pinning site to Windows start page. -->
<meta name="application-name" content=""/>
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#ffffff"/>
<meta name=msapplication-starturl content="my_url">
<#-- Windows 8. -->
<meta name=msapplication-TileImage content="/images/ms-pinned-site.png">
<#-- Windows 8.1. -->
<meta name="msapplication-square150x150logo" content="/images/ms-pinned-square.png">
<meta name="msapplication-wide310x150logo" content="/images/ms-pinned-wide.png">
<meta name="msapplication-square310x310logo" content="/images/ms-pinned-large.png">
The sizes for the images are as follows:
Square: 150x150: image size: 149x157
Wide: 310x150: image size: 507x240
Large: 310x310: image size: 443x426
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I'm using the following classes to fix a header: navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top
This works perfectly on my PC:
But when checking it on iPhone or iPad, the header is only partially shown:
I'm using Bootstrap v3.3.6. Has anybody had this problem and were you able to fix it?
Have you tried resizing the browser on the pc to see where it goes wrong. If the layout is different there then on mobile you might need to add a meta tag.
Try adding this into your header:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no">
I tried this using browserstack and it looks fine to me. Maybe it's a particular version of Safari Mobile browser not working or something cached on your phone?
I would like to prepare my site for windows 8 pinning and have been reading some documentation on how to add the various images and could figure out that it could be done by using metadata and according to instructions and help on this site I could actually build the following meta tags but i couldn't figure out where I can call the browserdetect.xml file assuming I have the file located at mysitee.com/upload/win8/browserdetetct.xml and the images in the same folder
<meta name="application-name" content="MySite"/>
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#2d90c6"/>
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#2d90c6"/>
<meta name="msapplication-square70x70logo" content="http://placehold.it/70x70/000000/ffffff&text=MySite"/>
<meta name="msapplication-square150x150logo" content="http://placehold.it/150x150/000000/ffffff&text=MySite"/>
<meta name="msapplication-wide310x150logo" content="http://placehold.it/310x150/000000/ffffff&text=MySite"/>
<meta name="msapplication-square310x310logo" content="http://placehold.it/310x310/000000/ffffff&text=MySite"/>
Any help please ?
Update: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile now only uses /browserconfig.xml, so stop including meta tags.
I see that Microsoft has — a bit prematurley — updated their wizard to Windows 8.1. Which is not backwards compatible with Windows 8.
What you need (in addition to my comments in the other post) is the older code with a 144x144 px image:
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/tileimage-144.png" />
That will work in Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 in conjunction with the two backwards compatible tags you already have:
<meta name="application-name" content="MySite" />
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#2d90c6" />
Note that you should not use application-name unless your site is actually a web application. (Per the HTML5 specs.)
You can test the Windows 8.1 (Internet Explore 11, actually) stuff in a virtual machine. Microsoft is handing them out for free over at http://www.modern.ie/en-US/virtualization-tools#downloads
Further enhancements: Internet Explore 11 does not actually need the tags to be present in the document. so you can save users who do not intend to pin your site the bandwidth (thus gaining performance) by including a browserconfig.xml in your root (eg. example.com/browserconfig.xml). IE 11 will read this file when a user tries to pin a site and load the resources needed from there instead of from the meta tags. So what you do is include the two/three tags IE 10 needs, and put the new IE 11 tags in your browser config file. Read up on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh772707%28v=vs.85%29.aspx (ignore the bits where it tells you to include a meta tag to load the config file. As long as the file name is browserconfig.xml and it is on your root, it will automagically work.)
Making it all darn perfect: Windows 8 requires no padding in their image, only a transparent background. Windows 8.1, however, expect ⅕ of the tile images to be left transparent for padding. You will stick out like a sore thumb amongst the other applications if you do not pay attention to the padding.
Live example: I implemented this on my own site over at Slight Future if you want an working (as of the Windows 8.1 Preview 1) example.
Final thoughts: Why Microsoft have to introduce something new for every single version of Internet Explorer / Windows, I can’t understand. Nothing is backwards compatible. For IE 9 / 10 and pinned sites on the Windows 7 / 8 desktop taskbar, you need a favicon in four different sizes.

So I created a video using ScreenFlow on a Mac. Then exported it. It created an m4v file. Then I changed the extension to mp4 and tried it out in the following web page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=620">
<title>Fooo</title>
<script src="http://api.html5media.info/1.1.5/html5media.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<video src="Demo.mp4" width="320" height="200" controls preload></video>
</body>
</html>
It does not play. If I move the pointer where the player is it will show the frame at where the pointer is. So all the frames are there but it will just not play the video. What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?
Following #heff's advice, I deleted the script line. Once it was deleted I get this error message: "Video format or MIME type is not supported."
How do I fix this?
.mp4 == .m4v Different extensions for the same container format. Though .mp4 technically is also equal to .m4a, but .m4v != .m4a. At least I'm pretty sure. :)
Sounds like an issue with your javascript library. Have you tried just using the video tag in a browser that supports HTML5 video, with no library? Just delete the script line and see what happens.
Otherwise try posting a link to the live page where we can check it out.
I don't know if you already solved this, but you should go see the information on this webpage: Video for Everyone!. Specifically, go see the first point of section 2.1 where the author explains that your server must use the correct mime-types, and section 3, where the author explains what codecs you should use (because not every web-browser can read .m4v files).
I've developed a mobile website based on jQuery Mobile. Everything works on my own Windows Mobile device with Opera Mobile 10, but a customer of mine always sees the page magnified.
I thought that he might have a zoom setting >100% in Opera Mobile, but he claims that this is definitely not the case.
The same problem also occurs on the jQuery Mobile test site ( http://jquerymobile.com/test/ ) . Here's a screenshot of the site as displayed on my customer's device:
Any idea what might be going wrong here? I was unable to reproduce this problem on my own device or in an emulator.
My customer's device is a HTC HD2 runing Windows Mobile 6.5 and Opera 10.
Thanks,
Adrian
I'll just paste the answer by David Storey which was made for this on Opera Dev forums. It is not specifically about the 100% issue, but there might be similar issues related to the viewport tag issue, for people getting across it.
Opera Mobile assumes that any document
with a mobile specific doctype, such
as XHTML Mobile Profile or XHTML Basic
are designed and optimised for mobile,
while documents with a regular doctype
are not optimised for mobile
generally. Thus if there is a desktop
doctype the overview mode is enabled,
which you can control with the
viewport meta element. If there is a
mobile doctype the overview mode is
disabled and a regular 1:1 viewport is
used.
There were some bugs in the viewport
meta element support in Opera Mobile.
They should be fixed in the latest
version.
Did you try adjusting the scale?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0">
You should use xhtml mobile doctype
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
Try adding <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">. Opera seems to behave better when it's there.
If that doesn't work, please file a bug report https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/.
I'm trying to follow the custom module tutorial at http://dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-3-programmatic-dijit-and-dojo/modules-and-namespaces/creating-your-own-modul
I've got a local deployment of dojo at http://localhost:8081/dojo-1.3.2/dojo/dojo.js
For my custom module I've created the following javascript file at http://localhost:8081/dojo-1.3.2/explosive/space/Modulator.js:
dojo.provide("explosive.space.Modulator");
dojo.declare("explosive.space.Modulator",null,{
bob:1
});
In my html page I have the following:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:8081/dojo-1.3.2/dojo/dojo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
dojo.require("explosive.space.Modulator");
</script>
And when I pull up my site in firefox I get the error:
Error: Could not load
'explosive.space.Modulator'; last
tried
'../explosive/space/Modulator.js'
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: After more testing it appears the code works on IE8 and IE8 compatibility mode but not in Firefox, Chrome, or Opera.
EDIT2: My html file was on a different domain but I didn't think that should make any difference. After reading Seth's comment (thanks Seth!) I tried it both ways.
I have two tomcat instances, one on port 8080 and one on port 8081. I've placed index.htm in both instances and started them both up.
http://localhost:8081/test/index.htm works in both FF and IE. http://localhost:8080/test/index.htm does not work as expected in FF, but does work in IE.
Show XmlHTTPRequests shows that FF is making a call to "GET http://localhost:8081/dojo-1.3.2/explosive/space/Modulator.js" which is coming back with an empty response for some reason.
Here's the entirety of my code for index.htm if it's any help.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

function init(){
var eludiumFuel36 = new explosive.space.Modulator();
alert(eludiumFuel36.bob);
}
dojo.addOnLoad(init);
</script>

<body class="tundra">

It looks ok from what you have here. When you bring up the page, are you going to http://localhost:8081/testpage.html (or somesuch)? Or are you going to a different domain?
Do you have firebug installed? If not, install it and turn on 'Show XMLHttpRequests'. That will show what URL it's trying to access in the console (and any other possibly relevant errors).
Otherwise, there might be something else on the page outside of what you posted messing with dojo's load path.
Edit
When dojo does an dojo.require, it does a XHR call for the file. The includes the host and port in it. So, it's violating cross domain security when the html page is on localhost:8081 but the javascript is on localhost:8080. You can get around this by using a cross-domain build version of the file (or make sure all requests come on the same port and host). Truth be told, I'm not quite sure why IE works with the different ports though.
