I am using Twitter Bootstrap on two project, one is a static HTML website

  • 0

I am using Twitter Bootstrap on two project, one is a static HTML website and other is a Rails application. When I test the website on desktop browser,resize works. But when I test it on mobile [Nokia E72], it just does not fit the width. Interesting thing is when I test the bootstrap homepage (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) – it also has same problem.. Is this only me? I searched on stackoverflow and Google and everyone else seems to pretty happy with Bootstrap on their mobiles.

I have also tested alternative framework: Foundation – which seems to work better and there is at least no horizontal scroll.

Update: This seems to be a problem on my nokia E72.

    The more popular the browser, the better it will work with bootstrap. Quoting bootstrap documentation

    Originally built with only modern browsers in mind, Bootstrap has evolved to include support for all major browsers (even IE7!) and, with Bootstrap 2, tablets and smartphones, too.

    The Nokia E72 native browser is probably not supported and not standards compliant. You could try testing with Opera Mini. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers the Nokia browser has a usage share of anywhere between 0.3% and 12% in 2011, and the trend appears to be that it’s loosing marker share. So you should really test with Safari, Opera and Android.
