Question

In my app I load some webpages in a 480*320(landscape) UIWebView. But the text is too large, well really the whole content of the page is too big.

Is there some trick that you can do to scale down the whole page in the web view so that it does not seem completely out of proportion to the rest of the app?

I’m guessing there is not and that the only way is to get the HTML of the whole page and look for Font tags and change them all to something smaller and then loading it into a UIWebView.

Thanks for any suggestions or ideas you can offer,

The UIWebView property scalesPagesToFit should work:

myYebView.scalesPagesToFit = YES;

From the UIWebView documentation:

You can also use the scalesPageToFit property to programmatically set the scale of web content the first time it is displayed in a web view. Thereafter, the user can change the scale using gestures.
