How To Prevent (bootstrap) Fixed Top Navigation From Zooming On Mobile

When using the fixed top navigation of bootstrap 3, I noticed that when users use the native zoom on mobile, the top navigation also becomes very large. This leads to a pretty poor

Solution 1:

Keeping Bootstrap's navbar-top-fixed from zooming on mobiles

The final result: using css transform to keep fixed top header at constant size after zoom

On mobile devices only, is possible to calculate the zoom factor as the ratio of window.innerWidth and the screen width, as shown in [2]. When the user toggles zoom, the resize event is triggered; moreover, when a page is reloaded that was previously zoomed, the zoom factor is maintained. Thus, one use jQuery to dynamically update CSS transforms that keep the header in shape. Note that, with position: fixed, a transformation of the origin is also required. Applying class device-fixed-height to the bootstrap nav and device-fixed-width to brand logo and hamburger icon then produce very close to the desired result.

  • Bug: As the page is zoomed, the hamburger icons still moves a bit to the left. Any suggestions how to fix it are appreciated!
  • Tested on: Android 4.4

Solution 2:

The problem that you're seeing is because of the interaction between the header on the content div. The header is overlapping the content panel so when you zoom the header gets bigger and overlaps more content. If you separate the nav from the content it will probably solve your problem. The baseline bootstrap nav should be setup that way where the nave is above the main content container.

Remove the fixed position from the nav. Delete this:

position:fixed;

Remove the margin on the bottom of the nav:

margin-bottom: 27px;

Now your nav and content don't overlap and things zoom in a cleaner fashion. You also may want to add the img-responsive class to your logo which will help it scale correctly so it doesn't overlap the menu button on mobile.
