I can't zoom in on facebook pages on iPad. Help?

[Becky]

I can zoom in on other sites, just not on facebook. I called apple and they couldn't help, but are looking into it. Anyone know what's going on?

I know exactly what is causing it.

In Safari on the Mac, enable the developer menu. change your user agent to iPad,

Open Facebook.com. View source. Search for user-scalable=0
that is the exact code which is causing this problem. It is instructing iPad safari to not allow zooming.

Now go back and change the user agent back to desktop safari. Reload Facebook and view the source code. The user-scalable=0 line is gone.

The only workaround is to use Atomic Browser on the iPad and change the user agent to something else like desktop Safari.

If anyone has a contact at Facebook please let them know about this immediately as is is ruining the facebook experience for iPad users.

If you are upset by Facebook's action in the regard - please speak up! You can submit your dismay to Facebook at:

If enough of us complain they will hopefully rectify this problem.
I for one do not particularly like the Facebook app (which is not designed for the iPhone and not the iPad) - I find the resolution on the iPad bothers my eyes as I read.

Neither can I since 2 days ago. from everything I've researched, facebook did this on purpose as an act of revenge against Apple... Apparently they've changed the code for f/b Safari to not allow zooming/scaling. THIS IS SO COMPLETELY UNFAIR!
