Understanding viewports
In HTML, the viewport is essentially the visible area of a web page within a browser window. It determines how much content is visible and how it is scaled or sized to fit the screen. The viewport meta tag in HTML allows web developers to control the layout and scaling behavior of a web page on different devices and screen sizes.
Without specifying a viewport meta tag, mobile browsers typically render pages at a default desktop viewport width, which can lead to issues such as content appearing too small or requiring horizontal scrolling. The viewport meta tag is placed inside the <head> tag in HTML files:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>Document</title> </head> <body> </body> </html...
