Responsive Web Design (RWD) Viewport

Understanding the Viewport:

The viewport is the user's visible area of a web page. It varies with the device, being smaller on a mobile phone than on a computer screen.

Importance of Viewport in RWD:

Setting the correct viewport is crucial for ensuring that your web design is responsive and looks good on all devices.

Viewport Meta Tag:

The viewport meta tag allows you to control the layout on mobile browsers by setting the width and scale of the viewport.

Example Meta Tag:

Below is an example of a viewport meta tag that sets the width to the device's width and initial scale to 1.0.

Best Practices:

Always include a viewport meta tag in your HTML to ensure your design is responsive. Avoid using fixed-width layouts.

Common Mistakes:

A common mistake is not setting the viewport, leading to websites that do not scale correctly on mobile devices.
