What changed? iPad display messed up.

It was fine this morning; now everything is tiny. I can zoom in, but have to do so on every page. Something in a .css, maybe?

I've had this before. Leave Safari, give it a minute rest, go back in and restart the page using your bookmark. That usually takes care of it.

It does seem ok now. Tis most wondrous strange.

Mine has been fine all night. Sometimes these things just come and go with minds of their own.

Ether bugs. Sounds like this one may be on Apple.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

 

iOS devices aggressively cache stylesheets. Which is good most of the time because it means pages reload faster and sites are generally snappier.

 

The problem arises when an iOS device doesn't fully load a stylesheet or the server hiccups and fails to deliver a file correctly. That's when you'll see stuff like this arise.

 

If you see it happen, you can clear your Safari cache and that should resolve the problem... But in reality, Safari should have a "force reload" option that reloads everything on the page without cache. I've wanted to see this feature since the first iPhone but Apple doesn't offer it for some reason.
