Viewport - how to get page to size

[Mike]

I have a simple two column page that, when loaded a mobile device, goes to the upper left of the content and present half of a page.

I would like the page to span the width of the mobile device.

Suggestions?

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>

doesn't work. I've tried variations of that. Still focuses on the upper left.

This is definitely the right syntax for the viewport arguments, do you have a demo? something else might be conflicting with it.

Chances are there is a div that isn't fluid. With these types of items, I try to use percentages or em, depending on the size required.

Is this device specific? I've had issues with Android devices before.
