I’m creating a website with WordPress and I’ve integrated an ‘Airtable’ feature. Here’s the code I used:
<iframe style="background: transparent; border: 1px solid #ccc;" src="https://airtable.com/embed/shr4DVQq5GWJEG4xV?backgroundColor=gray&layout=card&viewControls=on" width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0"></iframe>
This code performs well on desktop, but many essential features are missing when viewed on mobile. I urgently need a solution to prevent the mobile view for users accessing the site via their smartphones. Any assistance would be highly valued!
From my experience, a practical solution is to utilize CSS media queries to style the iframe content specifically for mobile. You can override the mobile styles applied by Airtable by injecting your CSS. Another approach is to set the width parameter in the iframe’s URL to a fixed pixel value instead of a percentage, which tricks the mobile device into loading the desktop view. However, be cautious with this method, as it might compromise the responsiveness of other elements on your site.
One alternative you might want to try involves utilizing viewport meta tags, which allow you to control the layout on mobile devices. Sometimes it comes down to how the whole page is set up rather than just the iframe itself. By specifying width=device-width, initial-scale=1 in your meta tag, you might be able to influence the way content is displayed on mobile screens and improve the visibility of features. Additionally, you can explore JavaScript to detect screen size and redirect users to the desktop version of Airtable or adjust your site’s layout accordingly.
try exploring user agents - some servers provide different content based on device type. With JavaScript, you might be able to “fool” the server by modifying the user agent string to a desktop one. Although not guaranteed, it worked for a few sites in my case. just test n see!
