<h2 class="no-num no-toc">Abstract</h2>
<p>This specification provides a way for an author to
specify, in CSS, the size, zoom factor, and orientation of the viewport
that is used as the base for the initial containing block.</p>

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p><em>This section is not normative.</em></p>
<p>CSS 2.1 [[!CSS21]] specifies an
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#containing-block-details">
initial containing block</a> for continuous media that has the dimensions
of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#viewport">
viewport</a>. Mobile/handheld device browsers have a viewport that is
generally a lot narrower than a desktop browser window at a zoom level
that gives a CSS pixel size
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#pixel-units">recommended
</a> by CSS 2.1.</p>
<p>The narrow viewport is a problem for documents designed to look good in
desktop browsers. The result is that mobile browser vendors use a fixed
initial containing block size that is different from the viewport size,
and close to that of a typical desktop browser window. In addition to
scrolling or panning, zooming is often used to change between an overview
of the document and zoom in on particular areas of the document to read
and interact with.</p>
<p>Certain DOCTYPEs (for instance XHTML Mobile Profile) are used to recognize
mobile documents which are assumed to be designed for handheld devices,
hence using the viewport size as the initial containing block size.</p>
<p>Additionally, an HTML <code class="html">META</code> tag has been introduced for allowing an
author to specify the size of the initial containing block, and the initial
zoom factor directly. It was first implemented by Apple for the Safari/iPhone
browser, but has since been implemented for the Opera, Android, and Fennec
browsers. These implementations are not fully interoperable and this
specification is an attempt at standardizing the functionality provided by
the viewport <code class="html">META</code> tag in CSS.</p>
<h2>Values</h2>
<p>This specification follows the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-syntax/#property-defs">CSS property
definition conventions</a> from [[!CSS3SYN]].</p>
<p>Value types are defined in [[!CSS3VAL]].</p>
<h2>The viewport</h2>
<p>This specification introduces a way of overriding the size of the viewport
provided by the user agent (UA). Because of this, we need to introduce the
difference between the <span>initial viewport</span> and the
<span>actual viewport</span>.</p>
<dl>
<dt><dfn>initial viewport</dfn></dt>
<dd>This refers to the viewport before any UA or author styles have
overridden the viewport given by the window or viewing area of the UA.
Note that the initial viewport size will change with the size of the
window or viewing area.</dd>
<dt><dfn>actual viewport</dfn></dt>
<dd>This is the viewport you get after the cascaded viewport properties, and the
following <a href="#constraining-procedure">constraining procedure</a>
have been applied.</dd>
</dl>
<p>When the <span>actual viewport</span> cannot fit inside the window or
viewing area, either because the <span>actual viewport</span> is larger
than the <span>initial viewport</span> or the zoom factor causes only parts
of the <span>actual viewport</span> to be visible, the UA should offer a
scrolling or panning mechanism.</p>
<p>It is recommended that initially the upper-left corners of the <span>
actual viewport<span> and the window or viewing area are aligned if the
base direction of the document is ltr. Similarly, that the upper-right
corners are aligned when the base direction is rtl. The base direction for
a document is defined as the computed value of the
<code class="property">direction</code> property for the first
<code class="html">BODY</code> element of an HTML or XHTML document. For
other document types, it is the computed
<code class="property">direction</code> for the root element.</p>
<h2>The <code class="css">@viewport</code> rule</h2>
<p>The <code class="css">@viewport</code> <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#at-rules">at-rule</a>
consists of the @-keyword followed by a block of property
declarations describing the viewport.</p>
<p>The property declarations inside an <code class="css">@viewport</code>
rule are per document properties and there is no inheritance involved. Hence
declarations using the ‘<code class="css">inherit</code>’
keyword will be dropped. They work similar to <code class="css">@page</code>
properties and follow the cascading order of CSS. Hence, properties in
<code class="css">@viewport</code> rules will override properties from
preceding rules. The declarations allow !important which will affect
cascading of properties accordingly.
</p>
<p class="issue">Should the @viewport rule apply to top-level documents only?
If not, we need to say something about different zoom factors in frames.</p>
<div class="example">
<p>This example sets the viewport to fit the width of the device. Note
that it is enough to set the width as the height will be resolved from
the width.</p>
<pre><!--
-->@viewport {
<!-- --> width: device-width;
<!-- -->}<!--
--></pre>
</div>
<h3>Syntax</h3>
<p>The syntax for the <code class="css">@viewport</code> rule is as follows
(using the notation from the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/grammar.html">Grammar appendix</a> of CSS
2.1 [[!CSS21]]):</p>
<pre><!--
-->viewport
<!----> : VIEWPORT_SYM S*
<!----> '{' S* declaration? [ ';' S* declaration? ]* '}' S*<!--
-->;</pre>
<p>with the new token:</p>
<pre>@{V}{I}{E}{W}{P}{O}{R}{T} {return VIEWPORT_SYM;}</pre>
<p>
where:
</p>
<pre>V v|\\0{0,4}(56|76)(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\v
<!------>W w|\\0{0,4}(57|77)(\r\n|[ \t\r\n\f])?|\\w</pre>
<p>The <code>viewport</code> non-terminal is added to the <code>stylesheet</code>
production along with the <code>ruleset</code>, <code>media</code>, and
<code>page</code> non-terminals:</p>

<p>The UA relates the CSS pixel to the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#x40">reference pixel</a>
or the physical
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#length-units">length units</a>
as described in CSS 2.1 [[!CSS21]]. The resolution property can be used to
override the CSS pixel size chosen by the UA by setting a CSS pixel
resolution. In CSS, absolute length units are fixed in relation to each
other, hence, changing the CSS pixel resolution will for instance change
the physical length of a CSS cm.</p>
<p>The relationship between a device pixel and a CSS pixel will depend on
the device resolution. Setting <code>resolution: 120dpi</code> on a 240dpi
device will give a 2:1 ratio between device and CSS pixels, while on a
120dpi device, the ratio will be 1:1. Likewise, the
‘<code class="css">device</code>’ value will always keep a
1:1 ratio, but will give different CSS pixel resolution depending on
device resolution.</p>
