How to word wrap text when I pinch and zoom on web pages

Deal folks


Good day

Of late I am doing a lot of reading of web pages on my ipad 2 ( upgraded to latest iOS and all legal no jail break ). Most reading on safari . Open to using any standard browser

When the original pages fit the ipad screen size , they generally do NOT fit the screen when i pinch and zoom ( I zoom to help my aging eye !!! ). Some pages fit the screen but most do not

And on some of the pages the reader does NOT seem to work and that's where the pinch and zoom becomes critical and that's where the word wrap doesn't work

How do I word wrap to fit the ipad screen after a oinch and zoom or how to I read the whole page without scrolling left and right for every line when I have zoomed the text on the browser

It gets quite annoying to scroll every line left and write and read a web page when zoomed

Any help any tips / alternative apps or work arounds would most appreciated

Basic idea ....get reader on every web page or get a word wrap when I pinch and zoom on a web page




Thanks In advance


Best regards

Unfortunately, on the ipad, there's no way to word wrap text when you zoom in Safari.

What I've been using is to increase font size. Here's how:

I understand that some of the alternative browsers you can buy from the App Store allows you to set default font size. It's also possible that some of them has a word wrap function, but if so, I've never heard it mentioned.

I also use bookmarklets from Readability and Instapaper -- they sometimes work when Reader doesn't. But sometimes they don't work and Reader does.

I tried this , created two book marks, cleared the URL , cooied the java script , save , etc etc ... but neither the plus nor the minus bookmark does anything to the font size on safari iOS ipad !!!

So I've done something wrong , but can't figure out what !!

If you see the link http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/05/13/font-size-bookmarks/ and comments below that link many there say it isn't working for them

So, what are *we* ...I.e the guys who don't get it missing ?

I have no idea why it isn't working for you, the following codes work for me.

Font-

Code:

javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));}else{var s=12;}s-=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px"}

Font+

Code:

javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));}else{var s=12;}s+=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px"}

Oh, when copying and pasting the code, did you make sure to scroll all the way to the beginning of the code and check that it begins with "javascript"? Sometimes spaces and other garbage gets in there when copying nd pasting.
