[support] Problems with iPad

[Jamie Holly]

Try adding this in the head:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, 
maximum-scale=1">

You can look here, which is a Drupal site I just converted to responsive:

http://crooksandliars.com/

It's still on D6, but can give you an idea on how to make things scale 
down to different sizes. I do have some media query magic going on in 
there, but outside of the width over 940px, there really isn't anything 
specific to the overall page, just changing the order of some things and 
that.
