Did you switch to source mode? Android or iOS? Fred

I tried everything. iOS. I finally took the source from a pre-existing screen that I already had and it worked.

For future reference - The scaling options of an HTML page can be set in the meta tags for that page, like: <meta content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=2.0; user-scalable=1;" name="viewport" />

Hi Jake It happened to me as well. I am not a HTML guy or coder. But here is what i found. If make a new screen "html/text"screen and open the source so to see the HTML part. You will notice there are pre written scripts in there to make the page and images appear correctly. You need to make sure you don't delete them when adding new text or images. Cheers
