Diagnoses

Here is how rule engines diagnose the meta bans zoom issue for HTML element 32 of the Partners in Health page.

1. Zooming and scaling must not be disabled; maximum-scale on <meta> tag disables zooming on mobile devices

   Rule engine: Axe (Deque)

   Rule: meta-viewport

2. The viewport must let users zoom to at least 200%

   Rule engine: Pour (David Yarham and Geoffrey Crofte)

   Rule: meta-viewport

3. [failed] The `meta` element with a `name='viewport'` attribute abolishes the user agent ability to zoom with user-scalable=no or maximum-scale < 2.

   Rule engine: QualWeb (University of Lisbon)

   Rule: QW-ACT-R14

4. This viewport meta tag restricts the user's ability to zoom (maximum-scale=1).

   Rule engine: SureA11y (Jorge Rumoroso)

   Rule: meta-viewport-zoom-enabled
