For iOS 9 we have made a small but important update to fix fullscreen galleries rendering at the wrong size. JuiceboxBuilder now adds a viewport tag to the HTML page generated when building a new gallery. The viewport tag looks like this:

<meta name="viewport" id="jb-viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0"/>

If you are having issues with galleries appearing at the wrong size on iOS 9, please check you have the tag above placed in the HTML page’s head tag as seen in the source code of this page:

Each release of iOS comes with changes to Safari’s browser behavior which usually requires an update to Juicebox. In iOS 9, viewport tags added via JavaScript are no longer respected, meaning we have to add the viewport tag in the HTML code. The viewport tag is crucial to how mobile devices render web pages. It defines the size of the page as it should appear on smaller screens.

We recently updated Juicebox to version 1.4.4. Caption backgrounds now default to a smooth transparent gradient which integrates text seamlessly into the image. Juicebox’s built-in SEO has been improved by copying image titles into image alt tags. We also fixed multiple issues related to updates in various browsers and mobile OSes.
