Disable all page-zooming in IE11 on Windows8-Arm

css, html, internet-explorer, tablet

Solution

Arrrgh, so as soon as I asked the question, I found a solution:

Adding:

html
{
    -ms-content-zooming: none; /* Disables zooming */
    touch-action: none;   /* Disable any special actions on tap/touch */
}

to the CSS for the application page appears to properly block pinch-zoom in IE, and disable any of the special actions triggered by tapping/double-tapping.

Problem

How can I disable ALL viewport zooming for a webpage accessed via IE11 on WinRT? I'm working on an application that does it's own drawing on a canvas sized to fit the viewport, and provides it's own zoom functionality internally. Having the browser zoom then makes a mess of the canvas. I've been going through existing answers, and none of them seem to work for this plaform: `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0"/>` or `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;">` or `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1" />` or `<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no" />` or `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />` In the `<header>` all have no effect. Additionally, I'd like to block double-tap-zooming, but the various jQuery snippets I've seen don't seem to work here either.
