Mobile Forms are Small

I have a mobile version of a webpage. All it has is a single form w/ two text boxes and one submit button.

But on the mobile browser, the form is tiny until you zoom in on it. How do you make a form look normal by default on a mobile browser?

With the meta viewport, I use the following:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" />

This way, there is no restriction on the width, so it can adjust accordingly whether the user is using a mobile phone or an iPad (or other tablet device). I would only recommend using the user-scale=no if you are building a site specifically for mobile.

Is your Doctype mobile? Try using

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">

so that phone's browser would know that page is designed for mobile phones

You will need to add the viewport meta tag to the HTML header. This will tell the browser that your page is suppose to be rendered into a certain aspect. e.g.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=240,user-scalable=no" />
