engadget site no longer accepting pinch to zoom after

[youla stamatopoulos]

After engadget remodeled their site recently, the stock browser on the touchpad cannot pinch to zoom to the particular site. Works fine everywhere else.
Anybody noticed?
i have only a few patches for gestures installed

Engadget's new site design is "responsive", in that they created one template that adapts to different screen sizes on the fly. The side effect of that is that the TouchPad browser can't handle it as well as it should. I've seen this happen with several responsive site designs and webOS.

To see the responsiveness in action, open the site on a desktop browser and resize the window - the site should resize and rearrange its elements on the fly to fit the changed viewport size. It makes rolling out new features across desktop/tablet/mobile a lot easier.

Thank you for the very comprehensive response. I assume that many more sites would make a similar move in the future and unless this is brought to the attention of the "community edition" project the pinch to zoom feature on the hp touchpad would soon be unusable in the stock browser.

It's just another un-necessarily over-complicated thing someone that doesn't write code thought up.

Not to hijack or anything, but as a side note I guess. I just looked at the engadget site, and the formatting works so well on my touchpad that I don't really see a need to use the zoom, and to be honest, I'd rather not have to use zooming, I'd much rather have every site set up for my screen, so I don't see this as all that bad of a thing.
Just my 2 cents.

Sorry, nevermind what I said. I was just in a bad mood and said something stupid without thinking.
