controlling the display size of content inside an iframe












0














I am having an issue finding an answer to this on Google so I thought I would give this a shot. I am building a page on my site that includes a theme editor that displays a preview of what you are building in an iframe. I control both the main site and the iframe so edits to either are accessible.



The problem I am having is I want to give the user the option to view the desktop, tablet and phone views but when I resize the iframe the site also adjusts as it (as it should) has



<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">



inserted in the head of the the theme. What I am looking for is a way to show the desktop view, possibly a larger desktop, when using the builder on a smaller laptop or tablet so the width of the users screen is smaller than what the desktop view would be. Do I need to update the viewport tag when the device view is changed or is there something I am missing here?



Thanks!
