Touch screen devices require selectable content to be finger sized. Hyperlinks and Buttons which are perfectly readable are not easy to touch on most smart phones. Pinch and Zoom is a design compromise to be avoided.

Other input methods work well with smaller selectable content. These input methods are typically associated with smaller screen devices where the priority is to fit more content into a small space.

All 51Degrees.mobi controls that are selectable support the AutoSize attribute. AutoSize ensures content is sized appropriately for the devices screen size and input method, whether it's fingers, joysticks, track balls or scrollers.

The following code would be used to define a HyperLink that is automatically sized appropriately for the requesting device.

ASP.NET

<mob:HyperLink ID="HyperLinkSimple" runat="server" Text="HyperLink" NavigateUrl="~/Simple.aspx" AutoSize="true" />
