title: Automatically force mobile browser to desktop view
body: <p>Having completed a lot of work on a project that uses Paypal IPN to initiate payments, I've found that this is successful on a desktop browser, but fails completely 100% on mobile (on Chrome, at least).</p>
  
  <p>After some research, I've found that this is due to the mobile browser using the GET method for returning Paypal data, as opposed to the desktop using POST.</p>
  
  <p>If I click on 'Request Desktop View' on the mobile browser then this will allow the process to complete properly, but this is obviously not great fun for the end-user.</p>
  
  <p>So, as I've come to a bit of a dead end with this (I've actually been advised it's a Paypal issue that there's no control over - not sure if true or not), is there a way to automatically force the desktop view on a mobile browser as a last resort?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried to change the viewport width (<code>&lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=1024"&gt;</code>
  ), but all this does is widen the mobile browser view.  It doesn't actually give the proper desktop view as you would get by clicking on 'Request Desktop View' manually.</p>
  
  <p>Would anyone know if there's a way to force to desktop view via HTML or JS, please?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,<br>
  Dan.</p>
