I am developing a web page for iPhones and iPod Touch's. I am using the Universal iPhone UI framework. I need to have silding page transitions, but can't seem to get it working. Is there a good javascript framework I could use that would make this easier? I've done a lot of normal web dev with jquery, but it doesn't seem to like the iPhone.
Try http://code.google.com/p/iui/
It's a nice little JS framework, among other things, that will help you with the transition aspect. Have a flick through the documentation too, as it'll give you quite a few additional options as well.
Regardless of what framework you're using, the WebKit CSS trasitions are extensions of CSS and were developed with the iPhone and iPhone web-based apps in mind. You can do some very clever, complex animations with no JavaScript and only a few lines of CSS.
Here's what Google finds on the subject.
Apple's Dashcode IDE has an extensive set of page transition templates for the iPhone. You should be able to fire up a quick project, get the look you want, then export the resulting HTML/CSS/Javascript into your favorite IDE.
The only catch is that it's OSX only.
I'm developing iphone web app recently too. thanks for the information & reference too. :)
I've been deep into an iPhone web app project lately. We evaluated iUI, but decided against it for various reasons. Consequently, I've developed most of the same functionality from scratch. While I can't share the code from the actual product (as I'm under NDA), I have been documenting many of the techniques I've used to do certain things. Check out the links below:
