Question

Answer 1

A:

I just tested on my 3G iphone and it worked fine by setting document.body.innerHTML. I did use jQuery in my test to make sure the body was loaded before running the js:

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {  
    document.body.innerHTML = 'it worked';
});
</script>

</head>
<body>
This is a test
</body>
</html>

I'm on safari 4 beta on windows, with the user agent set to IPhone.This does not work on the iPod touch I have.Also, I'm assigning an entire HTML response to the innerHTML property.

Hm, have you tried stripping off the html, head, and body tags from the HTML response before handing it off to the javascript? Maybe it doesn't like loading an html or body tag into a body tag.

@Martin I'm assuming the ajax request contains a full page based on your response to this answer. Assuming this is true, why are you using AJAX, why not just load the new body content as an entirely new page. Why use AJAX? Isn't the purpose of setting document.location.href and using anchor tags to do what you're looking for?
