How can I write an ASP.NET (C#) application that will render a page can be permanently cached on the iPhone when it is bookmarked as a "Homescreen Icon"? I have tried setting this on the code behind "Response.ExpiresAbsolute = DateTime.MaxValue;" but to no avail. The server code is still executed every time the home screen icon is laun...
I am trying to build an iPhone web application using ASP.NET. The page is dynamically rendered once for each visitor. At this point the page can be bookmarked and it will never change again for that visitor. For this reason it should be cached locally from that point on so the application will run if referenced from the bookmark even if...

I am using this meta tag <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" /> as specified on iPhone Dev Center but the address bar and toolbar are still there when launched from the home screen icon.

Are there any resources or guidance out there on how to make iPhone friendly web applications? In my case specifically, I'd like to use ASP.NET MVC, but since that all runs on the server, I know it'll boil down to just markup/css/javascript considerations. edit: as I find other resources not mentioned here, I will update the question t...

I need to determine a person's location within 50m. I'm wondering if I should use navigator.location.watchPostion() or call getCurrentPostion() over and over again. watchPostion() is the proper W3C API for doing what I want, but practically, it seems to be overkill. Here's my code: var map = null; var marker = null; var layer = null;...

Here's my situation; I've built a very simple web app that looks up a users location and plots it on a Google map. Here's my code: http://pastebin.com/d3a185efd When I test it, my location is detected as being >= 500 meters from where I actually stand.

Hi, a quick, probably easy question whose answer is probably "best practice" I'm following a tutorial for a custom-template mobile Safari webapp, and to change views around this code is used: function btnSave_ClickHandler(event) { var views = document.getElementById('stackLayout'); var front = document.getElementById('mainScree...

Is this possible to do without calling a new page from the server, i.e. to drive it from within CSS/Javascript itself? Thanks! ...

I'm working on a web app and I need to get a div to stick to the bottom of the viewport. Always viewable and always on the bottom of the viewport. There's an example of what I want here: footer.

I have a nascent bridge scoring app that is meant to be stored locally on an iPod touch/iPhone (iPad? Would probably be fugly...) So far so good, got a custom icon rolling and basic JS navigation laid out, but my problem is that it retains its state when I quit the app. Is there a simple magic Apple meta tag for this? Or is it achieved ...
For creating an offline version of a bunch of linked web pages I use an app.manifest-file that lists all the web pages for offline caching. I would like it that the app.manifest file is not fetched every time when a user jumps from one web page to another. Most of the web pages will never be updated once the application is on the iPhone...
