In this case meaning when I click on a link t...

I'm developing a website for intra company use; most of the users will have iPhones. There are several dropdownlists which can have hundreds of choices (for example, a vendor list); with a keyboard this isn't a problem because you can just type the first characters of the required value and zoom in. With the iPhone you get that very cl...

In app mode, if I open a new window using javascript, the newly-opened window cannot close itself (on an on-click event) using the standard window.close() or self.close(). Does anyone know if there's an alternate method? What I find most beguiling about this is that it goes against Apple's very own design guidelines: essentially a site...

In iPhone web applications you supposedly can define a custom splash screen that will appear while the site is loading (when loading the site from a saved bookmark icon on the home page).

When someone accesses a site via a WebView in an iPhone app, is there a reliable way (JavaScript or server-side) to tell what app is being used? It seems like the user agent string can tell me if it's from Safari or not, but not what precise app is being used if it's not Safari, unless a custom user agent has been specified by the app's...
Hi, I've developed an application that is currently in the app store weighing in at just over 400MB. The main reason for this is that the app features lots of video which at the moment is baked into the binary. For our next release we'd like to externalise this video, allowing the user to download the videos they'd like to keep on-dema...

There are a few alternatives: Redirect the user based on the user agent, e.g. if the user agent sent by the browser contains "iPhone" or android or whatever. If the user agent matches the a...
Does the iPhone browser have special events that I can hook into with Javascript? For instance, if the users slides to the left, I would like to perform a certain action.
