Is there a way to check to see if an iphone is online from a web app. That is, in mobile safari, can I check the online status of the device to see if I should try an ajax call or not. In firefox/regular webkit, this would be if(navigator.onLine) { onlineCode() } ...
How do I go about making an image or section of the page full screen on the iPhone? I have an image that is 480 x 320 and I want to pull that up full screen on the iPhone but it has to be within a webpage so that I can make the image a link back to the previous page. Currently if I drop the image on a blank page and I open it up on the...
This seems like it should be simple but after a couple hours of googling I have not figured it out. I know I can add iCal links using ICS files, but this does not work on the iPhone. BTW, when I say iPhone I would like it to work on the touch also. Anyone have any luck with this? ...
Mobile Safari is a very capable browser, and it can handle my website as it is perfectly. However, there are a few elements on my page that could be optimized for browsing using this device; such as serving specific thumbnails that are smaller than the desktop counterparts to help fit more content into the screen. I would like to know h...
I'm working with a JavaScript API where most of the functions are asynchronous. The API is the WebKit JavaScript Database API which is a binding to a subset of functionality to manipulate SQLite3 databases. I understand the design decision to make things async as to not block and provide a responsive user interface. In my situation I ...
I'm starting a web application that will target Mobile Safari on iPhone/iPod Touch. I'm evaluating the available client-side JavaScript/CSS libraries/frameworks that are currently out there. These are the ones I'm currenlty aware of: iUI CiUI UiUIKit WebApp.Net iWebKit Apple's Dashcode Application - not really a standalone library/fr...
Safari on iPhone automatically creates links for strings of digits that appear to the telephone numbers. I am writing a web page containing an IP address, and Safari is turning that into a phone number link. Is it possible to disable this behavior for a whole page or an element on a page? ...
On a web page that is to be displayed on an iPhone, is there a way to get the number pad to come up when the user taps in the field, instead of the qwerty keypad? This guy says here's how to do it, but as of 2.0, this "feature" was disabled. I'm guessing there's some fancy javascript to employ to get around this limitation? ...
I read the tutorials for web applications and the special rules you can put into style sheets. Are folks finding they can just tweak their style sheets to serve up content to iPhones or do they deliver custom iPhone specific pages? would you bother with this if you were going to create a specific page anyway for mobile users ? (even if ...
I've been creating CSS/Javascript to style an upcoming site differently on iPhone - mostly to enhance usability. On the desktop app, I use slimbox in combination with mootools for an image gallery. This doesn't work on iPhone because it won't show the image fullscreen (safari chrome gets in the way). The solution I have at the moment is ...
Hi there, I'm trying to read cookies using an xcode application im writing for iphone and testing on emulator. However when I run the code below the value stored in mumcookies is 0.

I remember seeing a tutorial a while back on this but am unable to re-Google it. Supposedly there is a way to get Safari on the iPhone to give keyboards other than the default. It went something along the lines of this, where certain keywords in the input name attribute triggered it... This would give the default keyboard: <input type...

Is it possible to position an element fixed relative to the viewport in MobileSafari? As many have noted, position: fixed doesn't work, but Gmail just came out with a solution that almost is what I want see the floating menu bar on the message view. Getting real-time scroll events in JavaScript would also be a reasonable solution. ...
I’m writing a web site targeted at the iPhone. I’d like to set a class on the <body> element when the iPhone’s orientation changes (i.e. when the user turns the phone into landscape and/or portait mode). Can I detect this change via JavaScript? Is there an event for this? ...
So I just made my web-application "iPhone Friendly". So you can add it to your home screen and it has an icon, no chroming, etc etc. The problem is that I want to display a custom splash-screen every time it is opened from the iPhone home screen. Right now it just shows the last screen viewed while it basically runs a refresh. I have...
When I rotate my iPhone into landscape mode, the iPhone automatically bumps the text size up. What is the best way to prevent this? I'd like rotation to give the visitor more text to read, not a larger font. Is JavaScript like this the only way to go? ...
Want to write a site for the iphone, but I don't have one and I don't know anyone who has one. Is there a way to develop for it without having access to one, maybe apple has some sort of sim for this or something. Anyone know of anything? ...
I have a jQModal window on my site that has its content populated by an Ajax call. It works fine in all of the desktop browsers, but it fails in Mobile Safari on the iPhone. The overlay and the window itself are displayed on the top of the body of the page, rather than covering the iPhone viewport. If you scroll up, you can see the win...
