Hi, I have got a web app working in Safari 5 on the desktop that writes to a local storage database - not problems! Able to add, update and delete records fine. I then set the web app up on the iphone, but it seems to be ignoring all database transcattions except creating and dropping tables. It does not matter whether the app is on...

Ok, before you review the code below, I know that it is AWFUL. It's redundant and bloated and I am not asking for anyone to fix it :) I am wondering what I need to study in order to fix it on my own. I'm working on a small project for my daughter, an interactive multiplication table that she can view in Mobile Safari. I want to highlig...
I have tried to disable phone number detection in safari for my web app but it still shows 7 character strings comprised of numbers as phone numbers. I used the apple provided meta tag but no joy. <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"> Anyone else run into this problem and work around it? Thanks. Update: It looks li...
I'm programming a Webpage/-Application for the iPhone. I need to scroll to a specific position after page reload, no matter where I scrolled to while using the page before. The script I use works fine in firefox but not in mobileSafari. In corntrast to firefox, mobileSafari seems to save the position I scrolled to previously and jumps t...
The title say's almost all. What I have is short lived server processes that serves a web-based javascript test suite with optionally accompanying back-ends for integration tests (see here for how it's done). I'm looking for a better way to direct the iPhone Emulator's Safari to the URL given. More, possibly optional background: Up unt...
The "gesture" I'm trying to capture is a tap when but only when an element (other or same) already has a touch on it. So, touch (1) presses the button down while touch (2) taps to selected options, touch (1) releases and button is depressed. The problem I'm having is with the last bit. The "touchend" event is not being fired when I rel...
The context: I'm actually developing a small web app (C#/MVC2). Users are going to use their iPhones (and probably Android phones in the future) to access it. At the moment it's quite simple (it just shows some info and reports from our customer's ERP), and I decided to give a try at creating local webapp that the users could add to t...
The following markup is so simple, I'm baffled as to why I'm able to scale in Safari on iPhone 4 when I shouldn't be able to. Any idea what I might be missing, or if this is a bug? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&g...
I got a video element on a page that's working fine both in safari mobile and desktop. I have a seme-transparent pull-down menu that's working fine. The problem is, when the menu is over the video element, on the desktop safari i can see the video under the menu (as desired), while on the mobile version the video element stay on the fore...
I have an html "button" which is really just this: <div onClick="window.location.href=somePage.htm"> <img src="img.png"/> </div> Works fine in desktop Safari. And it works in mobile Safari... however when I tap the "button" in mobile safari I don't see the little gray outline box indicating exactly what I'm tapping. How can I ge...
Anybody know how to get iOS to display higher resolution startup image when using ? Currently I'm stuck with 460x380 image which obviously looks horrible when displayed on iPhone 4's high dpi display. I tried the @2x trick but didn't seem to work. Any ideas or workarounds? ...
I'm looking at ways to manage a large set of images within Mobile Safari for iPad. In this case I have a web app that will move the images using webkit CSS3 animations (supposedly taking advantage of hardware to do so). I've noticed that if I have more than 10 large images (200-300K each) I hit large performance issues. Animations are j...
I am having difficulties with pages that have more than one <audio> when I use the default controls. I have not tested creating custom controls in-depth yet. The custom control has a "Start" button that changes to a "Pause". OK that works fine to pause the audio. But, when you go to the second audio control on the page, it will neve...
I can't find this information anywhere. Does the iPhone allow cookies to be stored when a webpage is opened in full screen mode (by placing a link on the home screen)? ...
I am making a webpage for iDevices and need to allow the user to draw pictures. There would be a box and they would scribble in whatever they need. Don't need color or fancy brushes. When they are done, I would need some way of collecting that input and getting it back to the server, vector or bitmap format would be fine. Is this possib...
I want to display very wide, panoramic images in Mobile Safari (iPhone, iPod, iPad). These work fine in OS X Safari and in other browsers, but on Mobile Safari there seems to be a limit on the maximum image width. Consider this web page: http://basepath.com/public/test1.html with this source: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta name ...
I am in the process of investigating whether it is possible to prevent mobile Safari from caching certain file. I went through a few posts about controlling caches in SO (e.g. meta tag, HTTP headers), and a few blog post. This one seems to implies that components are not cached unless either Expires or Cache-Control in the response heade...

In the HTML page below, I am scaling a block with a -webkit-transform. The transform scales the block from its initial size to its double size. This works as expected with Safari, and Chrome on OSX. But, on the IPad (both the simulator and the device), the scaling start from a single point instead of the original size of the image. As...
