I'm working on a javascript game (written in GWT). The game works fine on any desktop browser I've tried, but when I run it on the iPhone/iPod Touch, the screen stops showing widgets moving at random times during the game. Once it stops showing movements, I can see that the game is still running, because certain actions that cause obje...
I'm making a mobile version of my website, and trying to make it feel as native as possible on the iphone. However, any background areas of the page respond to swiping gestures such that you can shift the page partway off the screen. Specifically, if the user touches and swipes left, for example, the content shifts off the edge of the sc...
Is there an easy way to design a website to facilitate an iphone user providing gps coordinates to the site?

I'm trying to divide content inside of a table cell into two halfs and center content in each of those 2 halfs.

I'm trying to find any information I can on the PastryKit Javascript Framework. It appears to be in use on the iPhone User Guide that is displayed on the iPhone itself in Mobile Safari, but I cannot find any documentation or API. If you want to see it in action, open Safari 4, set your user agent to iPhone 3 (In the Develop menu) and che...
Mobile safari supports an attribute on input elements called autocapitalize [documented here], which when set to 'off' will stop the iPhone capitalizing the text input into that field, which is useful for url or email fields. <input type="text" class="email" autocapitalize="off" /> But this attribute is not valid in html 5 (or another...

I'm trying to build a Web page that has a rich text editor. Is it possible to use a rich text editor (such as FCKEditor) in Mobile Safari on the iPod Touch (or iPhone)?

My application uses a UINavigationController and the final view (detail view) lets you view an external website within the application using a UIWebView. I'd like to free up some additional screen real estate when the user is viewing a webpage and wanted to emulate how Safari on iPhone works where their URL bar at the top scrolls up and...
On my website at http://JonathansCorner.com/, the site as a whole displays well in mobile Safari, and the homepage displays well on (desktop) Firefox, Opera, Safari, and IE, but the homepage specifically does not look at all good on mobile Safari:itdisplaysonewordperline,stretchingoutthetextvertically.

I have a bunch of images stored in my database as blobs that I need to include in a UIWebView. I'd like to do this directly -- without first saving them as temp files. Is there a way to display images in UIWebView with raw data instead of a URL? ...
I'm using some semi-transparent PNGs as background-images on various websites. These are usually something like a 1x1 image with a 30-percent opaque white layer. I've noticed that Mobile Safari does not display them correctly, giving them a darker/grayish tint. I've created a couple test pages to illustrate. View them both in your norm...
I'm trying to build a mobile-safari/iphone web-app using jQuery code I already wrote for the desktop version of the app. The problem I'm having is that when my phone goes to sleep with the web-app running, when I wake it up (slide to unluck) the JavaScript event handlers no longer function. In this case meaning when I click on a link t...
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...

Mobile Safari on the iPhone allows you to specify different keyboard types for text input boxes as demonstrated in the Safari How-To's for iPhone, here.
