I've been using Safari on Windows and the iBBDemo Blackbaud iPhone Browser Simulator to emulate an iPhone but I have noticed that Safari does not render form elements using the default control styles.

I'm trying to implement a UIWebViewDelegate in my application and I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I would really appreciate a second set of eyes on this.

For some reason many of the fonts will not display in Interface Builder when I am designing my iPad app. Unfortunately my iPad is yet to be delivered so I cannot tell if this is going to be a problem in the long run, but it certainly maintains through to the simulator. The fonts in question are listed on various websites as being compat...

I have an HTML5 video tag in a layer that has 'overflow: hidden;' set on it, but the video shows up outside the overflow area.

Unfortunately, because the video isn't re...
