Question

What should I do an existing asp.net based web site for running under iphone and ipad environment without problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

good question (+1 voted)! there are lots of resources on this but talking from experience the main things I’d cater for are:

• ensure there’s no vital flash objects
  on the page as it isn’t supported by
  many mobile browsers (yet?)
• appropriate screen size (using
  viewport meta tag)
• keeping in mind that there’s no mouse
  cursors, meaning no
  hover/double-clicks are available any
  mouse dragging gestures are different
  on touch devices
• remember all pop-ups are open in new
  tabs and won’t be seen at the same
  time as the main window, use
  javascript modal divs as alternative
• test all your javascript and css to
  ensure everything looks and works the
  same (Safari requires -webkit- prefix
  for the newest CSS properties)
• create a Home screen icon for your
  website (a nice thing to have)

most of these things are covered here

take a look at Safari Dev Center for tutorials/videos/coding how to’s etc.
