br tag on mobile safari

Image Won't Display In Mobile Safari

I'm developing a website, it validates properly, and it works perfectly in Chrome, FireFox, Internet Explorer, and Desktop Safari. The only problem that I'm having with it is in Mobile Safari for iOS. I have a div element with an <img> tag inside it. On a desktop browser, it will show it. However, iOS will display a missing image icon instead. This only occurs on iOS. You can test it out yourself by going to http://covu.optini.com first in your desktop browser and then again in your Mobile Safari browser. Could anyone please give me some insight as to why this would be happening? Thanks. All the other images display correctly in Mobile Safari.

Update: It works perfectly on iOS5 Mobile Safari. It isn't working on iOS 4.3.3's Safari.
I hate to double post, but the edit button wasn't showing up.

Mobile Safari Crash when using an iFrame in Full Screen mode (Icon launch)

Platform: iPad 2/3/mini iOS 8.1 (Other versions seem to show the same behavior)
The Problem:
I am making an html5 app that is running in full screen mode by adding it to the homescreen and using the <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"> tag to hide Safari.
When altering the source of an iFrame to an asset (mov, mp3, etc), Safari in turn will crash ONLY when in full screen mode. If I am browsing my app out of full screen mode, the assets load without a problem.
The odd thing is, the default browser player for these assets change in appearance when using the full screen mode.
I have setup a page to reproduce the crash:
Navigate to: http://instapark.me/roi
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (No crash)
Add to your homescreen.
Launch from homescreen icon.
Click on the big red mp3 button, an mp3 will play in the iframe.(No crash, but it will not play.)
Click on the big red mov button, an mov file will play in the iframe. (crash!)

It is already switched off because it's a known issue that the macbook pro mid 2010 has kernel panics with the discrete gpu.
Any other guesses?
*Also please note that this is probably a safari issue since chrome works fine. But I can't read crash logs so any help would be appreciated.

SVG and Mobile Safari?

Does anyone have the display of SVG graphics working on their iPhone? Please tell us how you accomplished this!?
I'd LOVE to be able to check on my servers etc with mobile Safari. But, the graphics my stats package displays are all in SVG format.
So much for a full-featured internet experience. C'mon Apple!

I'm not having a problem with SVG. How are the graphics being presented (object tags or are they expecting a plugin?)

How do you create a login page using dashcode for the iPhone's mobile safari that will transfer you to the next page?

     Hey I have created a login page in Dashcode for a mobile safari app (aka iphone web app) and I am having trouble since I can not find any useful info about multiple pages. I don't want to use a stack layout view because it is only a login page and I need to check with a database to make sure the user's login info is correct. Right now I have it set up so that it loads another iphone web app project once it validates the info.
     The only problem with this is I am having a good bit of trouble trying to pass values from my php code to javascript or html. For some reason calling the javascript inside the php code makes the actual code inside the app not be called and same with the echo statment for the html.
So I would like to be able to create the app in this way:
Login page > PHP > MS SQL > PHP > UNKNOWN (if I can't get the javascript or html to output both) > Secure info on the next page
     I believe It would be a lot easier if I had the option for a multiple page but instead I am having to load up an entirely new dashcode project. If anyone knows a better way please let me know. Or if anyone knows a link to good information on passing values from php to javascript, because I couldn't get any of the code I tried to work, I would really appreciate it.

Addendum to previous reply:
OK. This is weird--but I should be used to that, and just grateful that it seems to work (for now).
What I had done is FTPd some image files to my site using Filezilla, but when I had tried to access them, I was unsuccessful. I am almost sure that I used the same url (and variations of it) as you suggested, namely,  http://mysite.verizon.net/username/filename , and it either did not work, or gave me the "Page under construction", or, in some cases asked me for my username and password.
But, when I did it this time, it worked. So I probably had something off, but I can now do what I want.
By the way, if you'll permit another question, while on the site-builder site, it said that there was a "Web Photo Manager", and said that "To download the Web Photo Manager: Open the Site Builder application and go to the All My Sites page. Click on the Web Photo Manager link (listed under Advanced Building Tools )." I can't find it--would you happen to know where it is?
In any case, thanks a lot for all your help--it solved my problem.

How can I make google search links open in the same tab in mobile safari?

But I want to make it open in the same tab and actually it does in my wife's iphone.
I don't know what difference make this...

Hi
Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

Mobile Safari does not play videos

http://naartjie.nanoson.com/movie.html
Three videos on a simple HTML page[/URL] Check HTML source yourself - it's trivial!
First video about Subaru plays well in Mobile Safari.
About second Mobile Safari says, that it can't download video file! About third it says, that video can't be played.
First I thought that video format is wrong, but! If all that 3 videos send via email to iPhone or upload to iDisk and use iDisk.app, all they can played without any errors! So what is my mistake? Are there any more strict limitations on video in HTML for Mobile Safari?

K T, I'm not sure what you're talking about, but since this WORKED on the iPad but DID NOT work on ANY other version of Safari (including the iPhone/iPod version), I don't think that could possibly be the issue. Now, what it COULD be is that I processed these videos on an old PowerMac with Final Cut Studio 1 (so Compressor 2, not Compressor 3) . . . but I thought the H.264 standard has been unchanged for seven years, right? If so, I don't see how that could be it either. But I don't know much about this stuff.
Would compressing the file for "streaming" rather than "download" on an older version of Compressor do anything to the resulting file that would somehow make it incompatible with Safari? And maybe they just tweaked the **** out of the iPad for the big launch and caught that bug, but haven't fixed it on other platforms yet? Like I said, I don't know much about this stuff, but that's the only thing I can think of that made the videos I processed, uploaded, and tested any different than the videos that WORK on all versions of Safari.
To clarify, all the videos I have processed myself ONLY work on the iPad. Videos I download from the Internet, then upload and test with the exact same code, work on all up-to-date versions of Safari (and Chrome too).

Bookmarks bar and tab controls not working in mobile Safari on iPad2

The bookmarks bar as well as tab controls in Mobile Safari on iPad 2 are not clickable. Only the topmost nav buttons work. This persists through reboots w/Safari closed via mem manager, and a system restore. What do?

closing Safari via the taskbar
or having done a reset (unless that is what you mean by a reboot)
"This persists through reboots w/Safari closed via mem manager"
That is obviously exactly what I meant. How does one reboot an iPad without "resetting" it? How does one do a system restore without "resetting" it?

Images saved from Mobile Safari are significantly degraded

When I tried to use an image saved from Mobile Safari as my wallpaper I noticed that it looked horrible. It was blurry and more importantly the dynamic range of the image had been compressed, blowing out all the detail in the bright areas of the image and making it contrastier. This is especially bad on the type of photo I was trying to use, a high-key image, where most of the detail is in the light tones. Much of the image was simply displayed as blank white.
As a test I tried emailing the image I had saved into Photos to myself and compared it to the original I had saved from the web. Sure enough, the image was blurrier and had less dynamic range so it's not just an iPhone display issue. Also, the image was only 27% smaller in file size and the pixel dimensions were actually slightly increased. A quick re-save in Photoshop with JPEG quality set to low (4) reduced the file size by 53% while still not affecting the image anything like what the iPhone did. So it doesn't make sense that the poor quality is only due to resizing for faster transmission.
Can anyone else confirm this or replicate the issue? I've verified this with a 1st gen and 3G iPhone side by side, both running OS 2.1.

No, it's not only you.
I noticed it too. As a matter of fact, I just posted a really long post in a thread about iPhone/iPod Touch's photo quality.

How To Get Mobile Safari Cascading Dropdown To Refresh?

Hi
I am trying to do a straight forward cascading dropdown for mobile safari. I have this working 100% in safari itself, which shows normal style drop downs. But mobile safari dropdowns have a 'next' button.
Hitting this next button takes you to the next drop down in the cascade with triggering onchange() - thus the next dropdown is empty.
The user is forced to press 'done' to trigger on change, then click on the next dropdown.
Does anyone know a way around this. Or what DOM event is triggered by mobile safari's''next'?
Thanks

Copy URL in iOS8 Mobile Safari

Mobile Safari in iOS 7 had a button that would copy the full URL of a page.
Is there also a "copy URL to clipboard" button for Mobile Safari in iOS 8? I've tried taping the "Copy" button but it does NOT copy the URL to the clipboard. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sorry for Bad spelling Caused by iPad Language settings!

Embedding quicktime files to be viewed in mobile safari on iphone

I'm trying to place some quicktime files i've made on my site so that they're viewable on my iphone's mobile safari browser. I can't seem to get it to work, anyone else have any luck?
Currently i've exported it as .mov, and .m4v several different ways including using QTPro, FCP, and compressor and always selecting the iPhone option.
Is there a certain type of html the iphone needs to have the video embedded with in order to read it on the iphone?
My current result is either the phone says "can't download file" or "quicktime can't play file"

i'm not sure the iphone supports .mov files. try exporting as a .mp4 (MPEG-4).

Photo upload in Mobile Safari

Hi
It seems that I can't upload a photo through a website in Mobile Safari as the "choose file for upload" box is greyed out so won't let me choose a photo from my phone to upload.
Is there an update in iOS6 to sort this problem out?
Kind regards

Thanks again! Hopefully you're right; makes a lot of sense to enable file uploads from mobile devices seeing as there's several hundred million of them in use at present! Not long til iOS6, thank God! Cheers, again!

Is Mobile Safari's in-app multitasking (audio stream in one tab, browsing in another) gone for good?

I cannot remember the last iOS version this feature actually worked, but in the past, I used to be able to open a tab in Mobile Safari, begin streaming audio from a website, pinch in to bring up standard UI again, and then open up another tab within Safari itself and continue to browse the web. All the while the streaming audio is still playing in the background.
Now (and actually for the last few iOS versions, it's been a while), you cannot browse Safari while listening to a Safari audio stream at the same time. To me this makes no sense at all, because it's just a simple backgrounding concept. I can go off and use any other app on my phone, but not Safari itself.
There ARE a few ways to kind of trick Safari into allowing you to browse and listen, but it's a poor workaround. You can go to the website, tap-and-hold on the stream URL, then select Open in Background. Doing so will begin the stream and keep you in the current webpage and then allow you to open more tabs.
HOWEVER, if you ever select that audio stream tab, you can't control it consistently, and most of the time you'll get stuck in that tab and your solution is broken.
For YEARS I've been waiting for Apple to fix this silly limitation with each new iOS release, but every time I find that it's never fixed. I'm just surprised that I don't hear more people complaining about it, because it's been a huge source of frustration for me for so long.
Does anyone else experience this frustration or know if this is intentional (which would be enormously depressing if Apple purposely designed these functions) or if there are any better solutions to it than what I've come up with?

Thanks for the heads up.
Odd that I can't just email their support department.
I'll post back with my results.
