Desktop view in mobile safari

Is there any way to force Safari to view the desktop version of a website? Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.

And this is relevant to the discussion how?
All web browsers, mobile or desktop, leave a signature that is read by the website. Depending on the sophistication of the website programers, the site can deliver different versions of the content to meet the requirements of that particular browser.
Google gives you a choice when it detects a mobile browser; many website do not.

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).

When frequently switching between mobile and desktop view

When I frequently switching between mobile and desktop view I have to open the layers every time since they get closed/collapsed. Adobe may need to fix it for the next version.

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

Muse/business catalyst: opera mini / opera mobile gets stuck in desktop view

After visiting a muse site and switching to desktop view, Opera Mini continues to serve it up even when reverting the original URL:
1. Create a site site.com with a mobile and desktop view.
2. Provide link to get from mobile to desktop.
3. Open site with opera mini. The mobile view loads.
4. Click the link to get to the desktop view. Muse redirects to something like site.com/phone/index.html?devicelock=phone
5. Put in the URL for the original site, eg. site.com.
6. Now, when you go to site.com, the URL resolves to the desktop site. Incorrectly.
7. Try clearing the history and cache in opera mini -> same result.
8. Go to explicit link to phone site. Then go back to base URL site.com. Still resolves incorrectly to desktop site.
It appears Muse is not supporting opera mini / mobile responsively, please advise.

That's not quite correct. Please see step #8 above. Even if I follow a "go to phone site" link with a "devicelock=phone" parameter, it may take me to the phone site, but default navigation remains stuck on desktop, when I put in the site URL. If your understanding of the design is what you described, then the actual behavior is not in alignment. I would appreciate you passing that on to the engineers.
Even with the design you describe, there is a problem considering the following use case:
1. User views phone site on their flip phone.
2. User attempts to load desktop site. Site loads, but is not viewable on mobile device.
3. User wants to revert to phone site and does not have ability to click a link, so they go back to the referring page or e-mail which contains ... the original site URL.
After the user clicks desktop link, the site is lost to them, unless they can figure out how to (and agree to) kill all their cookies.

How to set browser view as a desktop view by default in mobile using jquery

Hi,
we are create one website in sharepoint 2013 with responsive.
when ever we are opening in mobile and desktop it is loading with exact UI.
But, our client asking us to change the view from mobile view to desktop view in browser while the page is loading,
the behind reason is dropdown view, our client expecting the look and feel exactly like desktop in mobile.

Hi BrettoAbraham,
Answer is - Deactivate "Mobile Browser View" from site feature.
By default, "Mobile Browser View" is active to save data bandwidth in PS2013. When it is active, it renders "Site content" page assuming user just select list/library to perform operation.
If you want user to see site page first and then navigate, then please Deactivate "Mobile Browser View"
Hope this will help you

Did the upgrade to version 7. Now I cannot view MyYahoo in desktop view in Safari. How do I do that in this version?

I prefer to use desktop view in most apps. The new MyYahoo mobile app is all that shows up. It disappoints. Where is the link to chose desktop view?

Do you see the menu bar or anything else? As for the missing toolbar, this is the case for 90% of Firefox users, for instance the Google Toolbar. To restore it, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
As for the white screen, I am not sure what you mean, but your install looks corrupted, you probably need to uninstall Firefox and reinstall from scratch. You may spend too much time and effort otherwise. Back up your settings first if you have any, like Firefox bookmarks.

Dreamweaver CC fluid grid site, how do I give user the option to view desktop version on mobile?

Hi all, I've just built my first fluid grid site with Dreamweaver CC, just wondering what is the easiest way to give an option to the user to view the desktop version on a mobile device (so they can zoom-in and pinch around and get to see what would be shown on a desktop). My mobile version of the site is a lot different to the desktop. I've kept all the original code structure, css, media quries and use of boilerplate etc intact from the original dreamweaver cc template. If someone could please show the best way to do this would be great

Hi Ben, yes I know but I come across people who insist on using the desktop version of sites because they are more familiar with the layout of the buttons and dont want to relearn etc, I come across this many times on sites I visit myself actually where I don't have time to relearn the navigation of the site because I know the desktop version so well, if in a rush etc.
Hi Mary Blight its definatley possible, I mean I could create a new css file with desktop version only css and use jquery to change the mobile css to this new css file when a user clicks "view desktop button", its just that I must have over 2000 lines of css and about 200 classes thats properties are spread over the 3 different media queries (with different inhertence), and I really don't want to have to manually go through each if I have to.
Was hoping I might be able to use some view port meta tags like how apple does on their devices
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> something like this to fool the device into thinking its a desktop site, or something along those lines etc.

Mobile Safari as full desktop safari browser in ipad

Mobile Safari as full desktop safari browser in iPad
I am having a curiosity which i need to solve with the help of yours. Actually as per my knowledge is concerned i know that the iPad is working with the mixture of mobile Safari as regular one. What i want is to change this to the full desktop safari browser. So is there any modification which i can perform to get it working as i want to. Thank you.

If you would specify exactly what you need, then someone might be able to offer an alternative means to reach the same goal. But as PogoPossum said, nothing will let you run Flash or Java, or Windows Active X, or use the browser to download apps from the internet. Apps must always come from the iTunes app store.

How can I only justify in the mobile and tablet view and justify and indent in the desktop view?

I need to have the text to appear in the mobile and tablet view 100% wide. I need the same text indented by 200px on both side in the desktop view.

Great! You're welcome.
Lynda.com has excellent tutorials (video walkthroughs, exercise files, etc to complement it) that will get you going in no time. It is usually a paid subscription but it's definitely worth every penny.
Here are some basics that I'd recommend for you:
Web Foundation - Learn Web Foundations with Video Courses and Tutorials from lynda.com
Web Development - Learn Web Development with Video Courses and Tutorials from lynda.com
CSS - CSS Video Courses and Tutorials from lynda.com
Dreamweaver - Dreamweaver Video Courses and Tutorials from lynda.com
If you get the basics right (1,2 & 3) DW should be very easy to follow and so would any other authoring software. End of the day, DW is only an application to author with and not a language/ code in itself - it's on the last of my list.
Good luck and happy learning!

How do I add desktop view option to mobile version

I have a website with a desktop & mobile version. I would like to add an option to the mobile version to view the desktop version on their phone and then a way for them to get back to their mobile version. What's the best way to do this. I tried this using hyperlinks but found that after viewing the desktop on my phone it stayed on desktop view after returning to the mobile platform. Do I just add a hyperlink to the desktop version to get back to the mobile version?

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by Apple / Android?

Include Air ( desktop app ) inside Mobile app permited by apple / android?
This is my question....:
I need a "viewer" app run in a desktop machine... via p2p... ( done and working )
I will like to include it in my iOS / Android Release, an then by example move it to the documents folder.
Run iTunes and then copy the file from the shared document folder.
Is this permited by apple / android / adobe ?
Thanks....

just tracing some kind of tests I'm doing.
A couple of hours ago I left working 2 instances of my Application, leaving alone this computer: one instance is the Mac desktop version and the other one is the Web version. In this case both versions were running on the same computer (an iMac with OS X Mavericks):
1) the AIR/Mac version have been recompiled yesterday with the new AIR4(.0.0.1619 - AIR 3.8 is used to fall in a equivalent way - no changes)
2) the Web version have been compiled targeting FP 11.8 and it is running on Chrome browser with PepperFlash NOT disabled (which reports version MAC 13.0.0.80, the latest)
I left working both the Mac and the Web versions of the Application opened on the pc screen (= not minimized) but kept totally behind some Terminal/ssh windows (= not on OS focus and the system is not asked to update any screen area of the app for sure).
I came back after about 2 hours and I got the browser version connected&running (but it is not a rule) and I also found the AIR-based Mac version disconnected (uau, usually I found the app disconnected but with the screen freezed at last user look ->) which rapidly reconnects upon my click on the Apple dock icon (bring to front).
Why these different behaviours? I ask to myself.
The two versions of the software are TOTALLY the SAME application: except for the first Flash file (a 24kb swf file for the Web version and a 170kb dmg file for the Mac version), basically a platform-dependent loader, both versions loads the same remote swf modules. Of course t is AIR (or my first Flash file?).
I attach the source code of the Mac version of the [first file] AIR-based application at the following url:

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.

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.

Problems Viewing Flash in Safari

I posted this over three days ago, got 49 views, and exactly zero replies!
So I am reposting in high hopes that someone can suggest something, anything that I can try.
Thanks for viewing anyway...
+I am trying to troubleshoot for my sister who has an iMac G4 800mhz; 768mb RAM; 64mb VRAM; running 10.4.10+
+Quicktime trailers play fine for her in Safari, (or on her desktop), but with Flash content, like at Youtube, or Comedy Central, the video playback stutters badly. I define stutter, as unwatchable jumpy video, and audio that plays back better than the video, but also drops out occasionally.+
+I've upgraded her to the the latest version of Flash, and that did nothing. I also downloaded Firefox, just to check another browser, and Flash content stutters there to.+
+My next idea, as a test, was to download a flash file to her desktop, and see if it stutters there without using Safari, and it's flash plugin, as the player.+
+So I downloaded a flash file from youtube, (by doubleclicking it in the activity window, which automatically downloads a file called, "get video," with no file extension, and a generic icon.)+
+I then added a .flv on the end of the file name, and the icon turned into a flash icon.+
+Now, I want to note, on my computers, when I add a .flv on the end of the name of one of these files I've downloaded from Youtube, when I highlight it in a finder window under column view, I see a preview of the movie, which I can play there. I can also ctrl click, and choose, open with other, (because flash player will not open an flv file), and choose Quicktime as the app, it opens and plays.+
+On her computer, when I highlight the same file in column view in her finder window, there is no preview visible, just a large flash icon, and the file will not open with her Quicktime app either.+
+Now, I could care less whether she can play the darn things on her desktop, though I am perplexed that I cannot. (I was just troubleshooting.) Btw, we are both using the same versions of OSX 10.4.10; Safari 2.0.4; Quicktime 7.2; and Flashplayer 9.0+
+All I want is for her to be able to play Flash content on Safari without the stutter.+
+Any suggestions?+

The most important thing: don't upgrade your OS or browser now.
Next, all we need to know is the speed of her internet connection, the amount of space left on her hard drive, the number of cute little widgets she has on her machine, and how long & often 10.4 has been used. These I explain below (except the internet speed, which just requires a larger buffer).
First, however, try adjusting the Power Management from 'Better Energy Savings' to 'Better Performance'. Flash runs fine on an iBook G3 whose disk is virtually filled (for momentary storage) connected to a 100 Mbps DSL, so something big (but likely easily fixed) is wrong.
On the G3 machine, Flash cinema (as opposed to cartoons, in SWF files) will stutter hopelessly if the Energy Setting is 'Better Energy Setting' and run adequately if set for 'Better Performance'. This is when viewing previews with Safari 2 of NetFlix movies.
If you Ctrl-Click the screen, a little menu offers 'Settings'. Clicking the folder, I choose only 100 Mb of cache. You can offer Flash as much as it wants.
The real problem, I'm guessing, is that MacOSX 10.4 is not paging (as it should), but swapping in desperation. This OS uses demand paging: the real memory is pretty much filled with processes (programs in memory) you either need or want to run, and the OS starts exchanging those pages (4096 bytes?) from the hard disk needed to run what is now scheduled, replacing part of the memory of a process not currently needed to run. This is fast, and the processors have hardware designed to page.
Problems arise when (1) you have many little widgets active (for, though they don't run, they take up real memory and can significantly reduce your 768 MB of RAM; and (2) your processor is stressed. This you can check by running 'Activity Monitor'. When real memory is mostly filled most of the time, when your hard disk's freespace is fragmented so the pages must be stretched out all over your disk; or the number of processes become too great: your computer swaps to speed the computer.
Swapping moves essentially the entire process to your hard disk, so whole processes are stored in real memory. These can be large. If you need just several large ones, they must play musical chairs: some pause when swapped to the hard disk, and others run fast. Power Management needed to cool the G4 is sophisticated, and takes memory. Safari 2 takes great memory. If fact, Safari 2 and a few widget will fill about 512 MB of RAM chips.
Now, if your swapping several processes that the scheduler things are really, really needed to keep your computer running, Flash Player will be swapped out, empying its cache. When it comes back, moments later, you have lost that period of time and it stutters.
I should start 'Activity Monitor' running, see what resources you are short on, then 'turn off' the Power Management processes and see if things improve. If you are not short of any resources, I should suspect your freespace is fragmented. This is not reported by any utility I'm aware of, but it will cause your Mac to ultimately swap rather than page.
This is because 10.4 had its file system 'augmented': every 20 MB or less in size is written defragmented. This is done by searching out the free space and diminishing it. This was (in my opinion) a good idea only if people now & then defragment their disks with a file-by-file backup & restore, or a disk defragmenter. Otherwise, your computer will eventually stop paging & start swapping, with a great change to your 'user experience', and you won't know why.
I should guess that this iMac G4 has run 10.4 quite a while without either. Is this true? Version 10.4 was installed on this iBook G3 when it first came out, and months ago I received the message: 'Not enough free space for 5 MB swapfile', when the OS reported 7 GB free on the hard disk!
Write back.
Best of luck,
Bruce
