Good iPhone optimized Web Sites?

All,
I would like to ask what good iPhone optimized Web Sites, people use. I have created my own web page would would like to add links to cool sites.
Check out my new iPhone optimized web site At:
ihttp://homepage.mac.com/mgural/iPhone.html
It offers a quick web search, with the ability to search Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia, Digg, Flickr + 12 other Great searches, all from one search form. Link buttons to many great iPhone optimized sites. The whole site is orientation sensitive, and rotating you iPhone to the left and right, will change the page, and may also reveal some hidden surprises. Have fun, and let me know what you think.

Optimized websites are a far cry from prior "WAP" or "mobile" sites. They're generally text only and very limited in what they can display. iPhone optimized sites are simply sites optimized for a touch interface (interface widgets of a certain size and other tips listed here. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/designingcontent.html )
They are still able to use the full power of Safari to create really sophisticated and graphic powered interfaces. In some cases, the site can also be designed so as to be an easier download over EDGE. As long as the site author allows me to choose a full version of their site by choice (when I have WiFi), then I've no problem with optimized sites.

  • Compatibility with old IE-optimized web sites

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing some issues with a couple of my company websites that are optimized for an old version of Internet Explorer. I mean that using the new IE10 I need to use the option of "Compatibility view" to display the web pages correctly. Using Safari in my OS X environment is pratically impossible to display the web pages correctly. I can't manage to find any solution, I have tried to:
    Use Chrome, Firefox and Opera
    Install IE7 using Wine in OS X, but the results are very poor
    This is a real problem for me because I can't use my Mac at work because of this issue. Is there any workaroud for such this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Update the websites to be compatible with other browsers. If they use AtiveX they cannot be read by a Mac, and web sites that only work with IE are hopelessly outdated and will not attract business.
    As it says in this document:
    http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/
    "Safari complies with standards, but not all browsers do. This article explains how to design, modify and validate your website so that it can be rendered and read properly by all major browsers."
    Try this: after you have logged into a problem page, open another tab or window with http://validator.w3.org/ and paste in the URL of that page, which will reveal any noncompliance with standards.
    You also need to read this:
    "Safari is one of the most standards-compliant browsers ever built. Thus, your best bet for ensuring your pages render properly in Safari — today’s version and beyond — is to follow web standards. For a great overview of web standards, check out Mozilla.org’s article Using Web Standards in Your Web Pages."

  • Can't log into web sites on iPhone 4s.

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1.  I've recently noticed that on the iPhone, I can't log onto any web site that requires my ID and password.  Basically the information is not recognized by the web site.  I had no problem logging onto these same sites on the old 3Gs. I've checked that the IDs and passwords are being entered correctly.
    If I use my iPad of my MacBook Pro, I can log onto theses same web sites without a problem.  I've tried resetting the iPhone but that has not fixed the problem.
    The log in problem only happens on the iPhone.
    Web sites that don't require an ID and password seem to be working fine on the iPhone.
    Has anyone else run across this issue?  Any ideas how to correct it?
    Regards,
    David

    Many web sites requiring username/password use cookies during authentication.  Be sure Settings | Safari | Accept Cookies is set to something other than Never.  I recommend From visited.  I think iOS 5 defaults this setting to Never, a difference from prior iOS versions.

  • How do I set up a root directory for a web site

    So this is probably a naive newbie question.
    I have been creating websites driven by php/mysql on my mac for years using the previous the web preference pane to run Apache and since that went away using XAMPP to provide Apache/php/mysql functionality on localhost.
    I decided to download OSX server and try to use that.  Figured might as well go native MAC.
    I am baffled.
    The manual says to set up a web site in Server by working through the Websites Services interface. I did that and pointed the setup at the directory where I have all of my web site files.  I now have no idea how to access that page from my local machine.
    I have tried:
    http://localhost/myURL
    http://localhost/~username/Sites/[root file directory]  -- where the files are stored
    I also tried some typical localhost ip address
    None access my site.
    How do I access my site over my local netework?
    I feel like just dumping server.app and stting things up through the terminal.
    Thanks,

    How familiar are you with the bash command line and with Apache, and how much do you want to learn about Apache and related topics?  (If you're not already, then I'd encourage learning about this material, as this knowledge is very useful for maintaining and updating sites, and knowledge of correctly securing files and directories is critical to building and maintaining secure web sites — all of managing and running and updating a web server builds on these foundations.  There are various good books and web sites on Apache, and the Apache web site has various materials available, if you don't already have something.)
    The localhost host name and the 127.0.0.1 IPv4 address are both synonyms for the "me" host.  It's the name and the address that always gets you to the current host.
    With http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1 specification, what you enter at the URL address bar is relative to the root directory specified for the default web server, and will default to the index.html or index.php page or whatever the default web site is configured to use.  With OS X Server, this root directory is configured via Server.app.  To use Server.app, launch it, connect to the server, select Websites from the left navigation, and you (by default) will see a default site and a secure site.  Select the default site.  Select the edit button below the site to edit (and to view) the configuration. 
    With the details of the default site visible, you will see the path to the default web directory.  This path to the default web directory is where the files for the default web sever location reside. 
    The default path to the default web site is /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
    If you place foo.html in that directory (or whatever the defailt web site is using), you can view it via your web browser and the URLs:
    http://127.0.0.1/foo.html
    http://localhost/foo.html
    To get to the default web site using the GUI, launch Finder and select Go To Folder, and enter that string into the box.  You will now get a GUI view of that folder.  (I'd strongly recommend using the command line here, and not the GUI.  To get to the directory from the command line and then list the files present, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities folder and issue the following commands:
    cd /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
    ls
    If you want to test something in the browser, you can use the file:///path-to-file-to-test mechanism.  Most web browsers will allow you to render local files directly using file and three slashes.
    You will need to ensure the executable files (scripts) are marked as executable to OS X, using a Terminal.app command such as the following:
    chmod o+x path-to-file
    Enabling ~/user per-user sites involves directly editing the configuration file, as Apple has disabled that by default. 
    There's an Apache tutorial with an overview of what's involved with enabling per-user directories here, and there's what's been listed in my earlier replies and links.  With OS X Server Mavericks, the default configuration file for Apache is located in the Library folder, and can be viewed with the following Terminal.app command:
    cat /library/server/web/config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
    This file is the OS X Server equivalent of the oft-cited httpd.conf file you'll see listed in various documentation.
    If you want to enable the per-user directories or tweak other Apache settings, then shut down Apache from Server.app or from the command line, and then edit the configuration file with nano or some other command-line editor using a command similar to this:
    sudo nano /library/server/web/config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf
    you'll end up finding and uncommenting (removing the #) from the following two lines:
    #LoadModule apple_userdir_module ${SERVER_INSTALL_PATH_PREFIX}/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_userdir_apple.so
    #Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
    If you have specific questions about this, then I and others here can answer those.  If you don't understand something, then asking a question about that can help you learn, and can help me understand what it is that I'm posting in my replies here that's confusing you.  There are also various resources available for learning Apache, and I'd encourage spending a little time with those if you've not already done so or feeling at all unsure about how that tool works; I end up re-re-reviewing the Apache docs fairly regularly.

  • Help please ! applet can't run on web site but can on my machine

    I had uploaded my applet to some free web site.
    The problem is that if I'm trying to open html of applet,
    instead applet appears gray area. This happens only if the computer has no PLUG IN or JRE installed. Tell me please if there is some other solution except to download PLUG IN or JRE, because it's not good for the web site user.

    I'm no expert on this, but as far as I know you always need a plug in to run applets in a browser (java plug in).

  • Why my Flsh web site can't be seen in an Iphone?

    Hi,
    I developed a web site in Flash CS3 and published. I tried it
    in different browsers and it looks good. But, when I tried to look
    at it in an Iphone, it looked like the browser was trying to open
    it because it showed the background of the web-site but nothing
    else. What do I need to do?
    Thanks,

    Looks like it will be good to go for Android

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • How do I place a link to a web site on my screen.  I have done this on my iPhone, but don't remember how I did it.  Now I want to do the same on my iPad.  Thanks

    How do I place a link to a web site on my iPad screen?  I have done this on my iPhone, but I don't remember how I did it.  Getting old I guess.  Thanks.

    In Safari (on the page that you want the link for) press the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it,select the 'Add To Home Screen' option, and then chose what you want to call it (as you can't change the name after it's saved).

  • Why can't I view a secure web site (basic https) on my iPhone?

    I was wondering why my iPhone is unable to connect (at all) to https://c1.cmpro.net? When I attempt to go to this address (this is a server at work I'd like to be able to use via my iPhone), I get the following message: "Safari can't open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server."
    I'm fairly certain that the https config on this server hasn't been set to cause it to exclude iPhones, or that it is in fact doing anything out-of-the-ordinary so far as https configurations are concerned for a web site.
    Any ideas, feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to be able to connect to this site via my iPhone.
    Thanks.

    I think I might have just answered my own question. When accessing the site in question via Safari on my iMac just now, I was warned that the security certificate could not be verified, and asked if I wanted to continue. I'm presuming the same thing is happening on the iPhone, only I'm not getting chance to say that I'd like to continue. Instead, it just stops and basically says, "I can't verify the security of this site, therefore I can't connect to it securely."
    I'll look into the certificate issue for that server and see what can be done to get it resolved.
    I wish that the iPhone had a way to register "trusted sites" in order to circumvent this type of things (I happen to know I can trust this particular site.) It would also be very helpful to be able to install PKI certificates for sites that require those. Oh well, maybe in a future version of the iPhone Mac OS ...
    Thanks for your answers.
