IPhone web development emulation?

I am not sure if this forum is the right place to get some help.
I would like to create a specific CSS designed for iPhone (and iPod Touch) on the Internet (web browsing). As I understand that Apple and Adobe have not reached an agreement and are playing stupid politics over technicalities. I don't know if that is true.
But I would like to go with alternative approach on my own. But I am not sure how to achieve this.
Anyone offer some heads up and some sample code I can look into.
And I would appreciate some "pointers" with frame of reference to achieve this task to write special codes that perform this task automatically when iPhone browse certain website coded with iPhone.
Anyway, thanks.
Cheers, Brian

Shortly after I posted about iPhone emulation the other day, I went and researched this on my own and found the same information you gave to me.
The bad news is that the downloaded file size itself was pretty darn. I am not really impressed with that approach. But I find the information related to workaround is pretty good.
Thanks!
Cheers, Brian

It is not working getting error “Network connection error”. Even when I tried to download the same from the Browser (Safari and FireFox) it is not working .
Is there any other way to download the same from Network – Please Guide .
Problem – 2 :
I also want to use iUI kit for iPhone web application Development .
But I am not able to understand how to proceed for the same .
Does iUI kit work only with Eclipse . If yes is there any specific version which we need to download ?
Please forward the link which gives me details about “How develop web apps for iPhone using iUI kit”
Looking forward for your valuable inputs .

Web development for iPhone

I'm looking to develop a web site for use by the iPhone. Is there a best practice around development? Should I be detecting and redirecting to a dedicated location (http://iphone.name.com), or detecting and using an iPhone friendly CSS file?

Apple offers extensive documentation and guidance for application and web development for the iPhone, and an iPhone software development kit will be available early next year.
You can register at no charge to be an 'entry level' developer and gain access to the iPhone Development Center by going to this page. The iPhone Reference Library, Tech Talk Videos and sample code projects are all available once you have logged in using your Apple ID.

Iphone web app

i am thinking of developing a web app for the iphone. if i do not plan on charging for it do i have to go through the approval process? can people start using it immediately. i do realize that it would not be on itunes but that is okay with me.
thanks,
hb

Hi,
No need to do approval process for iphone web apps. But if u want to advertise ur apps on iPhone users through Apple Store then u have to register with Apple Developer Center.

How to setup AutoFill as a web developer for IPAD (html)

Hey all,
This is my 1st post on Apple's Forums. Not sure if i can get web-develment info here on Safari but gonna try.
So I trying to get AutoFill working as a Web Developer across different browser platforms for a contact form webpage.
We are esp interesting about mobile to make it easier to fill out hte long contact page on mobile phones which would improve our website's success.
I got IPHONE AutoFill working on a simple HTML contact form.
But on the same webpage form, IPAD I'm having a heck of a time trying to get the AutoFill working.
My User Agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Ipad: CPU OS 7_1_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/537.51.2 (KTHML... Like Gecko) Version/7.0 Mobile/11D201 Safari/9537.53
Here are all the bases I cover for Safari and other browsers:
1. Some use regex on the input name attr. so like an attribute of <input name="firstname"/> or fname,etc helps some browsers figure out the context for AutoFill.
2. Chrome uses a nice context attribute 'autocompletetype="given-name" so dont need to depend on the browser to figure it out via Regexes. also threw on x-autocompletetype maybe if some browsers are viewing it as experimental and decide to implement it as an 'experimental' attribute. This works well for Chrome/Desktop browser.
3. Also added Placeholder text as some places recommended it.
4. The label's text is also named nice if some browsers do a regex on the label text to provide context <label for="firstname">First Name</label> <input id="firstname" name="firstname" /> (dont know of any specific browsers that do this... just saying, all bases are covered)
Here is my super basic form that covers all of those:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36600570/html-autofillform-test/index.html
Yet on the IPAD, I don't see the Autofill button on the keyboard when I click on the 'First Name' input like how IPHONE has it (and yes Autofill is turned on in the Settings->Safari->Passwords&Autofill area, and right below that 'on' setting, I picked my contact to associate AutoFill in which has my name/address/phone/email info).
Why does Ipad-Safari not AutoFill like its supposed to. Do others get that AutoFill button on their IPAD testing the website above and if so, what version are you using (can get version by going to http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/)
Thanks for any advice!,
Ari

Don't think there's an automatic way to do this, but if you tap the top right corner of your screen it should take you straight to connectivity and you can disconnect wifi there ? Also why do you want to disconnect from the web, is it to save battery or data charges ? A 'smartphone' is of little use without a data package !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

GUI iPhone web app builder like iWeb

Does anyone know if someone has built a GUI iPhone web app builder?
I am very interested in building an iPhone site in conjunction with the development of my new site http://www.thecutsquad.com , my main interest in this is so that there is an optimized site for the iphone without having to load all of the rich media which I will be hosting.
So if I could build an iPhone specific website like http://app.getleaflets.com/ where I can host content media optimized for iPhone viewing over EDGE and people who are browsing using the iSafari (is that what we are calling it these days?) are redirected automatically without having to type in a specific web address, although I do not mind having a sub-domain which hosts this.
So, anyone know of anything, or is anyone interested in helping with the development of such an application?
Also, what would I need, if no application exist like this, to start coding web 2.0 and Ajax? I am new to all of this web development stuff, but I learn extremely quick when I am pointed in the right direction.
Thanks a ton,
Gabe

a web building application that is similar to iWeb, except that it builds web 2.0 pages.
I'm not sure that phrase has much concrete meaning. For the iPhone you often essentially try create the "javascript in a web page" equivalent of a desktop app. You get the javascript from libraries or compose it yourself with a text editor, and integrate it into the html created by any web editor.
Here is an example I happen to be familiar with, a virtual keyboard for other languages, where you can examine the source (to get everything, download as a webarchive and folderize it).

Why are iPhone/iPad Development courses so expensive?

Hi. I recently wanted to start learning about how to make iPhone/iPad apps after having a couple of good ideas for ones. Unfortunately, while I am very Mac proficient and computer savvy, I don't have any experience with coding. It appears you need some basic knowledge of coding to start making apps. But when I search around for online courses, or community college courses for iPhone/iPad development, they are all incredibly expensive, ranging from $1000 to $3,000.
I'm just wondering if anyone can help me understand why these courses are so pricy.
It would seem the best (cheapest) way to learn is to sift through all the free resources on the net and buy a book or two. Does anyone else have any good ideas? I think it would be very helpful to be in a classroom course, but there's no way I can afford thousands of dollars for something I essentially want to do as a hobby.
Thank you!

You would need to ask this of the training company or school offering the course. But it's not inexpensive to hire teachers who know enough about development to teach a class, nor to provide a computer lab in which students can work.
If you want to do this just as a hobby, then the printed materials and web sites offering development help, along with the free course Stanford offers through iTunes U:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=395605774
would be the way to go. If you have no experience in programming, you'll need to start by learning at least the rudiments of the C programming language before you dive into iOS development.
Regards.

Try signing out, then back in on your phone: Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in. If that doesn't work, reset your password here: https://iforgot.apple.com.

Not able to connect VS Web Developer Express through instant client 10

I just spent 10 hours attempting to connect Web Developer Express 2010 to an Oracle 10g database. In the end the solution was beyond simple, but with the existing threads there is a lot of talking around the problem. I’m posting this in case it might help someone else.
Obtain the Oracle instant client software that will work for your database. You will only need the basic package.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-100365.html
Extract the contents to a temp location on your hard disk
Create a directory for the application – it could be anything, but here is what I used
C:\instantclient
Copy the extracted files into the directory you just created.
Right click on my computer and choose properties
Under advanced and environment variables you will need to add the directory you created above to the system variables PATH. You will need to create a new system variable called TNS_ADMIN and put the same c:\instantclient path in it.
Create the file tnsnames.ora under the c:\instantclient directory and put your customized entry in it. Below is an example.
tnsnams.ora file contents
<Alias for this tnsnames entry> =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <Your Oracle Server>)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = <Your database instance>)
It’s a good idea to restart your system after this installation.
In web developer express use the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB.
Here is the key piece of information!!
Under server name you need to use the alias from the tnsnames.ora file entry. If you do not do this it will not pick up the SERVICE_NAME parm and will give you some goofy error like:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener could not resolve SERVICE_NAME given in connect descriptor
or
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor

I tested it with a couple different usernames and a couple different browsers and it works fine on my end.. but none the less it is happening to him. This is the second time it happened to two different clients.
??? Any ideas ??? Anyone else had this happen?

Here's the setup on the two machines in particular...
Machine #1:
XP Pro
Was IE7, now latest FF
No antivirus
Firewall – Windows Firewall, Downloaded AVG free trial ver., but not installed
Machine #2:
XP Pro
IE7
Again, No AV… had Kaspersky… but uninstalled it
Windows Firewall
Maybe that could be of some assistance... not seeing anything that could possibly block or inhibit the ICE. Each machine is independent of the other, separate networks, different locations, JavaScript enabled, no cookie blockers, etc.
....STUMPED!!!

Any suggestions???

Java Console in Netscape 7.1 browser under Tools- Web Development

There must be something wrong: with my Netscape 7.1,
under Tools->Web Development
I do not Java Console (JavaScript Console is there).
How to solve this, please help. Thank you.
(I use j2sdk1.4.2_04), and did use in /usr/local/netscape/plugins
ln -s /home/xxxx/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc-32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

There must be something wrongOH NOES!!!!!!
Did you try looking in the systray? With recent versions of java, you right click the coffe cup icon in the systray to get at the VM info. That's because the sun VM is a system-wide thing, not linked into the browser so much any more.
If that doesn't work, do any java things? (ie applets)

Hostnames with local web development environment

I'm running the latest version of OS X Server 2.0.23 on Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and am trying to get set up to use X Server as a local web development environment.
When I went through the steps of installing X Server, I used the hostname "jb.local". By enabling the websites feature, and pointing my browser to jb.local, I was able to see the default welcome page, and thought everything was going well. However, I can't figure out how to add additional hosts to this domain (i.e. drupal.local, or wordpress.local) without modifying my hosts file.
Do I now need to setup DNS in the server and set my Mountain Lion client to use it or something, or is there some better way that I'm missing?

When I was installing Server, it guessed the .local extension, (which we are using as the name of our local subnet) but not the whole hostname "jb.local". I added that myself. This machine is not registered as "jb.local" anywhere in our internal DNS.
This confuses me because pinging jb.local correctly resolves to the internal IP address of this machine on our network. So how is this resolving? There is no entry for this in my hosts file, and our internal DNS has no record of the hostname "jb.local".
This hostname was invented during the installation of the Server app, so there must be some communication between this machine, and the server app, that is resolving this hostname correctly, but I can't find anything on it.
