Mobile web sites???

Is there any way to go to the regular web sites instead of the mobile sites that are scaled back to fit phones?

Since Safari on the iPhone is the mobile version of the browser, a website that provides a mobile version of their website in addition to the full version will redirect you to the mobile version of the website automatically.
Most websites that provide a mobile version of their website in addition to the full version include a preference setting on the website to go to the full version. If not, the website should include a slightly different URL to go to the full version when accessing the website with a mobile browser, which you can bookmark with Safari on the iPhone, or save the full version of the website as a webclip on your iPhone's home screen, which will take you to the full version of the website when the webclip created on your home screen is selected.
If the website does not include a preference setting on the mobile version of the website to go to the full version of the website, contact the website provider for the URL to take you to the full version with a mobile browser, or try a Google search for this.

IOS Safari forces mobile web sites over full web sites

When you access certain sites using Safari on iOS, the web site will detect this and redirect you to a mobile version of the site optimised for mobile devices.
Is there is a way to stop the iOS Safari from declaring itself as an iOS browser?
For example, I use a pecific full website shortcut for a weather radar picture from Accuweather (www.accuweather.com/.......). Now, as soon as I want to see that quick loading radar picture, the Safari iOS browser goes instead to the start page of Accuweather Mobile (m.accuweather.com) and I will not be able to see the full web site picture at all.
I checked in the Settings for Safari but could not find anything helpful for this.

Thanks spm161!
Here is the shortcut http://www.accuweather.com/m/US/wigs.axd?city=Miami&state=FL&w=480&h=640&type=_S IR&geoWidth=400&lat=25.00&lon=-78.50
I live in the Bahamas and this is the best and customizable radar picture I could find. We only have Edge service down here and loading any apps is mostly very slow. That radar picture comparably loads pretty quick and gives me the most detail, too.
But like I said, recently the shortcut gets redirected to m.accuweather.com
I will send the info to the email as you advised above. Thanks for your help!!

Can I avoid being redirected to "mobile" web sites?

Whenever I go on sites like CNN or, lately espn, I am automatically redirected to their mobile site instead. This is not what I want. Can I stop it??

I see the mod's been busy on this thread. I hope we're allowed to post links? Here's your link to the CNN.com non-mobile site:
http://www.CNN.com/index.html
It could be useful if someone would put together a list of links such as this on a website some place for the most popular sites. Or it could be a legitimate iPhone update that people want to be able to disable the auto redirect beause they feel they have enough speed and bandwidth, or otherwise prefer the regular site
I tried using Google to search for the link but wasn't very successful. Why don't you guys post some feedback to your friendly Apple support on the subject?
PS: If your guys are going to charge you for mobile site access, I have a hard time believing they're not going to nickel and dime you for data downloaded for regular sites. Do you have unlimited Internet through your provider? But I guess that's beside the point. Basically, if you don't want to rely on external sources for getting your links, you will have to pay your provider the $36 a year for mobile site access so you can get to the sites you want easily, until Apple upgrades the phone or someone writes an App. Heck, there may be one out there already! You do like your phone otherwise, don't you?

Mobile web site

If I have a website www.examplesite.com, how would I go about
setting up an www.mobile.examplesite.com? Can I register a domain
name like that (www.mobile.examplesite.com)? I don't simply want to
use a separate style sheet for mobile devices, as I want a much
slimmed down version of the current site:) Can they be hosted
together?

it wouldn't be www.mobile.examplesite.com - the "mobile" in
that example is
a subdomain and takes the place of the www. Thus:
http://mobile.examplesite.com
And no, there's no need to register another domain. You just
set up a
subdomain called mobile within your existing domain.

Mobile web app stopped working on iPhone 6

Hi All,
I have a mobile web site that works really well on iPhone 5, iPhone 5s (both running iOS 8) and also on my iPad (iOS 8 as well). However, the 'login' button does not work on the iPhone 6 (e.g. you click it and nothing happens). That exact same website works on the other platforms. This doesn't make sense to me because they are all iOS 8?
The website is written in AngularJS using BootStrap. I know there are some updates to the webview on iOS but surely it is the same across all platforms?
On a side note, the website does work on an iPhone 6 emulator via Browser Stack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gaj

I debugged this on the actual iPhone 6 that was having the problem and I saw that it was failing when the token returned by the server was being stored in session storage.
I called up Apple support and spent a fair bit of time on the phone with them. The page was working on other iPhone 6 devices but not this one. After trying a few different settings and confirming it was working on Chrome, the fantastic Apple support person asked me to see if the page was set to 'private'.
On the bottom right of the safari browser, you click an icon and you can set individual websites to 'private'. Unchecking this made the website work and I could store the token in session storage. It appears that my client accidentally set the website to 'private' and this was causing the issue.
Hopefully this will save someone else some time with a similar issue. Full credit to Apple support who spent over an hour to resolve this issue.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Is it necessary to add? If so, how do I add H Tags to iweb.

I am running 10.6.8 and using iweb for my web site. After several SEO analysis they all indicate I need H1-6 header tags. After looking at the source code I see there are none in iweb. Are they necessary to add? Why would one add these tags and how do I add H Tags to iweb? And are there examples to look at? I am slowly learning about simple web design and assumed that iweb was stand alone without having to write code. Is this one of the reasons iweb is no longer supported? Thanks for looking at this!

A simple text page like this:
Heading
    sub heading
          text paragraph ....
Is traditionally represented by html tags like:
<h1>Heading</h1>
     <h2>sub heading</h2>
          <p>text paragraph ... </p>
I would guess that the use of h1-h6 tags helps search engines to understand the structure of a page as the tags imply a certain structure.
This can be compared to more generic tags like <div> that could represent any kind of content - and may be what iWeb uses (you'll have to check yourself).
I would generally recommend that you use some kind of up to date blog/site building tool, perhaps Wordpress or Squarespace (I haven't used either one myself) that support current web technologies - this should reduce your SEO issues and make it easier to properly support mobile/tablet users.

Menus on some web sites don't work

I have just activated 2 new Lumia 520 phones with Windows 8 mobile. (updated to Amber)
When browsing the web, the menus don't work on a couple of web sites that I have written.
These menus use Javascript to show drop down lists and to navigate to the appropriate pages. When you click a link on the menu, the drop down menu appears for a couple of seconds, then disappears. Even in the couple of seconds that the dropdown appears, it can not be clicked.
Interestingly, these web sites also use javascript to open overlay pages when a thumbnail picture is clicked, This action works.
These menus have been regression tested in all the major browsers and they work on a PC, Mac, iPad and Android but seem to fail on Windows 8 mobile.
I searched and can't see any option that allows me to enable or disable Javascript.
Here are links to those 2 sites:
http://www.garynancy.com/index.html
http://www.chisholmtv.com/
What am I missing?

The menuscript (popupmo.js) you are using will not work.
I'd suggest you take this to http://developer.nokia.com where you will likely find more help as this is a general user to user support platform.

Since I upgraded to ios5 safari can't handle the java setting on an internal work web site. When i click on a field it appears to be uncalibrated. How can I add another browser or go back to ios4 till a fix is found?

My current work around is turning java on and off, but all fields are still not active. Please advise. Thank you.

JavaScript is a rather flexible language and not always totally cross-browser, so what works with one browser may not work with another, or even in some cases a revision of one that worked before. Absent corrections to the web site, if the site isn't working on your iPad now, you will indeed probably need a different browser. There's no supported way to downgrade your version of iOS, but there are other web browsers available in the iTunes Store, including Opera Mini and iCab Mobile. One of those might be happier with the JavaScript on your web site. Opera is free, so you might want to try that first.
Regards.

My i web version is 2.0.4. Can I publish my i web site directly to a FTP server address?

After Apple stopped hosting with Mobile Me, I moved hosting for my i web built web site to Network solutions. I was told by a Network solutions technician that I can publish an updated iweb site directly to a FTP server address. But I do not see that as an option with my 2.0.4 i web version. Can I update my
version of i web? Or do I need to purchase a later version of i web for this function?

You can open your iWeb 2 site in iWeb 3 and continue as before with the addition of FTP. However you should be able to upload with no problem in CyberDuck or Transmit - both are easy to use and reliable. Note that when you publish to a local folder you should usually upload the contents of the folder to the server, not the folder itself, unless you want the folder name (which must have no spaces in it) to appear in the URL.
Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service.

Web site hosted video won't play in Safari on MAC.

I have a web application that runs in a web browser. One of its features is the ability to embed a video clip in a web page hosted on this application.
If I create a web page using the HTML5 <video> tag and an H.264 encoded MP4 file video clip, I can browse to this page from my web server and see the video. However, if I launch this same HTML page within my application (window.open(URL, _blank, ...)) it displays the page but refuses to play the video. This happens in Safari 5.1 on my Mac OS10.7 and on all browser tested on my iPad2 (Safari, Mecury, and Dolphin). However, the same HTML code plays fine through my application on all browsers on Windows (including Safari for Windows) and all other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, and Opera) on the Mac. It also plays through the default Android browser and the Opera Mobile browser on my Android tablet.
Here is a sample of the HTML that I am using to play this video...
<video height="713" width="950" autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls" poster="WhiteScreen.png">
     <source src="tradeintradeup.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
     <source src="tradeintradeup.webm" type="video/webm" />
     <source src="tradeintradeup.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
     <div id-noupdate>
          <p>Video format not supported by this browser</p>
     </div>
</video>
When the video does not play, I do NOT get the text in the div, I see an area where the video should be (so the browser is recognizing the <video> tag) but the video never loads or plays.
What am I missing?
Thank you for your assistance.
Dave Smith

Michael,
Thank you for your response.
I am aware of the autoplay restriction on iOS devices. What I see in my iPad(2) is an empty area of the window with no control to touch/click to start the video playing.
In Safari on my Mac, I do see the control bar with the rewind/replay and the play buttons; however, the word "Loading..." is displayed forever in the bar. Again, the browser recognizes the video tag and creates the control to play the clip, but the video never actually starts playing. It appears that it hangs trying to download/stream the content.
I have other pages that embed audio clips using the HTML5 <audio> tag. These play fine, as expected, with Safari on my Mac and on my iPad. Yes, I have to manually start the audio on the iPad, but it runs fine once started and autoplays on the Mac. Of course, these audio files are much smaller than the video files that will not play.
I have looked at the codec used for the video to see if it might not be compatible with the Mac Safari browser, but the video plays directly from my web site. It only fails to play when launched in a pop-up window by my web application. I realize that this points to a problem in my application. I am trying to get some ideas about where to look in my application for the problem.
Thanks again for your time and your input.
Dave Smith

Where are the iWeb files held in relation to your Web Site?

Having had various problems with my computer I have had to reformat hard drive 1 and rebuild all the apps. Hopefully I still have all my data on another drive that I can bring in to some of the apps.
So I had to reload iWeb and of course the website I previously created is not seen y the new version.
Q1. - Where would all the files relating to the Web site have been stored (hopefully I can copy them back to the main drive)
Q2. If I can't find them, is there any way of reconstructing the website on my computer from the copy published to Mobile Me?
Thanks
Douglas

I guess you want to keep your domain file on a separate drive.
As you probably know the application stores your website data in a domain file. The default location is Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
Its essential the you keep and up to date backup of this file.
Create a folder and paste a copy of your domain file(s) into it. Put a copy of this folder into your Home folder and also onto an external drive. Store it anywhere you want.
Instead of launching iWeb from the application, go to the folder on the external drive and double click the domain file.
This will launch iWeb and, when you save and quit, the changes will be reflected in the domain file in the folder and not the one in the default location.
