When building an iPad HTML5 app, why does the splash page not work correctly in landscape mode?

I have recently completed an HTML5 web app for the ipad and one of the most challenging things about the process was getting the splash screen to work.
I have now succesfully completed the job and the splash screen works, but only under the bizarre condition that the app is first launched in portrait mode. This seems pretty crazy as most people using the ipad for browsing do so in landscape mode.
Has anyone come across this problem and resolved it?
cheers

yes, bare in mind this is an HTML5 Web App and not a native app. so yes I have included code for both landscape and portrait modes.
I install the web app and open in portrait, it works. then close and open in landscape, it works.
if i install the app and open in landscape FIRST... then no splash screen ever works.
This isn't just my problem. I've read about in several forums over the past few days while investigating.
thanks

  • I bought an IPAD air from state and the screen is not working correctly and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    i bought an IPAD air (32 gb wifi only) from USA just one month ago and the screen is not working correctly(picture attached) and right now i'm in Egypt ,can i send my ipad to service in Egypt and the warranty will work in Egypt or what?

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that fixes it ? You might be able to get warranty service in Egypt for your iPad, but the warranty includes :
    IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.
    As it's wifi-only you should have a better chance of it being serviced under warranty, but there are no guarantees, it might depend upon the repairer.

  • When I send a group email why does the address bar not present the names alphabetically?

    I frequently send emails to groups.  Sometimes, for one reason or another, I want to delete one or more contacts from the list that appears in the address bar.  Why does the list not  appear in alphabetical order and is there any way that I can edit my contact lists to make it do so? It means picking through a list one by one rather than scrolling down a list to find a contact in the correct order. 

    Basically I suggest you keep using Eudora.
    Like most of those moving now, they are unlikely to be happy with anything else. But then that is to be expected, you have clung to abondonware for 5+ years after it's replacement. People that dedicated are unlikely to be happy with anything else.
    The Business standard and professionalism are not based on the Eudora way of things. I suggest you stick undisclosed-recipients: into a google search box and get instructions on how to do things for all the major mail clients.
    Of note Thunderbird displays nothing in the To field, even though the undisclosed-recipients: is inserted in the outgoing mail.
    <blockquote>
    I have tried using Bcc, and indeed, the recipients are suppressed, but not as a group. I have to change every recipient address from To: to Bcc: manually.
    </blockquote>
    Perhaps if you use the buttons at the bottom of the contact pane to add the list to BCC you would not have to manually change anything. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/addressing-email#w_selecting-the-entries-from-the-contact-pane
    I am interested however how when you added a list so it appears on multiple lines. All I see is he list name until after I press the send button and look at it in the sent folder.
    Most people use another address entirely in the to:, in conjunction with the BCC list. It verifies the list mail is sent by coming back and you can put whatever you like in the display name of the email address.

  • Why does the sum function not work when I try to add a column of decimal numbers?  The value is always returned as 0.  No problem with whole numbers but decimals do not work!

    just bought a MacBook Air and using Numbers to make a spreadsheet for financial purposes.  The sum function is working ok for whole numbers but when I try to sum a column of 2 decimal place numbers the result always comes back as 0.  Can anyone help?

    Hi laura,
    I suspect that your 2 decimal place numbers are formatted as text. Change the format of the column to currency and see it that works.
    Also You might want to update your profile to reflect your current systems!

  • Why does the scroll sometimes not work?

    I know this question has been posted before, but my problem is slightly different. I have synpatics touchpad with my laptop. Sometimes, the touchpad scrolling does not work, but my actual wireless mouse scrolling works. Sometimes my wireless mouse scrolling does not work, but my touchpad scrolling works. Why does this happen? The problem itself is not consistent.
    The scrolling usually stops suddenly. Scrolling works perfectly fine for a webpage, but then it stops working during the middle of my scrolling. This problem started to bug me.
    The problem still exists with Firefox reinstalled and without add-ons.

    Does this happen on another browser? (eg. Chrome, IE)

  • Why does the software updating not work

    My system refuses to perform a software update. It starts to scan, then only displays a very short blue section on the progress display and then finally quits by refereing to an apparent network problem. However, network checks show that everything is OK.
    Any ideas what it couod be or how to overcome the problem?
    At the same time, also Safari plays up. When changing websites, in many cases they either don't open or it takes a very long time to start opening. When I disconnect from WLAN and then reconnect, the pages start to load.

    Many thanks.
    Itunes can not update due to an Invalid signature
    That one suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download via Apple Software Update.
    Try instead updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Why does the zynga toolbar not work or even show up with Firefox 4.0 beta 12

    I installed the Zynga toolbar last week and it does not show up, but in the properties it shows installed, but I can not get it to show up with the other toolbars.

    Just as a general comments:
    * if you use more than one version of firefox you need to create separate profiles for each, or you probably will run into problems see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions]
    * if you are using the new 'firefox button' click on that and look for the toolbar viewing options, and any other options it lists
    Sorry I do not use Zynga, and do not know whether it is even fully compatible with Firefox 4 beta, alternatively it may even use the apps tabs feature see [[What are App Tabs?]]

  • Why does the icloud syncing not work with iWork?

    I'm getting quite fed up with trying to get this to work. Tried altering all the toggles in the icloud preference on my idevices, nothing makes a difference. I've also deleted files in the hidden library folder on my macs. Didn't make a difference.
    How do i fix this? I have searched all the forums on the web now and nothing makes it work. Does anyone here have a magic solution?

    No, i know the desktop version isn't fully compatible yet. I thought it was obvious it was for the iOS I was using. Sorry about the misunderstanding, should've explained myself better.
    It doesn't work to upload documents from my desktop to iCloud.com either.. It's a real bummer. I'm rather disappointed with apple over this. With Steve's presentation in June I was really enthusiastic about it and now this. Why can't one just be able to sync properly with Dropbox within pages, without the doubling of files that WebDAV gives you.

  • Why does my fire fox not work correctly?

    I was notified on April 30, 2010 that I need to up-date my flash player and my fire fox has not correctly since. It either hangs up in the loading process and crashes altogether. It can take as long as 5 hours to partly load a website. It took 47 min. for Mozilla support to load tonight. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice and 2 seperate comp tech have tried to locate & fix the problem to no avail. Both tech could get fire fox to run for about an hour correctly unless I tried to go to a new website or a new page on the site I was on

    Hello Dorothy.
    This kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
    #run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
    #update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
    #disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
    #enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
    #you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
    Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
    #do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
    #disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
    #check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
    #check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
    #clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.
