I usually try to understand first and seek to be understood second. Still, I sense you may be misunderstanding my post about this a few days ago. It might help to go back and put oneself at the timeframe of when the code example came out. There is a lot more info that is common knowledge today that wasn't at that time. My view of their example code started the day it came out. That view hasn't changed simply because members in the developer community have figured things out on their own. I sent my feedback to Apple the day it came out, not just a few days ago when I mentioned it in retrospect. However, I wouldn't be so sure there aren't a few things they have not released that may yet be 'discovered' by developers.
The fact that you and I know what we know can't be compared to someone just starting out on iPhone app development. If Apple had better example code of say the best way to slide panels (since iPhone's javascript is soooo slow), -webkit buttons & input fields (I had never heard/seen -webkit anything prior), different viewport settings (yes, their code shows one way) for different purposes/sizes etc.. It would be the difference between getting proper techniques/processes from the horses mouth and spending hours/days banging one's head against a wall. Maybe they can't release anything today that sheds new light for you or myself on things we can do on the phone. But my head still hurts from that wall. And not having an iPhone in hand to troubleshoot makes that a steel wall that hits back. -=R On 8/9/07 1:37 PM, "craig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think we are in agreement overall.
