Sean and Alex,

Thanks so much for the replies.

I notice at least a couple of differences between testing my web app
on a real iPhone and testing it on Safari for the desktop:

1.  My app creates a couple of selection lists in which the user
selects or deselects items in each list. On Safari for the desktop,
the checkbox icons do not appear. That is, each little box with or
without a checkmark does not display. I discovered that it is possible
to select or deselect an item by clicking on the right spot, but there
is no visual indication that an item is selected or not selected.

2. The app displays a combo box using the HTML <select> tag. In Safari
for the desktop, the name of the chosen item appears on the screen,
but the drop-down menu image you would expect to see (including a
border and little down arrow) do not appear. As is true in the case of
the checkboxes in number 1 above, if you click in the right place the
menu items appear and one can be selected.

Both items 1 and 2 here seem to have to do with Safari's not properly
displaying some icons. (I found another posting on the web that tends
to confirm this conclusion.)

3. The <select> tag that I just mentioned is implemented differently
on the iPhone than in Safari on the desktop. On the desktop, a drop-
down menu appears. On the iPhone, a wheel appears and takes up the
bottom half of the screen. This difference is not a problem, but is
something to be aware of.
