Fine, but just because you don't want to do it doesn't mean no one does. > I discovered that you can actually scroll in an iframe on iPhone using two > finger scrolling.

Yes, I learned that some time ago (18 months?). > You can do it yes, but nobody does since it's not user friendly to do so. But "someone" (me) does. If iframes were widely used, users would quickly learn to use them (but users don't because iframes aren't used for various reasons). As I sit here typing on my MacBook, I realise I use two finger scrolling all the time. And three finger swipes for forward and backward navigation. How the hell did I learn that if it's so damn hard? I'm using Google Groups and scrolling the iframe using two fingers. Gasp! Oh, but it's a laptop - sorry. I forgot that iPhone users are far more inept at learning to use different interfaces. > Same for zooming in a contact list, nobody would do it. Read the thread - *I* want to do it, and I'm sure there are many others. > Same logic applies for a webapp. Keep it simple, obvious, quick So don't disable zooming! I just don't understand why developers don't want to let users zoom. It is utterly inconsequential to the design of a page layout. Just let users do it if they want. Has anyone ever had a complaint from a user because zooming a page made their leg fall off? Or the sky fall? I can see a Pythonesque sketch now... the Black Knight screams "come on you chicken, come back and let me zoom the screen!". Do you want to disable zooming for laptop and desktop users too? Fortunately you can't. I don't see the blogosphere swamped with laments about how zooming is destroying application usability for other devices, so why on earth disable it for iPhone? Don't tell me - let me guess. Because you can. :-( -- Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
