If that is true (and maybe it is, but I haven't seen any research to back it up), then users are extremely unlikely to accidentally zoom instead of pan (I don't think they were ever likely to, even if they aren't just using a thumb). So that's one more reason for *not* disabling zooming. So far the only reason to do so is because the page author wants to keep a precise layout on the screen, regardless of how users actually want to use the application. So for the sake of one person's vanity, every single user of that page can't zoom, regardless of the additional functionality that would provide for at least some of those users. And no one seems to feel this is necessary for non-mobile users, who can zoom text and images individually, or can zoom the entire screen. Sorry, but I am really struggling to understand the need to remove functionality provided for free for no substative reason. -- Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
