for me it is no waste of time, as there are requirements by the customers/users. And if I compare it to daily used desktop apps (Outlook, Word,...) then I see that they have the same behavior which I want for the web based application. For me it's no real difference whether somebody starts an application via a link in the browser or an icon at the desktop, he just has specific requirements, and wishes regarding the usability (which can be different of course, depending on the App and on the user). In this case that the application remembers its last "view state" (the whole rendering depends on the window size).

Well I have found an acceptable solution, but for me it's interesting that there are such limitations. You can write orientation change handlers (and more) for iPad, but you cannot detect maximized state of the window.... > > -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Fri, 20 May 2011 04:26:01 -0700 (PDT) > Von: RobG <[email protected]> > An: The JSMentors JavaScript Discussion Group > <[email protected]> > Betreff: [JSMentors] Re: Detect that window is maximized > > > > On May 18, 11:34 pm, "Konstantin Breu" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am searching for a cross browser implementation which checks whether > the > > current window is maximized?
