[twitter-dev] Re: status link not passing text to Mobile Safari

The mobile version of twitter.com does not support auto filling the status
field because of clickjacking issues.

 I have a very simple share on twitter button on my website. When
 clicked, it should pass both a link to the site and some text to the
 status box on Twitter.com.

 And, on the desktop, it does that just fine.

 But in Mobile Safari, while the link launches twitter.com nothing is
 passed to the status box, rendering the button pretty much useless.

 Since the major use of my site is on the iPhone this is obviously an
 issue for me. Here's the code I'm passing:

 a href=http://twitter.com/home?status=MyTextGoesHere: http://foo.bar;

 Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that info.

So how then to go about it in the most straightforward fashion?
