Hello Pamela;

The IPhone's web browser does not redraw elements constantly unless you force it to. A scroll on the IPhone is not the same as a scroll in a desktop browser. The IPhone processor is kind of slow, so constant updating of elements on the page cause it to bog down.

I learned this when I was using JQuery with a project and was having some images resize based on which one was on top of a stack.

For instance if you turn your IPhone sideways, it redraws and puts your footer div and image in the correct place. Turn it back to portrait and again it puts it in the correct place.

I have not tried it, but you could change your item to relative positioning and see if that fixes the issue. Would be nice to have a float:bottom option, but that does not exist yet.

I'm looking for a fix for a "fixed" footer issue on iPhone. I'm creating a page for the iPhone and theoretically (because it has been debugged and there are no errors) it should view the SAME on the iPhone as it does on Safari for Mac as I found this: Safari on iPhone and iPod touch uses the same Web Kit engine as Safari on the computer desktop. With the Safari Web Kit engine, you can develop sophisticated Web 2.0 sites and applications that impress and delight iPhone users.

Where would I find a fix for this website "fixed footer" issue. It views fine on Safari for Mac, so why not Safari for iPhone?
