A friend of mine was looking for ways to optimize his website for the iPhone and other portable devices, and this helps a great deal. Thank you! But, please refrain from using uppercase tags, lowercase tags are the w3-standard and are the only way tags should be written. Also, please load JavaScript from an external file, so that when a browser does not support JavaScript, it is not loaded. Examples of the benefits of including external files such as JavaScript/CSS are: preserving bandwidth if the file is not necessary, but it's also possible to use one script on multiple pages-- again, preserving bandwidth as well as a few other benefits I shall not discuss here.

How to include an external javascript file? Simple.

Create a new document in Notepad or any other plain text editor. Copy the code that was mentioned in the article above, and save it. Save it by going to ‘Save as..’ and selecting ‘all files’, not just .txt or other whatever document-type. Now put between the and the tags of your website. It will now load the external JavaScript file. :)

For more tips, tweaks and tutorials I will refer you to my blog.

All 3 need to be closed by ending the tag />. Doesn't cause a problem in my iPhone but it does when testing in Safari with the user agent set to iPhone 1.3 which is currently the most recent agent you can set in Safari on the PC. Thanks for the meta tag examples tho, definitely helped me. Just a quick pointer to anyone who is having problems with the 3 meta viewport example. All 3 need to be closed by ending the tag />.

The iPhone does not support Java applications of any kind. We hope that helps. -Admin Hi Jeff,

Though your comment does not pertain to this article, the problem is that your image scroller is written in Java, not JavaScript. The iPhone does not support Java applications of any kind.

We hope that helps.

That javascript looks like it's missing the open and close javascript tags. I tend to follow instructions as precisely as possible, but there is a lot of missing steps here.
