iPhone
At it, big time

“Emmy’s Closet” (a paper-doll app), “Chicken Scratch” (urban chicken app), a yet-unnamed NPAA collaboration, and a photo-video app for local businesses (a template model).
This is getting crazy.
Searchy 2 for iPhone
May 4th
Over on the Searchy Web site (http://searchy.chadedge.com/index.php/blog) I am showing a brief demo of the new Searchy 2 for iPhone.
A 100% rewrite, tons faster, cleaner, and with some rich highlighting tweaks that I feel puts Searchy far ahead of other iPhone browsers.
But that’s all my opinion – what’s yours?
a problem with jQuery plugin “scrollTo”
Mar 18th
Please note: with the video below, you may want to play/pause throughout in order to read my notes (and to understand what the hell I’m talking about).
using jQuery plugin “scrollTo” locks a UIWebview position from chadedge on Vimeo.
I’m working with the jQuery plugin “scrollTo” and I’ve come across a problem:
When I fire the $.scrollTo('.a_class_item',{duration:'800',axis:'y'}); the Web page I’m viewing on the iPhone does scroll correctly (very nice!).
However, once that first position has been scrolled to, control of the Web page is toast – meaning, if I try and touch-drag anywhere else, when I release my finger the Web page “snaps” back to the first scrolled postion.
I cannot duplicate this in any browser (in a desktop browser, the behavior is as expected, again, very nice interaction).
If I default back to a window.scrollTo(x,y);, then the Web page retains control and the UI responds correctly – it seems that the scrollTo plugin is “locking” the page position.
Any ideas on how to “release” that lock so I can scroll, resize, (even scroll to a different area on the page)?
