Lots of questions today …
What are the main things when a page is designed for iPads?
I did it, 1024x960 and nothing fits right on the screen. Especiall
when I turn the pad …

If you want your page to flex to fill the iPad screen, regardless of
orientation, then your first step will be to build a fluid layout.
Make sure your page is set to Align: None in the Inspector. Then make
sure that all elements on your page have their width set in
percentages rather than in pixels.
Second, understand that iDevices like to resize HTML text to be a more
readable dimension depending on zoom percentage, regardless of how you
have defined that dimension. This can lead to awkward mismatches of
headers to text, and images to text if you use graphical text as
headlines or subheads. Stick to one method of defining text
dimensions, like maybe keywords or ems, and you won’t be nearly as
surprised.

- I have a white line on the right side
- When I turn the pad, nothing fits within the screen
- what is the best width?
- what is the best hight?
- Set the documant iPhone atributes to what? Automatic?

Looks good so far.
This has obviously something to do with the iPhone settings within the document settings

Nathan, that’s really great, but oops
The first downside it does not display mobile content like the iPhone or
iPad does, the pages are clipped. The second downside, it does not
automatically get the iPad specific pages, in other words if you’re on a
real iPad it goes here:
http://dt360.co.uk/mobile/ipad/
If I just put in the base URL:
http://dt360.co.uk/
I get the normal non-mobile site.

There are the Develop > User Agent > Mobile Safari tools in Safari 5 that can help with seeing how you page behaves (remembering to turn off flash etc. in preferences).

Something is wrong with the setting possibilities for mobiles in FW. Since hours I try to setup a page – no chance to bring it 100% by 100% to the screen. 1024 x 768 for ipads. Absolutely lost … even with 100% width …

Hi Nathan,
My point was these sites are already setup to work on iPad and iPhone in FW and work just fine on the actual devices. BUT they don’t work on the emulator.

Still in trouble:
Page size: 980x720
White line 100% wide (anyhow to small on ipad screen)
If I turn the pad, the side is too big. No automatic “resizing”

Uploads do NOT fit to the “first” screen I see. No matter what kind of sitting I use …
They also do not “resize back” when I turn the ipad. No matter what kind of sitting I use …

Are you expecting that blue bar to stretch? It’s currently a graphic so will be fixed in size, regardless of orientation. Make it an HTML item and it will stretch to the dimensions of the viewport/window.
