I’ve been playing around with creating an iPad app looking web site using this in the header

 <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

To get rid of the Safari browser URL bar top. This only works when saving the web page to the home screen icon. Works fine for a single page. However linking to another page breaks and swaps to a normal safari page even though is in the header of this second page.

Any ideas where this is going wrong? Or it is apple just not wanting you to create app looking web pages.

With a bit of hunting around if a user clicks to another page then the browser will revert to the normal view with the URL bar.

Only way round is load all the site in one hit (you could use Hype for example) or use Ajax to load more content.

Answered my own question. :slight_smile:
