Wondering if you can help me with a small problem.
We’ve got a wargame available on iPad and we laid out the rules in Freeway.
The example link above is a cut down example and needs to be viewed on an iPad to understand the issue.
Mobile Safari uses some kind of momentum and acceleration/deceleration when scrolling up and down web pages. But if you try scrolling the main content section its lacking all the Mobile Safari niceties and is really unpleasant to use. We’ve had a lot of complaints about it but can’t figure out what we’ve done wrong.
MobileSafari 5.1 and better have implemented position:fixed. Any sticky-element implementation that uses JavaScript to make up for a lack of position:fixed would need to be tuned up to recognize the newer browsers, or would need to have its test rewritten to actually test for the ability to position something fixed, rather than blindly sniffing the browser’s “navigator” string. Native position:fixed scrolls like glass. The onscroll() event only fires intermittently by comparison, causing the jumpiness you have seen.

When i scroll the page(s) up they tend to “Jump” this only happens on the iPad
What I see is the Fixed header jumping - how did you implement this? There may be a better/smoother way.
As to the Home page - my criticism here would be that there is too much going on/too many scripts. Webticker, Carousel and a Fading Slideshow…
