Why doesn't site look good in iPhone?

Hi, all. I’m working up a site for a potential client. It’s pretty basic (and not yet upgraded to FW 6.) She likes the draft, but before I go further we need to come to terms, etc.

Anyway, everything seems to appear okay in Mac and Windows browsers, but it doesn’t look right in the iPhone. Is there something special I should be doing to make that happen?

Also, is this the kind of basic site that might work well with relative layout? Fear has stopped me from trying that, but if I understand how things work, it could be an advantage.

(Oh. Despite marking all my posts to send me an email when someone responds, I never do get emails. Some other weirdness I apparently need to sort out.)

Thanks in advance.

Apart from the video caption running behind the Sponsor box it looks OK.

Mobile webkit will resize smaller text which I think is your issue here but RPL may well help you.

Thank you. Actually, the text on the right side shouldn’t be visible lower than the caption beneath the video.

I’m not familiar with mobile webkit. Can you explain that further? Is it an action?

Finally, how would RPL help? I guess I’m still not quite clear on the concept. I don’t have enough opportunity to use Freeway to keep up the way I’d like.

It is the Browser that Safari for iOS is based on.

The RPL action creates/simulates an inline layout and helps stop layered html items from overlapping at larger text sizes.
