CSS frames

I am a big fan of creating websites with CSS. You may know, that is possible to have a frame like behaviour without having real frames using the iframe tags.

The secret is to put some divisions at the right place and to give the right properties. It results with only having one section scrollable and the rest of the site will remain and keep a great design. A good inspirating example is given by Stuart A Nicholls.

I have made a design using that technique and was testing it on the iPhone. But anyhow I did not know how to scroll the scrollable content. By accident I took two fingers, and that’s it. You can scroll those areas by using two fingers!

Blackberry

Currently I am working on a project which needs to fit on a iPhone Blackberry, because the technican engineers do not need a laptop to complete the task, but is absolutely required to track their work.

That RIM baby is actually a powerful device, but it disappoints me in not even understanding simple JavaScript commands and CSS properties like the meanwhile everywhere used display:none.

At the beginning of that project, I initially intended to create a rich and and easy to use Ajax interface, but now I have to do it with step by step forms.

Currently, I have reached now page number 13 (today is Friday, the 13th) with each of a maximum containing five fields fitting the display size and content.

I found a nice Blackberry HTML reference which helped me out a lot with the development. Maybe it will help out you, too.

By the way, the iPhone is the best mobile device to display internet content. Everything I tried until now was working so well. Good work, Apple!

The new Blackberry series hopefully becomes more CSS/JavaScript power.
