Since there isn't really :hover support on iPhones, when you select the "Home" or "My Studio" tab, it's impossible to click on a link from said tab's sub nav since those tabs are assigned a URL. (The sub nav shows up, but only for a brief second since the page reloads).

Therefore I propose the following change to those two tabs for iPhones/iTouches (only).

One tap/click on the tab shows the sub navigation. If the tab is selected, another tap/click will load the default URL assigned to the tab.

In other words, something like this.

if user agent contains "iPhone", "Mobile" and "Safari" //iPhone is in the iPod user agent
     home_tab.href = 'void(0)'
     home_tab.onclick: if(home_tab_selected == true) location.href = 'link'
                    else home_tab_selected = true
end if

... except in working javascript

I've noticed that too. I propose that you use the skin v2.1 It was all those features without the hover or the dropdown.

Yeah, same thing happens on my PDA - Nokia N810. Cool to have a fix though

[Conor]

You'd think PDA's and iPod would know to do that...

uhh, really? choosing a different skin doesnt mean the problem is fixed

and v2.1 isnt all the features of v2, its all the features of v1.

how would an iphone be able to hover over anything? putting your finger over a link clicks it. lol



-sent from my ipod touch-

You could leave the finger over it.

Then it brings up the window which gives you three options - "Save Image", "Open Link" or "Cancel"

[Conor]

Mine doesn't. Is your's 1G or 2G?

What happens if you press cancel? Do the links show? It might still trigger the hover event.

2G

Simie - I was excited to try it... and then it didn't work.

The easiest way is to click on the tab and then hit cancel to stop the page from refreshing, haha

I think the only thing that could be done is the original suggestion of having the nav slightly modified for the iphone/itouch.
