Left positioned item on iOS gets larger on iframe - ios

I've implemented a simple left-pull burger menu in a mobile webpage that lives inside an iframe. However, it's behaving strangely on iPhones. We are using Bootstrap for the general page layout and stuff.
Using WeInRe I've noticed the following behaviour: in an iframe with 320px in fixed width, if I add, say, left: 50px to the body of the page inside it, this body moves 50px to the left just fine, but also starts to display 370px in width, instead of 320px as before.
The problem is worse: as the correct left value is a percentage, the body gets that bigger width, and after that the left is recalculated, making the menu larger than the viewport.
What the hell is happening here? Is this some sort of known bug of Mobile Safari?
Unfortunately, there's no public available code for this issue yet...
This is the relevant code:
.offcanvas {
left: 0;
position: relative;
}
.offcanvas.active {
left: 75%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
background-color: #5c008a;
top: 0;
left: -75%;
width: 75%;
height: 100%;
}
.offcanvas.active .sidebar {
left: 0;
}
$('[data-toggle="offcanvas"]').click(function() {
$('.offcanvas').toggleClass('active');
});
<body class="offcanvas">
[...]
<div class="sidebar">[...]</div>
[...]
</body>
Here's a sample, based on a series of side menus from a tutorial (click the left or right push options).

Handle the safe area in Chrome browser on the iPhone X family

For the website that I am managing, I am handling the iPhone X family screen safe area using the new safe-area-inset-<position> and this is working fine on Safari browser as you can see here:
With the following code:
/* white container for the home bar that has an height only on devices that read the safe area to cover the transparency around that bar */
.ctc-container {
background: $white;
display: block;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
min-height: env(safe-area-inset-bottom);
z-index: 100;
}
/* chat and phone number container are positioned at the bottom of the safe area (for devices that read it) or at the bottom of the page */
.ctc-box {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom);
}
Now the problem is on Chrome browser because apparently it is not handling the safe area yet, so the chat and phone number box is overlapped by the iPhone home bar.
Is there any CSS solution that can be applied for Chrome on iPhone X family devices to handle the safe area?
Have you added viewport-fit=cover to your meta[name="viewport"]?

Even after setting proper z-index it's not working on ipad safari.

I have really bad situation. I have my custom div which I m showing under page. The only issue I have at moment that it's not working on iPad. The overlay covers the popup even after I have proper z-index to both element.
This issue only facing with iPad safari. On other browser it's working fine. I found one solution where I need to shift my popup next to or near by overlay div which is not possible for me due to binding context of knockout.js
The issue snap
here as you can see the attached image the opened calender is behind the overlay gray div.
Below is the html structure where the higlited is the calender container & at last overlay div.
Let me know if some can suggest me some good idea to deal with this.
It seems like if your fixed element is inside an other fixed element that has lower z-index than overlay it will stay behind it even if the element itself has a higher z-index. So you have to find that higher fixed element and change it's z-index to something higher.
.overlay {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
z-index: 4;
}
.lower {
position: fixed;
z-index: 2
}
.popup {
position: fixed;
border: 1px solid black;
background: white;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
z-index: 100;
}
<div class="lower">
<div class="popup"></div>
</div>
<div class="overlay"></div>
It's also happen for me in Safari, simply I solve it by remove overflow:hidden from parent div.

Scroll on iOS is jumpy for overflow elements (lightwindow)

I have a light window with fixed position at 100% width and height on the mobile with overflow-y auto as light window is larger then most mobile displays. Following are two css classes that i have
.noscroll { // add to body when the lightwindow shows to prevent body scrolling
overflow: hidden !important;
}
.lightwindow {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow-y: auto;
}
It is working fine except on iPhone the scrolling is very choppy and jumpy, I would like it to scroll just like regular smooth scrolling on iPhone.
Thanks
You are looking for momentum type scrolling for touch devices like iphone where a flick of the finger sends the web page scrolling and it keeps going until eventually slowing down and stopping. Chris Cover has a solution explained here
To apply it to your code, you should add -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; your lightwindow class and also overflow-y: scroll; so it will become something like the following
.lightwindow {
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow-y: scroll; /* has to be scroll, not auto */
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}
Hope this helps.

HTML5 to implement mobile app tabbar and titlebar

I'm creating an iOS app with partially native code and partially html5. A splash screen followed by a webview, that's all for native code, the rest of the content are implemented by html5 and will be shown in the webview. In the webview, the page is divided to 3 parts, titlebar on the top, content in the middle and tabbar on the bottom. I want the titlebar and tabbar each stay in their position, that is the very top and the very bottom in the webview no matter how the user scrolls the page, the content is scrollable of course, now how can I achieve this? What I have so far is the following, but when keep scrolling until hit the very top/bottom there will be a white gap at the top of the titlebar or at the bottom of the tabbar, like most iOS app, how can I avoid this?
.mobile-titlebar {
height: 44px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #border-color;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.page-content {
padding-top: 44px;
padding-bottom: 49px; /* Height of the footer element */
}
.mobile-tabbar {
height: 49px;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
I managed to figure it out by adding the following line in my iOS native code:
self.webview_main.scrollView.bounces = NO;
Hope this helps someone.

jquery mobile - forcing panel open on wider screens

I've been trying to test my jquery mobile app on multiple devices. I currently have a panel that is opened via swipe or clicking on a 'menu' button.
However, on wide screens, the app just looks funky. WAY too wide. I understand this is meant for mobile, but, why not format it for ipads/surface/androids as well?
To do this, I'd like to shorten the width by requiring the panel to be open at all times when the width exceeds a specific value.
I've dug through the documentation, and the closest thing I found was:
class="ui-responsive-panel" from the following link: http://view.jquerymobile.com/master/docs/widgets/panels/panel-fixed.php
After adding it to my page header, I noticed that I can't 'swipe' the menu away when the window is wide. When I shrink the window (either on a pc browser, or by rotating the device), it can be swiped.
Is anyone familiar with this, and willing to shed some light?
I'm facing the same problem. I want the panel to stay open when the user turns the device in landscape mode (tablets) or if the window is wider than a specific width at the very beginning.
Unfortunately I did not find any solutions and the jQuery Mobilele example for responsive panels in this case.
So I found a way by using some javascript but I'm not happy with this solutions since a pure CSS solution with media queries would be nicer.
However, here is my "workaround" solution.
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onresize = function (event) {
if (window.innerWidth > 800) {
window.setTimeout(openPanel, 1);
}
if (window.innerWidth < 800) {
window.setTimeout(closePanel, 1);
}
};
function closePanel() {
$("#mypanel").panel("close");
}
function openPanel() {
$("#mypanel").panel("open");
}
$( "#mypanel" ).on( "panelcreate", function( event, ui ) {
if (window.innerWidth > 800) {
openPanel();
}
if (window.innerWidth < 800) {
closePanel();
}
});
</script>
So if the window inner width is higher than 800, the panel opens; if it is lower than 800 it closes. Furthermore the window.onresize function is required to provide the same functionality in case the user turns the device from portrait mode to landscape mode.
Hope it helped. But I'm still looking for a better solution ;)
I found a css-only solution for that issue that is much simpler.
In the media query for your responsive panel #media (min-width:55em){...} add/overwrite the following css classes:
.ui-panel-closed { width: 17em; }
.ui-panel-content-wrap.ui-body-c.ui-panel-animate.ui-panel-content-wrap-closed{ margin-left:17em; }
The second class might be different to yours depending on the swatch you are using; in this case it is "C". However, just take the content wrap class that wraps all your header,content, footer area.
In my example I used a panel with data-display="reveal" data-position="left" If you want it appearing on the right hand side just change margin-left:17em to margin-right:17em
If you want the panel to behave like "overlay", just forget about the second class i posted...
Best regards
I am facing the problem right now and I found the solution of mJay really useful. However it would be great to use media queries instead, something like this perhaps:
#media (min-width:35em){
.ui-panel{
width:30em;
}
.ui-panel-close { width:30em; }
}
Below is my "CSS" solution. What you need to know: mnuMenu is the id of the panel that I want to always have visible on the left side of the screen and lnkMenu is the id of the a tag for the button which normally shows the panel on smaller screen widths.
#media all and (min-width: 900px)
{
#mnuMenu
{
visibility: visible;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 100vh;
background: none;
-webkit-transition: none !important;
-moz-transition: none !important;
transition: none !important;
-webkit-transform: none !important;
-moz-transform: none !important;
transform: none !important;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
-moz-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
#lnkMenu
{
display: none;
}
.ui-content
{
margin-left: 325px;
}
}
