I have a strange problem. The website is using a template and on IPhone it is showing a strange black vertical bar on the right side.
I installed safari and activated the user agent. When I set the agent to the ipad, I am seeing the problem, but client told me its on his IPhone.
Strangely when I look with dev tools, it seems to be outside the html. What could be causing this? I have already tried to set html and body to 100% width and overflow-x to hidden, but it did not help.
I have included a screenshot:
I have never seen anything like this before. What could it be? thanks verymuch!

Somewhere, at some point, you have an element with some extra padding, border or margin that is blowing things out. I couldn't track it down, but an easy way to kill it off these days is with this in your style sheet (which is commonly used as part of a standard reset):
*, *:before, *:after {-moz-box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box;}
That seems to fix the issue, although on your next project, I recommend not setting fixed widths, but rather use width: 100% etc, as users on screens narrower than 300px will still have issues.
ok, so its a render issue on iphones and window phones. I cant replicate the issue on google chrome and samsung galaxy. Due to the below...
Put...
<section id="main-top">
<div id="bg">
inside the .container. You will have to re-assign your background. But the problem is with the nav and background and the positioning of these divs.
Your nav is full width but the container isn't, you have the section and div ending within the container but starts outside of it.

I noticed recently that every webpage I visit on iOS Chrome has an enormous blank space at the bottom of the page. The space is roughly equal to a full screen height (i.e. 100vh) and is located below all visible elements on the page. Basically I can keep scrolling the page until it's completely blank. The scrollbar also shows that the pages are much longer than their content would require.
All the pages I looked at behave fine on Android, on OSX, and even on iOS when I use Firefox or Safari. The issue seems specific to iOS Chrome. I'm not sure when this issue started but I've updated Chrome and it persists.
Is anyone else experiencing this iOS Chrome bug? I haven't found any info about it.
I created a dummy test webpage and just kept stripping it down to see what was causing the issue. Eventually I was left with a page containing only <p> tags and very minimal CSS (no positioning properties) but the extra space at page bottom still showed up. By adding a background-color to the <body> I could see that this extra space was within the <body> but there wasn't any element forcing the body to extend.
After much trial and error I discovered that if I disable Chrome's Smooth Scrolling this issue is resolved and all pages behave normally.
Solution: Load chrome://flags and set Smooth Scrolling to disable.
Seems odd that this would be necessary. Anyone know what's going on?
This is likely a Chrome bug (iPad). I also spent a lot of time debugging all the css and my components. End up event google.com it self has that mysterious white space (which is about the height of the content itself.).
6 hours gone, but it's a relieve to know it's nothing got to do with my codes.
iPhone with chrome is fine on my end
To stop the page from scrolling, in both x, and y axis, we use the overflow: hidden; attribute in css.
So if we apply this to the body,
body {
overflow: hidden !important;
}
this should work in your scenario!
Please make sure you have added this meta tag and the same attributes
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0">
And check your body tag CSS, there should not be height: 100vh and check your pages again by clearing browser cache or in the private mode.
I have ran into an iOS ONLY specific bug which i cannot seem to wrap my head around. I am currently rendering an iframe on a website which is fetching content from another one of my websites. The content in the iframe is displayed within a responsive slider. The slider works by getting the full width of the window and times that by how many slides there is.
To make it responsive it will recalculate the widths on jQuery(window).resize. At this point i would like to add that i have tested this on all browsers on pc and its fine, ive tried it on all android browsers and guess what, they all work fine. As soon as i take it to IOS for testing is where the problem begins.
It works fine if you visit the dedicated website. However, When you view the content through the iframe, the javascript code thinks that the window is being resized which means its constantly resizing (getting bigger and bigger) making it dissapear of the screen making the window continually wider everytime.
HTML
<div class="iframe-container">
<iframe scrolling="no" src="*url removed*"></iframe>
</div>
CSS
.iframe-container iframe{width: 100%; min-height: 560px; border: none;}
Im thinking that its possible related to the content within the iframe ignoring the meta viewport tag or something?
Im unable to post a link to the issue due to client privacy reasons.
If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Lewis
In case it's still relevant or for anyone brought here by search:
Find the element inside the iframe which makes the window get bigger and bigger. Add max-width: 100vw; to its styles.
This helped me to fix a similar issue which also occurred only on ios and only when the page was loaded in an iframe.
The luma theme of magento 2 has a bug.
When iam on an iphone and open the menu the menu opens to far.
It streched past the right side of the screen.
If i do this on android the menu works perfectly.
I was looking at the css code and i found that the menu width was calculated using calc();
It substracted 54px from 100%.
I thought iOs couldn't handle calc but this was not the problem.
Then i tried to fiddled with the width of the parent elements to find the calculation problem.
The problem was that none of it fixed the problem.
And even weirder was the fact that on android it kept working correctly.
Does anyone have this problem also with the luma theme?
And possibly found a solution.
Thanks in advance for you help.
On our website https://dampershop.nl we solved this problem by changing a bit of css.
We added:
html.nav-before-open, .nav-before-open body {
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
This makes it so that iphone/ios devices opens the responsive menu correctly.
I hope this helps!
I'm building a mobile app for IOS, with html5. I'm using "-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch" to get the native inertia scrolling, but it's very buggy. I've solved the issues with content not rendering until the scrolling stops, but one persistent bug is this:
When I try to scroll up and down, nothing happens, but when I try to scroll horizontally, the content scrolls vertically (90 degrees off axis). If I navigate around my app and come back to the page, it will sometimes be fixed. Also, sometimes it won't scroll at all, despite being full of content.
From what I've googled, the consensus seems to be that Apple is aware of this bug, and has no intention of fixing it any time soon. Has anyone found a solution to get -webkit-overflow-scrolling to work correctly?
I also have struggled with this bug for months. The best characterization that I've found is:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87391
which says that it happens when the page has an iFrame and the contents are set from Javascript. My current workaround in The Graphics Codex version 1.6 is to use iScroll4 to explicitly scroll the page rather than using touch scrolling. Because Javascript is single-threaded, this can be slow if you're also performing animations or background loading content.
I encountered the same problem: a node using -webkit-overflow-scrolling: scroll that would intermittently scroll up/down only with a left/right scroll gesture.
Here's what I found to be possible causes:
iframe present on the page anywhere, visible or otherwise (source)
visibility: hidden applied to any parent of the scrollable node (source)
However, none of these situations were present in my web app. I had a scrollable <ul> inside of a pure CSS modal dialog that I wrote which used a clever trick to add a transparent underlay -- an ::after pseudo-element with position: fixed.
When I removed the position: fixed from the pseudo-element, the problem went away! Of course, this made my clever trick useless, but it was interesting to learn that this bug could be triggered by this situation.
Device: iOS 5.1.1 on 2012 iPad 3 (retina)
Offending code:
/* Underlay */
.dialog::after {
z-index: -1;
position: fixed; /* <--- This was the problem! */
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
content: "";
}
tl;dr: if containing elements have a fixed position pseudo-element, removing it could fix your scrolling problem.
I know that the issue is kind of old, but I had to make my website work on iOS 5. Unfortunately i couldn't remove nor replace the iframe. I've noticed that the presence of iframe caused the problem only if it was rendered before the element which was ment to scroll smoothly. Appending iframe to the document later (after the element with -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch) fixed the problem :)
In recently testing a web application on Windows/Mac desktop browsers - and then on an iPad I noticed various differences in Safari that I wasn't expecting. Even though the version # is the same.
I'd like to compose a list of those differences (for myself and others) to have as a developer reference.
e.g. in Safari on the iPad
iPad Safari takes full control of Select list/option styling
iPad opens the onscreen keyboard when an input element receives focus, thus inline floating calendar widgets (and the like) may not work as expected (or need to be altered)
iPad Safari doesn't support position:fixed like desktop Safari < iOS 5
iPad Safari (similar to iPhone/iPodTouch Safari) automatically hyperlinks 10 digit numbers to offer phone #/contact options
iPad Safari prompt('long message...','default'); shows only 1 line of the message (though it does provide scrolling of the message
I've heard from others that certain JavaScript doesn't work, etc. etc. but I have yet to fully test it thus I'd be grateful for any discoveries that you may have encountered.
A few more for you:
No Flash
Lousy iFrame support (so facebook like etc. needs a custom implementation for iPad)
Weird caching limitations
HTML textAreas doesn't get a scroll bar (you have to double-finger swipe - which of course, is amazingly intuitive)
In general. Treat it like a scaled up iPhone, not a scaled down Desktop.
I thought this might be useful: Apple's guide to preparing web content for the iPad
Just been caught out by the position:fixed issue my self
Safari on iPad has the same issue with button width/padding as on the iPhone
iPhone <button> padding unchangeable? describes this problem and a solution for removing padding on a button with text, but this does not help you if you want a button to be narrower than the padding itself (e.g. for a button that only has a small icon on it). To do that, I had to surround the button with an outer element with a defined width and overflow: hidden like so:
<span style="border: solid 1px blue; display: block; width: 16px; overflow: hidden">
<button style="-webkit-appearance: none; border-width: 0"> </button>
</span>
(the blue border is to show where the button is, it's not critical to the hack)
jQuery's offset() doesn't work: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/6446
It also looks like iPad Safari has issues with elements with overflow:auto; that therefore should show scrollbars (test page with div's and iframe's).
iPad Safari seems to have trouble handling background images in rare cases, showing weird lines of lower lying content.
There's not a lot about this in Google (yet).
iPad browser doesnt support file uploading(even if it supports it will useless as iPad does not have a standard File Browser). The file field appears with a Choose File button grayed out.
Beside doesn't support scrollbar in TextAea, it seems that we can using javascript to make text in TextArea selected automatically too.
This code will only move cursor to the end of text in TextArea.
<div>
<textarea id="text-embed-code" autocapitalize="off" multiline="">
There is a fox running after chrome.
</textarea>
<button onclick="testSelectText(event);">select text</button>
</div>
<script>
function testSelectText(e) {
var box = document.getElementById("text-embed-code");
box.select();
e.preventDefault();
return false;
}
</script>
There appears to be a bug in iPad Safari where a CSS element with both a background image and a background color is rendered with a slight border in the color of the background color. It should fill with the background image all the way to the edge of the rendered element.
I just had the same bug on my site, when trying to view it on an Ipad. The HTML structure is like:
<div class="main"> <!-- background-color: white -->
<div class="left"></div> <!-- background-image: url(some_transparent_png) -->
<div class="content">...</div>
<div class="right"></div> <!-- background-image: url(some_transparent_png) -->
</div>
The left layer uses a background-image, whereas the main layer uses just a background-color. The Ipad view shows a slight border at the edge of the left and right layer.
When i add
-webkit-background-size: 100% 100%;
to the left and right layer, the border disappears.
You can now control the styling of select lists on iOS by resetting it with -webkit-appearance: none;
This rule fixes animation flickering in Safari on iOS devices:
body {-webkit-transform:translate3d(0,0,0);}
There appears to be a bug in iPad Safari where a CSS element with both a background image and a background color is rendered with a slight border in the color of the background color. It should fill with the background image all the way to the edge of the rendered element.
24 bit transparent PNGS ABOVE A CERTAIN FILE SIZE don't render on the iPad2.
I can however get 8 bit ones of the same dimensions to render.
I haven't found out what this maximum file size is in order to get them to render.
I'm currently working on a small responsive web-app which makes heavy use of the iframe youtube api. Apparently the ipad version of safari doesn't support a few html5 methods which I use heavily in this project.
One of them is window.postMessage, which is a way of interacting with scripts on other pages, for example the a script that is used "within" that iframe. Autoplaying videos also doesn't work.
Frame problems. iPad Safari will both hide scrollbars and expand frames to the size of their content.
Changing the frame tag to include scrolling="yes" and noresize="noresize" appears to do nothing.
Some sites look fine on everything, even a Dreamcast browser, but not on iPad. The issue can be fixed using tables and iframes instead of normal framesetting (cols and rows, etc).
I also discovered that contenteditable is not supported in mobile safari, thus using a plain textarea is a better bet. Apple Developer Docs
position: fixed;
Does not work in iOS 4 but does work on iOS 5.
