How does the Museum look on iPad?

[megoscott]

Any iPad users here? How do the gallery pop up menu work on iPad? Any trouble?

I can't speak for the iPad, but on the iPhone the menu works well on the safari browser that comes installed.

What doesn't work is the scrolling.

On the accessory check pages, for example, the content will come up on the screen, but safari will not allow scrolling of that inner content. It only allows scrolling of the whole page.

I get the same problem on the forum, when replying. It will not allow you to scroll the comment boxes.

Everything seems to work fine on the ipad...

Yep, works perfectly on the iPad, just like I was on my computer.

I had that same problem the one time I accessed via my iPhone

Works great on the Samsung Galaxy Tab as well.

I have trouble with the galleries on the iPad. I get one page of info, but can't scroll to see the rest of the article.

This all worries me.

Count me in!

I didn't initially check anything but the forum, but you are correct. I cannot get scrolling to work on the gallery pages on either the iPad or the Galaxy Tab. The forums work perfectly on both, but not the gallery pages

I checked the other pages. The splash screen doesn't require scrolling. The home page scrolls fine, the library page scrolls fine, the custom mego page seems to want to scroll but is cutoff at the bottom and the search page scrolls fine. I'll do some in-west-t'gating and see if other people are talking about other sites having similar problems. Must be something simple in the code if some pages work fine.

I ain't touching no Windows devices, though! I have to have some principles!

[megoscott]

The gallery scroll was a funky work around that may becoming obsolete. Major suckage if true.

Good new, it's not anything wrong with the site coding. It's a mobile device quirk. Not sure why it only does it on some pages and not others, but apparently the mobile browsers delete the scroll bars to preserve screen real estate, which initially seems to eliminate the ability to scroll. The solution is to swipe with two fingers and the page scrolls fine. This is actually addressed in the iPad user manual, but who reads manuals!
