Preparing Your Web Content for iPad

Technical Note TN2262 documents the platform-specific considerations for web content in Safari on iPhone OS devices, with specific information for iPad. If your clients’ sites are Flash-heavy, this could help you update the sites to be iPad ready.

The steps, at first look, seem simple enough; however step #2 can be a challenge depending on the complexity of the UI implemented in Flash.

1. Test your website on iPad, and update user agent detection code if necessary
2. Use W3C standard web technologies instead of plug-ins
3. Check your viewport tag settings
4. Modify code that relies on CSS fixed positioning
5. Prepare for a touch interface
6. Use textareas instead of contenteditable elements
