Tutorial: Building a website for the iPhone
Thursday, June 19th, 2008
Well, we did promise we’d get around to a tutorial eventually, so here you have it! The Engage Interactive school for all things internet proudly presents: How to build a website with orientation specific content especially for the iPhone!
This tutorial will cover the basic setup and creation of a web page for the iPhone that will detect and change the content based on the phones orientation. You will need some way of viewing your files on the iPhone or you wont see the fruits of your labour. We’d suggest uploading it to a location on the web and browsing to it on the phone. Other than that everything else can be done with any old text editor. Anyway, enough chat – Onward to the tutorial!
UPDATE:
I completely forgot to mention how to detect the iPhone on your normal website and send it to your iPhone version. I’ve added the script here.
