A call to all web developers, launching a twitter campaign to force webkit to implement a position fixed in mobile webkit
Hey guys,
I need YOU for 2 minutes,
Some of you guys might not know that it is impossible to have a fixed toolbar in mobile webkit, this is because we can’t fix anything to the gridview webkit produce.
This is something we need if one day we really want to be a contender to replace native applications.
If you have 2 minute sign the petition by going to http://www.abettermobileweb.com and click on the big button at the bottom.

Tips #2: Animating opacity with jQuery? Don’t forget to set your opacity before animating
Animating opacity with jQuery can be a little tricky. If you look closely, the first opacity animation might not happen. You would think that $(‘element’).animating({opacity:0}) would do the trick, but actually that is not really the case. When you animate opacity always remember to set the default opacity before, in CSS you can add opacity:0 to your element.
However, if you remember, Internet Explorer 6 and 7 do not support CSS opacity, they support the weird, IE only, filter:alpha(opacity=70). Unfortunately for us, that will not do the trick and the first opacity animation will not happen.
So there is only one cross browser way to do this that I know, in your DOM ready, add $(‘element’).css(“opacity”, 0).
Hope it helps!
