Hai

I am doing a dashboard for iPad. I am facing problems with resolution. As our desktops and laptops differ from iPad, any HTML page which normally fits on a laptop gets scrolls on iPad. How to work on this? Is there anything I could set in HTML composer (resolution or size of page) that makes me feel the screen on iPad?
I cant always develop and test on iPad to see how it looks. Let me know of any suggestions.

Thanks

Could you add a groupbox to the dashboard that is the size of the available area on the iPad screen, then just remove/hide it when done.

I'm sorry to have to tell you, HTML Composer Pages are not supported for iPad's until release 7702 hotfix 1. There were changes that had to be made to support Safari and specific changes for the iPad.

This does not affect HTML Composer, but while developing, you can resize the web browser screen to the iPad resolution to make sure your form controls fit. I have a "favorite" in all my web browsers to resize the window:

javascript:resizeTo(1024,768)

Enigma006,

I don't understand how you would get IE on an iPad unless you are referring to a Remote Desktop App to connect to a Windows machine. I have tried a Remote Desktop App myself and found that to be quite clunky.

This might resolve the issue with IE on an iPad: VMware View
