Android Web App : Position:fixed broken?
- by StevenGilligan
Hi all,
I'm in the process of developping a Web Application for mobiles. I
went with web applications because to me it seems a winning situation
having to develop one application that could run also on iPhone /
Windows Mobile / Palm etc.
I started testing today after a few days of doing concepts, ideas and
designs and what I wanted to do was have a menu that sticks at the
bottom of the page. Exactly like the menu on the bottom in this iPhone

Using CSS, I though it would be really easy to do this. Only using
position:fixed; bottom:0; would have done the trick but I have found
it doesn't behave the same on mobile browsers
I tried to split my page in 2 sections : 1 would be a scrollable div
(for the content) and the other one would be the bottom menu.
Scrollable divs also do not work on Android. I also tried using frames
with no luck either. Does anyone know of any way to re-create a menu
that would stick to the bottom of a page for mobile phones?
Thank you,
Steven
