Viewing iPhone View Is Completely Different

iPhone View Is Completely Different



User: Guest 12 years ago
I changed my font on all of my pages from Mac's "Olive Oil" to "Impact" weeks ago to use a browser friendly font. When I view the practice site in Firefox I see the changes, but when I view it from the iPhone browsers (Safari and Atomic) I see the old Olive Oil. Is it something to do with the iPhone or is it to do with EasyWeb? It's a real head scratcher for me. I've redone this page a couple of times. I've closed both browsers and plugged the iPhone into my Mac and synced safari. What Gives? The photos below were just taken.

You are almost certainly visiting a different URL or a cached page but I cannot be sure without seeing the full path bar in both web browsers.

Paul, there is still no difference. I've cleared both caches in Atomic and Safari, closed the two apps, turned off the iPhone, and input the URLs manually. I'm stuck.

What is the URL for the page?

Roddy, I just emailed it from my Firefox browser to my iPhone as a text. I looks great on the computer and crap on the iPhone. I wonder if the spaces in the URL are messing things up in the iPhone. Here's the address below (from Firefox). Oh, all of the pages are doing it. Is it OK to change the site name, or should I start over. Put dashes instead of spaces?

Changed it and it's still doing it.

I'm not understanding this because the text styles.css doesn't related to what is seen in the browser. For example, the navigation link style is still showing "OliveOil" but the actual font is "Impact" in a desktop browser.

The iPhone view, on the other hand, seems to be still using the old version of the stylesheet.

There's also some repetition of the javascript files that are being loaded.

This is where I would go and look at the files on the server - but we can't! At the moment, we don't have a way of deleting redundant files on the server and this may be the problem.

Without being able to access the serve files I'm only guessing and Paul would have to look in to this for you.

There are two problems here.

1) EasyWeb was labelling Impact as a cursive font instead of a sans-serif font

2) Impact is not included in iOS so it was defaulting to a generic cursive font instead of an iOS font

Apparently although Impact should be a websafe font (and is labeled as such in the Mac font panel), it is not included in iOS. Neither is Comic Sans.

So the next version fixes this issue with labelling Impact as sans-serif, but it still won't look exactly the same because Impact is not included in iOS so it is going to default to Arial.

You should consider a different font at this point.
