Viewing Popup doesn't function properly with lengthy text on iPad

Popup doesn't function properly with lengthy text on iPad



User: J. Christopher D. 5 years ago
I've created a Popup window to point viewers to additional information. In desktop browsers, it popups correctly with a scrollbar. On iPad (any version) the popup displays as only a white frame without a scrollbar, and the text extends beyond the bottom of the frame. The entire page scrolls.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and Tap the More Testimonials button.

I think it's a bug. If not, how do I configure the popup to function properly on iPad?

What EverWeb refers to as a popup window is more accurately described as a modal. These are designed to fit within the viewport of the browser or device window.

If you want to add a large amount of content which would overflow the viewport, the modal needs to have a fixed height set and the overflow content set to scroll. Since an iframe is being used, the content will not scroll when the page is viewed on an iPad due to a limitation in iOS.

The Modal widgets pack includes the Modal iFrame Scroll widget which allows the user to set the width and height of the modal window and have the content scroll on both computers and iPads. Open the demo page on an iPad or in the iOS Simulator to see how it works.

Thanks, Roddy. I checked out the widget and it appears to correct the iOS limitation. In the Page Layout of the pseudo-popup, would Content Height create the same correction?

No, it's the iframe that displays the content the needs to be modified. You would need to post a feature request.
