Actually, it might be easier than that even, at least for the notebook. According to a stack overflow question [1] the problem with iPhone is that it tries to "scale your content for optimal viewing". The solution is to add <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0"> which tells the (mobile) browser to use the actual width of the device. IMHO this makes it (much more) usable on the iPhone. There could probably be some tweaks to the css just for mobile devices, but the notebook actually scales really well layout-wise. Some of the plots and such are cut off, but they fit pretty well when viewed in landscape. Now, sagemath.org doesn't appear to scale as well, at least the front page. The documentation doesn't work well until you collapse the side bar--which I had no idea you could do until I started trying to figure out the page to fix the css. After that it's quite nice. I'm not sure how, but it would be nice if that were more discoverable--especially on mobile devices. -Ivan [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5031910/div-with-fixed-width-rendering-too-wide-in-ipad -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
