Is it possible to switch focus from one GLKview to another without reloading everything?



I am making an opengl 2.0 based game for iPad where I have added support for external displays. I want the game to be able to hot-swap between the local display and the external display.





The issue I am experiencing is that as soon as I get a DrawInRect call to a newly created GLKview, belonging to a newly attached display, it seems all the shader programs and textures I set up in the old GLKview are no longer valid for the new GLKview.





Will I need to recompile the shaders and reload all textures for new GLKview's? Or is there a better way to do it?





I would really like to avoid having the game pause for 5-10 seconds while loading textures to the new display, especially since they are in fact already loaded and should be available somehow?





Is there a way to transfer/share these data?

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
