Is there a better way to embed maps on the iPhone, without using native code?

I have an iPhone application, which does include maps. However, when a user clicks a button in the app - it just brings up an embedded safari browser, with the Google Maps in it. This is because I have a web version of the app, and I want the exact same result on both iPhone and web, without having to constantly update both codes. Also, it includes display of a polygon and pins.





Is there a better way to implement Javascript maps on the iPhone in a native app? Or for Javascript to control a native Google map in the iPhone application?





I don't really fancy the idea of "translating" all the Javascript code, database lookup etc, into native code.





Any ideas?

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

By User
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.

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

By User
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.
