Testing various versions of iPhone Safari

Image
By User



I am developing a jquerymobile App, and things are looking good in IOS5 with the most up-to-date version of Safari, I really need to test some older versions of Safari and its Webkit to ensure things are looking good for most browser versions.





I realise I can fire up an old version of xcode with SDK4 , and test IOS4, but what I really need to test is the various versions of Safari, does anyone know how to do this? I'm assuming it is possible to upgrade Safari without upgrading your IOS.

    It is not possible to change the version of Safari that comes with the OS (on stock iOS devices). Also, the iOS Simulator on a Mac does not produce an exact representation of the functionality of Safari on an iOS device, especially older versions.

    The only way to accurately test for compatibility and functionality is to buy, beg or borrow an old iDevice that has not be updated to newer OS version (and thus Safari version) past the version you want to test.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
