Disable scrolling in an iPhone web application?



Is there any way to completely disable web page scrolling in an iPhone web app? I've tried numerous things posted on google, but none seem to work.





Here's my current header setup:







<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=no;"/>

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes"/>







document.body.addEventListener('touchmove', function(e){ e.preventDefault(); });





doesn't seem to work.

  1. Change to the touchstart event instead of touchmove. Under One Finger Events it says that no events are sent during a pan, so touchmove may be too late.

    I added the listener to document, not body.

  2. The page has to be launched from the Home screen for the meta tag to work.

  3. This should work. No more gray areas at the top or bottom:)

    <script type="text/javascript">
    function blockMove() {
    event.preventDefault() ;
    }
    </script>

    <body ontouchmove="blockMove()">


    But this also disables any scrollable areas. If you want to keep your scrollable areas and still remove the rubber band effect at the top and bottom, see here: http://flow.bz/uaIgUn.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
