Resolved question

White Web Page on iPhone in Safari

by c_concepts - 7/25/11 12:35 PM

Hello all--First post here, please be patient with me!!!

I have created a website that works on all browsers but for some reason shows up as a blank white screen on the iPhone even though the URL displays in the address bar. I was going to create a mobile version of the site but cannot for the life of me work out why this is happening in the meantime.

I have developed other sites that load on the iPhone without Mobile versions but can't understand why this site is going all weird on me. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a possible fix? I've cleared the cache, refreshed, manually typed the url in, done just about everything I can think of!

Oh, and I have analytics and the most recent version of jquery running as scripts in the background. I have these on the site that works on the iPhone too so I don't think this is the issue. Just wanted to you know as much as possible.

Thanks in advance!!!

For instance, is it a Flash-based website? Is the content lazy-loaded using jQuery? Have you tried something like resizing your desktop browser to match the iPhone's resolution to see if it is an overflow issue?

It is hard to say without seeing it, but the more details the better.

Let us know.
John

Thanks for checking out this post John--

I actually re-ran the site through the W3 validator and saw a tiny instance of where a comment had not been properly closed in the html. I went ahead and deleted it and rechecked the site on the iPhone and incredibly it works just fine now.

Amazing how something so small can cause such a headache. Thanks again!
