Hello there, I'm having an issue where my site won't stop reloading/refreshing when you initially go to any of the sites pages for the first time. It's like it gets stuck in a loop. It stops after you touch the screen a few times and/or go to another page. It seems to only be happening in Safari in mobile. I've been trying to figure out what might be causing this, but with no luck. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Or have any thoughts on what may be causing this? Here's a video of what happening: https://www.screenmailer.com/v/FQwkawa2W4kEmlg The link to the site is: http://www.allptscomm.oiw11.com Any and all help/thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks! mh

ALERT: This question can be answered by both new and old users who do not like pop-ups, because it is an iPhone -- an environment in which the now infamous/famous Grammar Captive splash panel is forever suppressed. BACKGROUND: After many excruciating hours the responsive design of Grammar Captive is nearly complete. One of the several known outstanding problems that remains occurs when one uses Grammar Captive's custom search engines with an iPhone. In order to enter one's search word or phrase the iPhone keyboard appears. It works like a bad wine that starts with an attractive bouquet and flavor, but ends with a strong, even foul, after taste. An alternative analogy is a misbehaved (innocent or malevolent) child that leaves his parents or older siblings to clean up after his after he has played. In effect, the keyboard takes up the entire width of the viewport, but does not return the webpage that hosts the form input control that evokes it. Although I was able to find a possible solution on StackOverflow it has proven difficult to implement. PROPOSED SOLUTION: Add an id attribute to the page's meta tag that hosts the viewport control and reference that tag when the search is submitted. Before Search: <meta id="viewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> After Search: $('#viewport').attr('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=0.5'); I believe the reason that this works for others, but not for me is that Javascript cannot find #viewport. This is because of the sequencing of the Javascript that produces the dynamically loaded center panel. In brief, overview.js is loaded with overview.html (the Grammar Captive mainpage) search_letter.js is loaded by overview.js after the search panel has loaded, but before a search is made. If the After Search modification is to be implement, then it must be implemented after the search has been completed. QUESTION ONE: Am I likely correct in my assessment? QUESTION TWO: If so, how might I resolve the problem? Roddy

BACKGROUND: Within two weeks of my iMac hard disk failure I also lost my iPhone due to a failed power socket. People simply do not service what Apple calls "obsolete" equipment. Although I have yet to replace my iMac, one of my colleagues had an iPhone 5 that he was no longer using and gave it to me. With his new phone in hand I went straight to the Grammar Captive website only to discover that what worked well in a device simulator does not work well at all in the real-life device. Now, my website is divided into five parts: a banner, a navigation bar, the main content section, a side bar with RSS feeds, and a footer. When the viewport is small, the aforementioned divisions are supposed to build a five tier column: banner, navigation bar, main content, side-bar, and footer. If you own an iPhone 5 compare the results for podcast_hostpage.php and with those of overview.html and see the difference. The former displays correctly, the latter does not. QUESTION: What must I do to restore the five-tier nature of overview.html? Roddy
