Day 1b
Follow-up to iPad Day 1 from Rudo's blog
By the way, I am having to write this blog from a standard computer. The iPad's safari browser seems incompatible with the Java editors in SiteBuilder. I checked that this is not just a blog problem, it's the same for all SiteBuilder pages. So if we want iPads at Warwick, I am sure this is something which eLab will have to tackle.
PS: The raw HTML editor works. But it feels cluncky to have a 21st century device editing in what feels like a 19th century mode.

I wonder how many iPad users who want to edit SiteBuilder pages there would have to be before it was worth making the necessary changes to accommodate them! Not worth it for just you and me and Ian, I fear…

If the University shelled out for us all to have iPads so that we could develop support, maybe it’d be fine!?

Of course I did not mean to say that we need that support now. But if iPads become more common, then people will want to use them for SiteBuilder editing.
PS: I am writing this comment via the iPad, so this works.

In fact, as it turns out, even if everyone in the university bought an iPad tomorrow, there would be nothing we could do to make WYSIWYG editing work, because the iPad web browser is missing a crucial component called ContentEditable, without which no WYSIWYG editor can possibly work. It’s a known and fairly widely bemoaned issue, though there’s some suggestion that it gets fixed in iOS4.
