iPhone copy function

Hi,

I started to build websites for smartphones but especially for iphone, I found something weird which happen only when you browse a website powered by Kentico CMS.

Usually when you browse the web with your iphone, you can copy text from safari to past it anywhere you want as shown here:
User image

But for the websites powered by Kentico CMS, you can't. I first thought it was because the pages were rendered in aspx but in fact, the function works well in any other websites using aspx (ex. http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx)

I've no clue what's going on. Have you guys any idea about how to fix it (maybe in a future hotfix).

Regards,

What CSS styles are used? Could you please try to create a "blank" page for mobile device just with some plain text? Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:iPhone copy function

I didn't try only on my websites, I also tryed on websites found on internet using Kentico, desktop websites and mobile websites. (kentico.com included)

blank mobile page: http://dev.r42.ca/mobile/blank

No custom js file such as jquery, etc.
A simple css is included but not used in this page.
It doesn't work, it's like there is a layer above everything that make impossible to select text.

RE:iPhone copy function

Does it work for you?
Tested and it doesn't for me.

Anyway the browser shouldn't disallow you to copy the text unless you use something like the -webkit-user-select: none; and I don't.

I placed this on the top of my CSS:
* {
-moz-user-select: text;
-webkit-user-select: text;
}

tryed also with auto / all.
I also removed the viewport meta tag but it doesn't change anything.

I am maybe missing something, I'll try to figure out what.

Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 8/9/2010 7:24:37 AM RE:iPhone copy function Hi, We tried it on iPhone 3G. By default, we are following current valid standards for mobile devices. I am sorry, but if some of the older devices are not supporting them, all you can do is to google for some kind of hack or other tricks (if available). I am sorry for this inconvenience.
