I can't seem to get this to work for me.
I have a page that needs to be viewed in fullscreen

it's an older ipad, but the OS is up to date

so basically I want to get rid of the address bar.

this does nothing:
<meta name=”apple-mobile-web-app-capable” content=”yes” />

I think this is a iPod touch / iPhone feature only dbloc; I know "fucking apple..."
- so not possible?dbloc
- Unless you have a user add as a web app. Once they click the icon, it can load full screen...ideaist
- how do you do that...we have control of the ipad being useddbloc
- save the page to your home screenmonospaced

tried this:
// When ready...
window.addEventListener("load",f... {
// Set a timeout...
setTimeout(function(){
// Hide the address bar!
window.scrollTo(0, 1);
}, 0);
});

September 14, 2012, 4:28 PM — Here's how you can quickly make a web page full screen in iOS 6 on your iPad, iPhone or iPod.
1. Open the Safari app.
2. Navigate to the web page you want to read full screen.
3. Tilt your iOS 6 device so it is in landscape mode.
4. Tap the double arrow icon on the far right to go into full screen mode.
5. Tap the grey version of it again to leave full screen mode.
Full screen web pages look great in iOS 6. It's nice to get rid of the interface and just see the entire web page in Safari.

<meta name=”apple-mobile-web-app-capable” content=”yes” />
makes the site work in full screen once you add it to the homescreen.
