Joe, thx for the great framework... I was able to quickly transform my joke book application to use your framework... But I have a quick question that you might be able to help me with...
The question is this... how can I get my content to show in the final player pane? I am using an onclick to get the html page like this <pre> <li><a href="#" onclick="javascript:window.location = './ extremely_large_jokes/Tech_Support_Tales.html'">Tech_Support_Tales</ a></li> </pre>
but it opens the page as a new page, and I'd rather have it show up in the div that you made for "player"
Note that in desktop Safari clicking on a top level topic "Small Jokes" does nothing. While the iPhone is clearly the target, I would hope that all iPhone apps can be driven from a regular computer at need.

I noticed that on my iPhone it was a bit jerky on the transitions. Is this a function of your server, or that I clicked on about 5 lines quickly because nothing appeared to be happening? Do you do the transitions locally or with round trips to the server?

No it's all preloaded when the app loads, but since there's quite a bit of data (maybe 80k or so), sliding back and forth is a bit sluggish on the iPhone. With close to 1000 jokes, I think I'll need to break them down into many more categories and see if that speeds the navigation.

Well hey, I was actually going to get to work on an iPhone UI Library -- like, a set of stylesheets, for drop-in styling based on the iPhone UI images. Maybe if I do it (and quickly, 'cause otherwise someone will beat me to it ;)) I can send it to the project.

Wow, this looks great. I have updated the theme of my app to this one and I really like it.
On another note, I can't figure out why external links aren't opening at all. Is that a bug/feature of this or is it something on my end? For example, when you do a search and find the pictures, I want the pictures to link the actual page they are on, but the links won't open. They open when I command click in Safari, but nothing at all on the iPhone.

Yeah, that's actually what I ended up doing for now, thanks!
Also, is there a way to easily get control of the "home" button that is in the upper left corner. It seems to always point to a certain place, and I've been trying to change it but can't seem to figure it out.

Speaking of sliding pages in via AJAX, would it be considered better to wait for the server to populate the element and then slide it into view, or slide in a blank page with an AJAX spinning 'loading' graphic so it feels snappier to the end user? I noticed the multiple newspaper iPhone app slides in a blank page with a spinner on it. I don't have a preference, just wanted to get general consensus. -=Randy
