It seems to work well on other iPhone-class mobile devices, such as
Android and Pre.

There has been some discussion of extending iui.js to allow loading
"frags" from bookmarks. My thoughts are that this should be an
extension, but that the core should be modified to allow this type of

Not currently. You could try moving the sendEvent function into the
public section, but, of course, that is modifying iui.js. If you add a
public sendEvent that calls the private one, you may be able to limit
your mod to a couple of lines so it will be easy to merge with newer iUI
versions.

.frag is just a convention that I use for serving incomplete HTML from
static files. They could be dynamically generated by PHP or any
server-side technology and can have any extension.

Yes. There are beforeInsert and afterInsert events that you can use.
There is an event logger sample that demonstrates how to use them:

Would this approach cause any problems when the app is run on other
devices? Also, one of the points in having "separate apps" was the
ability to bookmark individual parts and start them - rather than
starting the main app every time. If I want to just open the Library
App portion - I'd be able to. If we do it the "frag-way" we will loose

I was actually intrigued by the second example on this page (Ajax
Link). I see that you are storing that ajax panel (minus the toolbar)
in a file called "fragPanel.frag" thus bringing that separate section
into the framework.

Originally, I was planning on separating each section of this site
into separate PHP pages and linking them from my main springboard

Lawnchair was build by a co-worker (Brian LeRoux) and it is loosely based
off another project (Mobile Store)

Plugin is the right approach. I'm willing to make changes to core to
make it pluggable.

Thank you all for the insights. For now, since most of the pages
linked from the homepage will be self-contained iUI-based sites, I'll
probably start out by adding a static "back" button on the main
section of each sub page.

Its possible - I saw a, in my eyes, good but static implementation. If your
environment is very static its easy to implement - if its big you need to
invest more time.

I would implement it as a plugin - but my plate is rather full right now.

Thanks Sean. That target="_webapp" worked! I'll have to play around
with getting the back button to appear.

I'll have to take a look at those other link types.

Thanks again!

Just thinking out loud here. I'm not a developer but would it be possible to
create some sort of breadcrumb navigation plug-in? Perhaps using a single
xml file and have it appear in a modal window or something? Just curious.

Sounds like a good option! I guess we could also modify the javascript
a bit so that the first back button is always a present button that
links to the "previous" main page... Even if we have to do these back
buttons manually for the "sub-apps", I think it would be less work and
still worth it to break everything into separate pieces, Scott.
