iPhone startup screen not working - WHY - RESOLVED

[Brent VanderMeide]

I have seen many flail in trying to resolve this, but I finally did
and want to save you the headache. The jQTouch options allow you to
specify the 'startupScreen' option. The solution is to specify an
ABSOLUTE path or URI to the image.

BAD ( RELATIVE PATH ) :

var options = { startupScreen: 'myStartImage.png' };
var jQT = new $.jQTouch(options);


GOOD ( ABSOLUTE PATH ):

var options = { startupScreen: '/myStartImage.png' };
var jQT = new $.jQTouch(options);

or

var options = { startupScreen: 'http://.../myStartImage.png' };
var jQT = new $.jQTouch(options);

I use icon: 'HTTP://' + document.domain + '/path/to/icon/icon.png'
