Hi. I've found app which doesnt need to be opened with safari menu
bars etc.

Open this page in iphone and add icon to springboard:

http://webapp.net.free.fr/Demo/Index.html

Its half-natively :D But im going to do the same with iwebkit. Ive
added meta tags:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0;
maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" />
But it works only with index age. When i go anywhere (eg music list
possibilites) It opens safari and then i can use webapp.

Ive added those meta tags to all html files. What can be wrong?

Yeah i know about that and i have already experienced with the tags.
The thing is apple designed it in a stupid way so that when you click
a link that quits the page youre on the thing opens safari!
Webapp.netis very good but realy for very experienced users. Also its
kinda heavy to load. The thing is it uses complicated stuff to be able
to load external files into the curent page. It replaces the content
that's already there instead of having multiple pages like with
iwebkit...That means you basicly do not quit the page and the tags
work.

If you use a single page website this definitly works with iwebkit but
as soon as you add other pages it jumps over to safair. Thats why i
did not include it in version 3.0 :)
