Page jumps when editing form on iphone

Submitted by harty83 on Sat, 09/24/2011 - 16:16

There seems to be an issue when editing something in virtualmin via the mobile theme at least on the iPhone. I have iPhone 4 with latest 4.x release. Whenever I tap on an inputbox, select, etc the browser jumps to the top of the page. This makes it VERY tricky to do anything via the mobile interface. :-) any ideas?

The one place I use often where this happens is the Linux Firewall webmin module.

Thank, Alan,

I tested this on an iPad with the latest iOS, and a gen 1 iPhone, but neither exhibited this problem.

Also, Virtualmin doesn't have any code in the mobile theme that would move the UI around like that .. so this seems like an iPhone bug.

This has been happening to me ever since i can remember using it (over a year), mainly on the Webalizer configuration and log pages. No idea what is causing it, but try going to a webalizer view and scrolling down ... It always jumps up after a few seconds

Sorry, but I don't see that scrolling behavior happen, even in the webalizer module...

Have you seen this on other iPhones or iOS devices?

Yes, i had the same problem on my older 3GS (using iPhone 4 now) ... Just tested it on my boss' 3GS and it has the same issue.

As i said, no clue what's causing it ... but as soon as you scroll down - it jumps all the way to the top again. Quite annoying :)

I wonder if you are perhaps seeing a problem that has already been fixed in our un-released development version, or a new version of the theme..

If you run dpkg --list webmin-virtual-server-theme to get the package version, what does it output?

Sorry, I gave the wrong package name .. it should really have been :

dpkg --list webmin-virtual-server-mobile

2.4

||/ Name Version Description +++-=======================================================-=======================================================-============================================================================================================================== ii webmin-virtual-server-mobile 2.4 Webmin theme 'Virtualmin Mobile Theme'

That's our latest released version .. but you can try an even newer package which contains un-released code, by running the commands :

wget http://fudu.webmin.com/webmin-virtual-server-mobile_2.4-2_all.deb
dpkg --install webmin-virtual-server-mobile_2.4-2_all.deb

Let us know if that helps. But sure to do a full page reload in your iPhone browser after installing, to clear any cached CSS files.

Still happens but I found something interesting. Guess I never tried it in landscape mode before but when it is in landscape mode, it doesn't jump. If in portrait mode, it jumps back up to the top. @denvb does that happen to you as well?

Thanks, Alan
