Borders dissapear in Mobile Safari - iphone

I'm starting with Twitter's Bootstrap v3. Then I add a 2px border around an iframe. See the 3rd row on this live page (NOTE: not all iframes on that page have the border applied).
When I shrink the window down to 300px in Chrome, the border still appears and looks normal. But when I open the same page on an iPhone, the border is cropped off on the right and bottom edge.
Is this a Safari bug? Is there a hack to fix it?
Update
I borrowed one-year old iPad and only the bottom border is lost.

How to show on screen keyboard on top of canvas?

How do I show the on screen keyboard of mobile devices on top of the canvas in Unity3D? My canvas now shrinks in size because of the on screen keyboard, which is not what I want.
I don't believe there is an inbuilt feature for this you would have to do it manually using OnGUI(). To draw something on top of something else just put the script in the order you want it drawn. That means the last peice of gui script will be ontop.

Fancybox does not center when title outside

I am using FB 1.3.
I have got images with a lot of text to show as title outside.
The problem is that the image itself is centered correctly but the title runs out of the viewport at the bottom. On smaller screens you cannot read the entire text whats pretty bad.
Any ideas?

mobile website - iphone div position

I am developing a mobile website. An issue im running into is positioning some divs.
(testing on iphone 4 atm)
http://rerender.tv/phoenix/m
I have a couple of divs that are suppose to be placed at the right of the viewport (right top and right bottom)
the divs are set with
position:absolute;
right: 3%;
top: 3%;
But on the iphone it looks like those divs get placed towards the middle.
Also on the subpages, theres a div container that holds content with the width set to 95%, but the content (text) only goes half way in the viewport.
http://rerender.tv/phoenix/m/about.html
Not sure what the issue here is but it looks like the page width is not scaling to the full size of the viewport. Although the meta tag is declaring the scaling at 1 and the size of the viewport to be device content.
Searched around, couldnt find anything. But i think im just overlooking something.
Help?
thanks

Single/sub pixel misalignment of divs on ipad and iphone safari

I've got the following situation, and I need some help...
Two divs, same size, same location, one on top of the other
Everything works as expected on desktop browsers
On the iphone/ipad a faint line appears around the border of the divs
This faint line is not always on all four borders. It changes depending on the location of the divs. It looks to be happening as a result of the two divs not lining up properly, but according to their style settings, they are of identical size and location.
You can see the results here: http://www.thoughtartistry.com
Any ideas?
I had a similar problem in a recent project where I had background image masks with different background color to colorize the resulting icons in mobile Safari. The problem was that when the page was scaled down by Safari, there was a line of the background color showing around the image, even though it should have been masked. I never found a way to prevent that leaking of the background color when the page is scaled down. It's clearly an error in mobile Safari's algorithms that recalculate the background and mask. I did find a workaround: I put an outline on the element with the same color as the background of the element's parent. The outline is outside the element and therefore masks the part bleeding out. If your element's parent has a pattern background that's drastic, this won't work that well, but if it's a solid color, it'll do just fine.
A negative margin is the only way I found to prevent this.
For example, if you have a faint horizontal gap between 2 divs, adding a top margin of -1px to the second div will make it overlap slightly and the gap will not reappear as the page is scaled.
Some situations (like image sprites or repeat patterns) may need a little more tweaking, but the general idea is the same. For a sprite, make sure there is no big color change within 1 pixel of the cropping border. The bleed is never more than 1 pixel, so a 1 pixel adjustment is enough.
The problem is not only with divs matching together, but also with image sprites.
I followed the advise in this thread of setting initial viewport scale to 1.0. The sub-pixel bug was gone, but then I tested my website on other devices, like Android, and realized a full size page is annoying, since users have to re-scale every time it's loaded. So I preferred to disable the scale and wait until Apple fixes it. Then one day I was thinking how to solve the problem with the margins of the page, and I came to this simple solution in CSS:
html {
min-width: 1024px;
}
Devices capable of this resolution, such as iPad in horizontal position, will set the document scale to 1.0. In my case this is enough solution, since I can show the page is working just right, and the sub-pixel bug is in Safari/iOS, which will be solved in the future hopefully.
It totally depends on one's situation, but in our case we use negative margins as proposed by this thread or a box shadow since outline only applies to all borders and ie. outline-bottom does not exist.
/*

*/
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 red;
I also solved the iOS sub pixel gap issue (on a full screen site) by using overflow-x: hidden; to stop side ways scrolling & viewpoint scale to stop pitch zooming. I also had holder divs set at width: 101%; and all the elements/image divs inside set to float: left;. This means the sub pixel gaps are all on the left hand site but pushed out of view by the holder div set at 101% width.
Remove "clear:both" (if there is) from div below the gap.
I also had to solve this. If you are using Div's to define sections only then.
//background.css
.background-color {
background-color: blue;
}
.background-color div {
background-color: inherit;
}
I'd try playing with meta/viewport options, specifically setting initial scale to 1.0 and disabling user zooming.

How to get the app store icon glass effect on a webpage?

Is there any simple way to display the icon for my iphone apps on my webpage the same way they look in the appstore (i.e. with the glass effect and preferably with reflection)? I have very little experience in web coding so some sample code that I could just copy and paste would be great if this is possible. Thanks for any help.
Not the glass effect, but you can get the rounded corners and the reflection by using this CSS:
-webkit-box-reflect:below 0px -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom,
from(transparent), color-stop(0.8, transparent), to(rgba(0,0,0,0.5)));
-webkit-border-radius:12px;
-moz-border-radius:12px;
It only works for the reflection in WebKit-browsers (not yet all) and the rounded corners work in FireFox as well.
