I haven't seen your previous post, but are you using tables? If not i suggest that you do, then probably even on the iphone browsser it should look ok.

On a computer you can easily tab through HTML checkboxes on a website, but is there any way to make it so that on an iPhone when you hit the 'next' button it goes to a checkbox? I've noticed it'll go between text boxes and drop down menus, but it won't do it for checkboxes or clickable buttons. Is this an issue with the iPhone, or is it something I can change on my website?
Can you please be a bit more precise with your question. And if its the size of the checkbox that is a concern which makes it non tappable, then as suggested by the user interface guide of apple ios, please make the size as 44x44 to make it tappable. Well thats just a suggestible size and I believe a 25x25 size may solve your issue.
I am trying to build an app similar to USAToday i.e. each "article" is a mix of images and text that the user scrolls vertically to read if it covers more than than the size of the screen. Scrolling horizontally brings up the next article and so on.
Each article should have "paging enabled" so that the content moves as if you are turning a page in a book whether you are moving vertically or horizontally.
I must have looked at every tutorial for Scroll and Page navigation, but I am drawing a blank. Any help is much appreciated.
BTW: I have down loaded this tutorial....
http://www.edumobile.org/iphone/iphone-programming-tutorials/pagecontrol-example-in-iphone/
... but (a) it builds ok but simulator only shows a featureless black screen, and I cannot work out how to correct it, and (b) it only scrolls horizontally.
The sample code that you reference is old so I think something has changed in the SDK since then. I was able to at least get the code to run by changing the MainWindow.xib file. I opened that file in Interface Builder and then selected the Window and then in the Window Attributes Inspector I ticked "Visible at Launch". Then the tutorial would at least run and show the colors. I think you might find that there are more issues with it though.
When you are wanting to page something, the real trick is setting the content size of the scroll view.
This StackOverflow question has some good information that might help you get going.
I have seen a lot of iphone apps which provide an easy to use navigation controll for text fields, which contains next previous and done.
What is the technique for this? any
sample code?
they also scroll the screen until
the selected textField is placed on
top of the keyboard, how do they do
that?
Sorry I don't have direct answers, these are the best I could find off the top of my head:
For 1, take a look at first responders, it seems to be what you're looking for.
For 2, you will have to make it manually. See this article.
I'm an iPhone developer, but new to web development. I've done some basic HTML websites and made one in iWeb as well. I'm trying to branch out to mobile web development now, so I checked out Dashcode.
Anyway, I'm trying to put a Call Button, Mail Button, and Map Button in horizontal alignment. I realize that I can add a Column Layout and have two buttons in a row, but that's the most I've gotten.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit: I still haven't figured this out yet. I was given advice about a fixed position button bar, but I am not sure how to implement it. I've been looking at code, but haven't gotten it yet. Still trying though. Any help is appreciated!
What i do usually is to select the element you can't align horizontally and then go to the inspector -> dimension tab and in disposition you select fixed absolute.
This should work but beware because if you've the intention to change element's place dynamically you may have some surprise...
I think you are looking for something like this.
A fixed position button bar is created with several buttons side by side.

My users need to enter latitude and longitude, and of course I need to verify that the values entered are legitimate lat/long value. I'd like to have a keyboard layout that does some of this for me (eliminating alphabetic characters, punctuation, etc, and leaving only the numbers and +/-). The number pad keyboard doesn't seem to do it (missing +/-) and neither do any other keyboard layouts that come with the SDK. Does anyone know if there is a way to provide that capability without doing my own keyboard IME and jailbreaking the phone?
Thanks!
I know this is answer is way late, but this topic was still relevant to me. Therefore I have hope the following will help someone who comes across this page.
Bryan S. Gruver posted a full Xcode project that lambdabunny could modify ever so slightly in order to achieve their aim. You can find it here:

Update
The Squarespace link is now broken. Another option is:
https://github.com/lnafziger/Numberpad
How about placing a "+/-" button next to your UITextView that would switch the sign of the entered text? Or a "+" button that appears to the left of it that switches the button label from "+" to "-" each time you tap it.
You don't have to jailbreak.
If you create a view to simulate the keyboard you're still following the SDK rules.
