Scrollbars on the iPad?

Post by Wayne C. »

One of our users was doing a run thru of the Genie renderings on an ipad and discovered that scrollbars were not appearing on grids. (He was using Safari and we are on the most current release of Genie) Is there a setting that needs to be set? I thought I read something on one of the forums regarding scrollbars on the ipad but can't find the topic. Also did a scan of the various release change listings but didn't find mention of a change. I'm continuing to search.

Appreciate any help in advance.

Wayne,

The issue here is that Genie uses a special scrollbar that emulates a page up or page down keypress. This is the only option as Genie can only interact with the program through the 5250 interface.

Apparently Safari on iPad doesn't support this option. I know you are in a testing mode, so let me offer a couple of options.

1. If you can wait for version 4.0 that should be out in the next month or so, there will be new features added specifically for mobile devices such as the iPad. These should take care of your issue.

2. If your project time table prevents you from waiting for that, you can add page up and page down buttons to your genie skin to get you rolling again. Contact me at support@profoundlogic.com if you need assistance in doing this.
