My site is termlifecomparison.com.
Here’s what it looks like on the iPhone (when I press the “observe pricing” button). Will post again with the screen shot in Android.
On my Nexus, the quote results displayed still are wider than what can be shown; but, the site responds better by letting the site visitor scroll right and left to see the content, whereas on the iphone, the only way to see the quote number is to flip the phone to the right . . . and even then, it’s still showing the results outside the border.
Any suggestions, here? I’ll post the site login credentials in a hidden post, next.
This reply has been marked as private.Hello There,
Thanks for writing in and the very detailed information. Regretfully there isn’t much you can do from a content that is generate within the iframe. Yo do not have any content of the contents and its styling inside the iframe. What you are trying to achieve is a subject of the same origin policy. In other words you can’t edit the contents of an external iframe.
Hope this explains it briefly.
So, are you saying that to fix this, I would need to be able to edit the target of the iframe, i.e. the vendor providing the quoting service?
I guess I just find it strange that it works fine with Android but gets wonky with the iPhone.
Oh, well. Thanks for your help, Rue!
Hi there,
Thanks for updating. If the original source is not optimized for iPhone then you will face issue with iPhone and you can’t do anything from the end where you have embedded the iframe.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers!
OK. Thanks, Rupok. Quick follow-up to add to the knowledge base a bit (I hope!).
I played around with it some more and discovered that by removing the column container, the landscape view on iphone actually functions properly (stays inside the border, shows full content). So, to deal with the other issue (where the quotes spill outside of the borders in portrait view / upright phone), I simply added a section visible only to mobile phone users that instructs them to turn their phones sideways to view complete results. I think that’s an adequate fix for me, for now.
The ability to show/hide elements based on screen size is pretty damn cool, by the way.
Thanks so much for all you guys do!
Thanks for sharing.
