Intuitive? I'm not sure you understand that word.

Intuitive? I'm not sure you understand that word.
- axod 18y agoOK, what other method could you have to scroll a div/iframe? It was the first one that I thought might work, so I tried it. Unless I'm mistaken that made it intuitive for me. I do get your point though - for some people it's not obvious...
- jcl 18y agoWhy not use the same mechanism you use to scroll the main document window?
- axod 18y agobecause then if the iframe covers the whole screen, it'd be impossible to scroll the document?
- jcl 18y agoI would expect the standard scrolling gesture to scroll the iframe -- unless the iframe is already scrolled all the way in that direction, in which case it applies the scroll to the iframe's container. This behavior is intuitive, if slightly inconvenient in some cases, which is exactly the trade-off I'd have expected Apple to make. Requiring an unfamiliar multitouch gesture for a common operation strikes me as the kind of "let's do something cool because we can" geekery that got us middle-click-to-paste in X Windows. I'm curious: what does the iPhone use to scroll an iframe in an iframe? Three fingers?
- PieSquared 18y agoSorry for the off topic comment but I have to say... I love middle-click-to-paste in X Windows! Hooray geekery.
- d0mine 18y ago"Intuitive" means I did similar things a hundred times in the past.
