“Open With” in iOS PhoneGap Apps
Let’s say that you have a PhoneGap app that has access to documents, but you want to open those documents in a different application outside of your PhoneGap application.

Odd WebKit Bug with Elements
I stumbled upon a really odd bug in my current project, which I can only attribute to the WebKit browser engine, since I was able to recreate this in a UIWebView on iOS (in PhoneGap) and in Chrome on OS X – WebKit is the common engine in both. It’s a bizarre issue that is […]
