Just noticed this, but if you set a div to a fixed width, any content that overflows the width is truncated, and iPhone safari does not provide a scroll bar, even if overflow is set to scroll. Update: If you use two fingers, you can scroll within the overflowed div.
Update: I’ve created a separate entry for the iPhone meta viewport tag plugin. And yes, before you jump on me in the comments, an iPhone specific plugin is probably a little too specific (or twee for that matter.) I spent iPhoneDevCamp poking around inside of WordPress, instead of joining one of the development teams since [...]

Elizabeth Perry has my favorite iPhone image so far, from her watercolor sketchbook. And yes, I went and bought one last night. The one I get at the end of July will go to Cynthia.
Bret Victor discusses the ideas behind his 2007 Apple Design Award winning BART schedule Dashboard Widget in his essay Magic Ink: Information Software and the Graphical Interface.
Daniel Jalkut mentions the support for Markdown in MarsEdit. I love Markdown, but I don’t want to install a Markdown output filter for WordPress. What I’d like to see is an option to convert the post in MarsEdit to and from Markdown, so I can publish XHTML, and convert back to Markdown if I edit [...]
From McSweeney’s imagined user guide to the iPhone: XVII. Using the iPhone to assist Nicole Kidman in playing a frankly commercial Mrs. Coulter in the new adaptation of The Golden Compass without losing the anti-Miltonian vibe or the stuff about the Magisterium. I don’t know if that’s possible, considering they threw away Stoppard’s script, and [...]
I recently turned my Civic into an iPod case. Navigating an iPod interface while driving isn’t a good idea, and neither is pressing skip over and over, so I need better playlists. Jason Kottke’s discovery rule for things you haven’t heard in a long time (but haven’t skipped.) Andy Budd’s rules for bubbling up newer [...]
Now that’s validation. And if you’re on MacOS X and haven’t checked out Todd’s XML tools, do so.
Mark Nottingham looks at a barcoded bottle of wine, and the iSight embedded in a MacBook and thinks, Safari should be smart enough to automatically navigate to a page with details for that bottle (e.g., a map of where it was produced, its winery, tasting notes, and similar wines). Hey, Mark, meet Bruce Sterling, who [...]
Todd’s released a new version of XML Nanny, his parsing and validation tool for Mac OS X. This new version supports an exhaustive list of validators: DTD, XML Schema, Relax NG (XML and simplified syntax), and Schematron.
hAtom‘s not useful until you have a way to get from a blog’s summary page to an Atom feed. Chris Casciano wrote an AppleScript wrapping xsltproc that reads an hAtom page, applies the hAtom2Atom.xsl transform, and hands the result back to NetNewsWire. Note: Scott Reynen points out that the script doesn’t work with NNW 2.1 [...]
