The new "minimal ui" setting in iOS 7.1 is great for landscape websites. My web app uses a fullscreen, absolute positioned div for its content, to give it an app-like feeling. But Safari seems to add just the height of the URL bar at the bottom. I have tried this on different iPhones, same result...
Here is how it looks after the pages loaded:
Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong or missing?
Click for example (view on iPhone with iOS >= 7.1)
I had same problem with iPhone5+ios7.1+minimal-ui. This code successfully fixes this trouble.
window.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
// Do not scroll when keyboard is visible
if (document.activeElement === document.body && window.scrollY > 0) {
document.body.scrollTop = 0;
}
}, true);
check out this post: Gray area visible when switching from portrait to landscape using iOS 7.1 minimal-ui
this fixed it for me:
window.scrollTo(0,0);
setting every time a resize event occurs.
$(window).resize(function(){
document.body.scrollTop = 0;
})
