Hi, happy to have found not only an editor for iPad, but one that can be done in HTML! However, before buying I have three questions.
1. Does my test run HTML app only compiled once I buy the application?
2. Before buying it, is it definitely convertible to an Apple .api file that can only be used on a mobile device?
3. Lastly, is there a workaround to get the apple swipe functionality, so that a user can swipe instead of hitting a button?

Thanks,
Joanne

Sorry, I have one more question that I forgot to ask in my previous email. 🙂

I was hoping that the app can only be seen in horizontal mode. Is there a way of turning off the vertical mode? For some reason the text and images don’t wrap right this way (also images are all wide landscape mode pics).

I look forward to the answers for my four questions.

Thanks,
Joanne

We would love to have your business. Following are some answers to your questions.

1 & 2) A service for packaging your mobile web app to native application is in development and is expected to be available for early access testing beginning in Oct.

3) Swipe action is not available yet.

4) Laying out a UI for different screen sizes (aspect ratios) such as when you change device orientation is explained in this tutorial. It mainly discusses use of Panel widgets and the Auto-Resize property of most components.

Images that are stretched because of resize properties during rotation to landscape are not handled automatically. What I do in my UI’s is either prevent rotation to the undesirable orientation or I programmatically change images. Both of these approach require a little bit of javascript.
