CNET CiUI
Vladimir Olexa at CNET has written an iPhone UI that mimics Joe Hewitt’s iUI framework. It’s called CiUI and provides an iPhone look and feel. Read Vladimer’s CNET post for more.

According to the CNET post, CiUI can be downloaded from CNETs client side javascript library page. I went to the page, scrolled around and found a CiUI checkbox. Checking this and clicking Download displayed a prompt asking if I wanted to open or save a file called “clientsite-trunk-350.compressed.js”

I’ve never run across compressed javascript so I saved it locally and then opened it in Textpad. It was one continuous line of code; e.g no line breaks. I played around with this for a bit but couldn’t get it into a useable source code format.

So, I went back to Vladimir’s main CNET posting and followed the “view source code link” which led to me to Google’s CNET source code management site. Not knowing how to work the site, I ended up downloading several modules including a css, js, htm, and php module. Also, an images subdirectory held three png’s and a gif which got downloaded.

Not sure why, but all the source code was a single line with no line break formatting. I started to manually insert line breaks, but got tired and quit and just used the demo code as downloaded. The result can be seen at the link below. Use your iPhone.
The page kind-of works, but it’s got problems, like there’s no Back button and no horizontal scrolling. I’ll need to look into these issues. I probably need to download the library again, only this time use the correct download procedure.

CNETs demo application is now running in my environment (e.g. Yahoo Hosting), so, I figured, why not clone CNETs code and see how iPhone Cafe’s Wordpress weblog might fit in the framework? The link below is the first attempt: iPhone Cafe via CiUI [...]
