Very cool, but I seem to be having issues with it on the iPhone. Your site loaded correctly in portrait on the first load, but when I rotated to landscape there was an additional black bar maybe 100px wide on the right side of the page, allowing horizontal scroll. Once you've rotated to landscape, the page does not resize back to portrait until you close the page and open it again.

Right, for some reason, after rotating to landscape and then rotating back to portrait, you have to zoom in before you can zoom back out. I assume this is due to the meta viewport properties in use:

initial-scale=1.0, width=device-width, height=device-height

Without height=device-height, rotating to landscape screws up the zooming completely. With it, your bug happens. The only solution for both problems is setting maximum-scale=1, and that’s no solution at all.

Ideas?

Iiinteresting…. Can I ask which iPhone and version of iOS you’re using?

It’s funny how the most problematic browser these days seems to not be IE6, but Mobile Safari. :|
