iPhone has a UI structure called Chrome UI that shows up in native apps, see:
There are clues in how to implement it so that we can pin a toolbar UI to the bottom and have pages scroll in our embedded webview application. There is a certain website that has a developers FAQ showing examples on how to do this. You could try to do this in javascript but your application logic is usng javascript and thus youdo not want to overload that and thus a CSS solution is prefered.
Plus using CSS reduces the fiel count dwonto either two or one from three and thus one less point of failure. Thus, what is the technique? In Mr Wittusen's case since he might want to short cut doing the actual learning work he may have to pay 'cash points' to get that dev work completed. For everyone else, you probably already know where the artciles are being posted.
Tomorrow I will be posting videos of the finished user interface using the pin chrome toolbar to bottom with scrolling concept. I still hav my ajax library choice yet to be made; either dojo, mootools, or jquery, I am learning towards dojo due to the javascript execution time limits of 5 seconds.
