Splitview for iPad Safari?

CavemanUK · Jan 25, 2013

Is there a way to create a splitview using html5 and css3? something similar to the settings menu on ipads. So you have a scrollable list down the left hand side and a static details page on the right. its specifically for an ipad webapp. im looking at jquery mobile currently but cant see a way to do that. a shame as everything else in jqm looks awesome and is easy to code.

The key is to create 2 div containers mimicking a frame set, and apply "position: absolute; overflow: scroll" (or auto) to the scrollable list and "position:fixed; overflow: auto" to the static details page. See the tested/working code below and of course up to you to play with the positioning and overflow and sizes to suit your needs. Tis is a demo of the concept, not a perfect iPad template, please be informed. But still cool!

Code:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>My Fake iPad Settings Menu</title>
<style type="text/css">

body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
overflow: hidden;
height: 100%; 
max-height: 100%; 
}

#framecontent{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0; 
left: 0;
width: 200px; /*Width of frame div*/
height: 100%;
overflow: scroll; /*Disable or enable scrollbars. Set to "scroll" to enable*/
background: navy;
color: white;
}

#maincontent{
position: fixed;
top: 0; 
left: 200px; /*Set left value to WidthOfFrameDiv*/
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
overflow: auto; 
background: #fff;
}

.innertube{
margin: 15px; /*Margins for inner DIV inside each DIV (to provide padding)*/
}

* html body{ /*IE6 hack*/
padding: 0 0 0 200px; /*Set value to (0 0 0 WidthOfFrameDiv)*/
}

* html #maincontent{ /*IE6 hack*/
height: 100%; 
width: 100%; 
}

</style>


</head>

<body>

<div id="framecontent">
<div class="innertube">
