hi all,

Getting odd behavior from couple of clients sites where they've embedded the HTML5 / Flash fallback '.php' page into an iFrame : when choosing full screen, the pano slows and the whole web page / iFrame stretches very slowly.....:

http://www.balaamwood.co.uk (published May 2013) and
http://www.lymebrook-newhomes.co.uk (the Ripley show home published last week, the Thetford, January 2013)

Is this simply because the 'full screen' action is for Flash only?

Simple answer ASAP please - client wants resolving ASAP!

- bump -

checking other sites for the same client, this tour is having the same issue:
http://www.dukesmeadow.co.uk

However, this one is working okay toggling full screen mode: http://www.willowpark-langwith.co.uk

Help!

Hi Stu,
The version that works is using a table and has all the HTML code in tha page.
The one thats not working is using an iFrame.

The code thats being used is:

Code: Select all

<iframe src="/virtual_tour/galloway.php" style="border:0;margin-left:5px" width="790" height="450" border="0" id="vtFrame"></iframe>
The better code would be the following as it has the fullscreen parameter and the scrolling="no" parameter to stop the expansion:

Code: Select all

<iframe src="/virtual_tour/galloway.php" id="vtFrame" width="790" height="450" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" style="float:left; margin-left:0px" allowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
This should also give you proper fullscreen with Flash and HTML5, but not on an iPad as this does not recognise the fullscreen API.
Regards,
Hopki

Hi,
my customer tries to put a panorama on his web using iframe, everything works properly but fullscreen does not work at all on iPhone/iPad.
As I do not own any iOs devices, can not check it.
Is there a iframe code that works for all devices?
Moreover, he reports that fullscreen does not work on iOs even in simple panorama, like this http://gidcity.burbon.tmweb.ru//panoram ... /pano.html
Thanks!

HI Jar,
Sadly Apple do not support the fullscreen API on the iPad.
The link you give is fullscreen?

I noticed that the buttons could do with a bit more spacing as the menu and fullscreen buttons are very close together. The same with the zoom buttons.

Use the iframe code in my post above, but as said Apple does not support the fullscreen API in mobile Safari.
The parameter scrolling="no" is what stops the frame expanding.
