I just today realized this was an issue that needed to be addressed. (I don’t own an iPhone or iTouch, but my site logs have occasionally indicated the necessary icons were being searched for but not found.) Thanks a lot for this informative post, including the helpful screenshots.

Hi JDawson, I think it has something to do with frames in your main domain. The icon will come from your top level frame and if it’s not there it won’t show up.

Hi HAGVIST, as far as I know there is no way to do this, but I could be wrong. If there is, it is highly unlikely you can have it auto add. Most iPhone user actions like bookmarking or saving have a confirmation dialogue.

Thank you for your tutorial. It was very helpful. I am wondering if there is a known way to make this process more user friendly for website viewers.

What I mean is:

Is there a script to attach to a button, on the website that will automatically either bring the iphone user to the “add to home screen page” or even better auto add the icon.

Thanks,

HAGVIST

Yes – I understand but the root-of-server is often hard to identify for sure! iWeb tends to create an ‘outer’ minimal index.html file then a folder with the site inside containing an ‘inner’ index file. Trying to use either of these seems ineffective for me (I have different websites uploaded to a remote server and synced to an old Mac on site), whereas inserting in the entry page html (home, say) works fine.
