(JavaScript) Preventing elastic scrolling on iDevice - timothypwalter

If you a flick a web app past the bottom or top of the page, the page itself gets elastically tugged away from the URL bar or the button bar (or the bottom/top of the screen if it's in full-screen mode). This behavior is another giveaway that your app isn't native, and it's rarely the behavior you want in a native app. To stop this behavior, capture touchmove events on the document in JavaScript and cancel them. You can do this by adding a handler to the body tag, and invoking the preventDefault method on the event object:

(JavaScript) How To Connect To A SOCKS Proxy From An Unjailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch - shaunchapman

Let's say, perhaps, that you are already forwarding your web traffic through an SSH/SOCKS tunnel at work (for privacy reasons that have absolutely no relation to accessing blocked sites LOL!) and you would like to use that same tunnel on your iPhone/iPod Touch. This is actually pretty easy to accomplish. First, you need to make sure the SOCKS tunnel on your work computer allows LAN connections so your iPhone/iPod Touch can connect to it. To do this, you simply need to add `-g` to your existing SSH command (something like `ssh -N -g -D 1080 user@domain.com`). Most people think you can't connect to a SOCKS proxy from an iPhone/iPod Touch without jailbreaking it but the truth is you can. You simply have to create a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) file, insert the function below in it (replace the *x*'s with your IP and the *y*'s with the port you used after the `-D` in your SSH command), and save it to a web accessible place with a *.pac* extension. If you're reading this chances are you know how to serve a file over HTTP on your work LAN, so I won't delve into that. Finally, on your iPhone/iPod Touch, go to *Settings > Wifi* and click the blue arrow to the right of your work network, scroll to the bottom, click *Auto* and type in the address to your PAC file (*e.g. http://192.168.xx.xx/mysupersecretproxy.pac*). Congrats! Now you can surf the web securely from your iPhone/iPod touch ;)
