Using iframes with mobile sites?

Garble · 29th Dec 2013, 03:24 PM

I'm using jumpmobi to create mobile sites. I was thinking of creating a sub-domain on a client's server and using an iframe to load the mobile site that I made them and is sitting on my server.

The reason for doing this is:
1) I want to keep the mobile site on my server
2) I want the URL in the visitor's browser to remain the client's domain when they visit the mobile site

Do mobile browsers play nicely with iframes?

Garble really depends on the platform you are using. Some work best with Chrome and Safari. It would be best if you can include the URL of the page you are talking about so we can view it.

We wouldn't recommend the embedding an entire site inside of an iframe as it wasn't developed to be used in that way and may cause some of the features not to work.

You can still keep the same domain by creating a DNS record and pointing a subdomain to your own hosting.

Alternatively you can also put all the files on their hosting and have the database on your server.

If you need further assistant please free to open a support ticket with us.

Cheers,

Thanks guys. I'll create a DNS record for the subdomain.
