Safari on iPad and Windows

Just wondering iPad version and windows version of Safari behave the same? If a website is tested on Safari on W开发者_C百科indows, do I have to test it on iPad?? Never used iPad before. Please advise. Thanks

You definitely have to, there are some cumbersome issues you may have to solve. Just an example: a scrollable DIV (very common, nowadays) or an old IFRAME (now quite rare) won't scroll, or better, should be scrolled using two fingers instead of one, and no iPad user know that. Sensitive web designers avoid scrollable sub-elements when serving a page to an iPad/iPhone user.

More, even the newest iPad hardware is slow and sluggish if compared to your computer, so you better see how your website loads, and not only how it looks.

Hope it helps.

They basically run the same but the iDevices use a more lighter mobile version of javascript. Layout should be much the same though. Testing is always a good idea though.
