I second that @speg. My disappointment went beyond slow transitions though.

One instance, for example, was in having "fixed" header/footer on the web-app. The rendition of fixed elements would fade-out and fade-in again once user stopped scrolling. This really felt naive and I decided to do that part myself instead.

Obviously, now the situation has improved that we have property 'fixed' acknowledged on the iPad Safari. Will give 1.1 a look again, thanks to this heads-up!



I was surprised by the lack of fixed headers/footers, too. They say it's coming, but in the mean time you can use iScroll without any side-effects:

And, as you say, use the 'fixed' CSS in newer Safari versions that support it.


Well, they say it's done by taking "advantage of native scrolling":

And there obviously is improvement over the previous version, in that, earlier there was some flickering of fixed elements on desktop view-port.

I stand corrected, and appreciate the effort jQuery team.
