After researching on Stack Overflow and Google, I have been trying to find a reliable method to hide the toolbars on iOS 7 since the old scroll trick is no longer effective.
I came across this resource:
I attempted the following code:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<style type="text/css">
*
{
padding: 0;
border: 0;
outline: 0;
margin: 0;
}
html,
body
{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
div.content
{
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 320px;
height: 480px;
background: orange;
}
#scroller {
height: 100%;
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
overflow: scroll;
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body class="default">
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
setInterval(function(){
if((window.orientation == 90 || window.orientation == -90) && window.innerHeight != window.outerHeight) {
$('#scroller').show();
} else {
$('#scroller').hide();
}
}, 1000);
</script>
<div class="content">
<div id="scroller" style="z-index: 100000;position: fixed;top:0;left:0;right:0;bottom:0;">
Scroll up!
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Unfortunately, the scrollbars do not hide when scrolling up. While the #scroller element hides and shows based on the visibility of the toolbars, it does not hide completely when scrolling up, causing the toolbars to reappear.
Is there a misinterpretation in my implementation?
