Masking the URL bar on an iphone web application

With the firmware 2.1, it’s possible to mask the URL bar with a meta tag. Previous this meta tag instruction, the masking was done with javascript code.

 

Adding <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" /> instruction in the HTML code will result in masking the URL bar.

Take attention that this instruction is only valid when your webapp is added as the home screen.
