jQuery and the iPad

[PhotoWebMax]

Just finishing up my first PW site. 

I am using a basic jQuery script for my top navigation and the Fancybox slideshow system for the gallery. Everything works but I really notice that the script is not as smooth on the iPad as it is on a desktop system.

Is there any code that can "help" increase iPad smoothness here?

Thanks!

Do you know whether it is not so smooth because of connection speed or some other reason.

I have pretty solid connection speed in the house. What I notice is that on my Mac there is a nice smooth transition movement from one image to the next. That is missing on the iPad. On the iPad it looks like one image is switched plainly, without the little eye candy that I get  on the desktop. This is by now means a real deal breaker. Just wondering if there is some specific iPad viewport code that goes into the head of my template, etc...

If speed is not an issue, it might be something to do with easing that the iPad browser does not like very much. If you can change what sort of transition is happening and try a simpler one, that might give you a clue as to what is happening.

Give tosrus a try. You might get better results. It is also licenced under the MIT licence so you can use it for commercial use without paying for a licence although a donation is appreciated by the author if you do so.

It supports scrolling and swiping. You can use Hammer.js with it for touch gestures.
