Question

How do I hide the address bar on iPhone?

I tried two different methods so far:

• The scroll down one pixel trick with JavaScript on page load

I think it will never be solved unless the content is more than the browser window.

Here is some code that will hide the URL on load, on orientation change, and on a touchstart (the touchstart should only be used if you have a persistent hidden URL, which is a whole other can of worms - if you don't, remove that part of the script).

if( !window.location.hash && window.addEventListener ){
    window.addEventListener("load", function() {
        setTimeout(function(){
            window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        }, 0);
    });
    window.addEventListener( "orientationchange",function() {
        setTimeout(function(){
            window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        }, 0);
    });
    window.addEventListener( "touchstart",function() {
         setTimeout(function(){
             window.scrollTo(0, 0);
         }, 0);
     });
}
