Despite being marketed as an entertainment device rather than a mobile platform for business, the iPad continues to gain traction as a mobile device for the next generation business user. For some organizations, the rich user interaction and usability afforded by the iPad is a compelling reason to work towards cross-platform capability or iPad specific versions of line-of-business systems. In this session we’ll review custom iPad specific enhancements for SharePoint 2010, including changes to the user interface based on the orientation of the device.
Presented at SharePoint Saturday Austin, TX (January 21, 2012).

6. SHAREPOINT 2010 COMPATIBILITY
• SharePoint 2010 is cross browser compatible out of the box
• Fully Supported: IE7 (32bit), IE8 (32bit), IE9 (32bit)
• Supported w/ Limitations: IE7 (64bit), IE8 (64bit), IE9 (64bit),
Firefox 3.6 (Win & Non-Win),
Safari 4.04 (non-Win)
• Safari iPad !=
Is your custom markup cross browser compatible? iPod
Safari iPhone Safari !=

7. DEVICE ORIENTATION DETECTION
• Consumer adoption leading to growth in the business sector
• New ability to touch and interact with business data
• Increased user experience
• Efficiently manage limited screen real estate

9. CSS APPROACH
• Utilizes orientation aware Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
• Little overhead, no code or script required
• Detects Portrait vs. Landscape
• Browser determines ratio of browser width vs. height
• Use to display, hide, or change size of elements for specific
orientations
• Ideal for integrating orientation detection with site-wide branding

10. SUPPORTED ORIENTATIONS
Portrait Landscape

11. ATTACHING STYLE SHEETS
• Standard “link” tag with media attribute
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:portrait)” href=“portrait.css” />
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:landscape)” href=“landscape.css” />
• Cross-Browser Support
<!--[if !IE]><! --> All style sheets should be attached after Core.css
and custom CSS registrations.
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:portrait)” href=“portrait.css” />
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:landscape)” href=“landscape.css” />
<!--<![endif]-->
<!—[if IE]>
<link rel=“stylesheet” media=“all and (orientation:landscape)” href=“landscape.css” />
<![endif]-->

12. EXAMPLES
• Hide Quick Launch when • Hide any content with the
device is in Portrait orientation “notPortrait” class; similar to
ues of “s4-notdlg”.
Portrait.css Portrait.css
#s4-leftpanel { .notPortrait {
display: none; display: none;
} }
.s4-ca {
margin-left: 0px;
}

14. SCRIPTED APPROACH
• Utilizes client-side script (Javascript/jQuery)
• Scripted specifically for iPad
• Identifies numerical orientation value
• Orientation value returned by device hardware/accelerometer
• Uses:
• Bind functions to orientation changes
• Animate element changes
• Make changes to the Document Object Model (DOM)
1/7/2012 Enhancing SharePoint 2010 for the iPad 14
15. SUPPORTED ORIENTATIONS
-90° 0° 90° 180°
1/7/2012 Enhancing SharePoint 2010 for the iPad 15
16. SCRIPTING ORIENTATION DETECTION
<script type=“text/javascript”>
function ProcessOrientation(currentOrientation) { // Handle orientation processing
if (currentOrientation == 0 || currentOrientation == 180) {
// Is Portrait
} else if (currentOrientation == 90 || currentOrientation == -90) {
// Is Landscape
}
}
var isiPad = navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) != null;
if (isiPad) { // Process only if true
ProcessOrientation(window.orientation); // Process initial orientation
window.onorientationchange = function() { // Process when orientation changes
ProcessOrientation(window.orientation);
}
}
</script>

17. EXAMPLES
• Hide Quick Launch when • Hide any content with the
device is in Portrait orientation “notPortrait” class; similar to
ues of “s4-notdlg”.
jQuery jQuery
if (Portrait) { if (Portrait) {
$(“#s4-leftpanel”).hide(); $(“.notPortrait”).hide();
$(“.s4-ca”).css(“marginLeft”, 0); }
} if (Landscape) {

$(“#s4-leftpanel”).show(); }
$(“.s4-ca”).css(“marginLeft”, “150px”);
}

18. ADVANCED EXAMPLES
• Hide Quick Launch with • Move contents of one
animation when device is in container to another, and back
Portrait orientation again
jQuery jQuery
if (Portrait) { if (Portrait) {
$(“#s4-leftpanel”).animate( $(“#C1”).clone().appendTo(“#C2”);
[“left”: “=-150px”], “slow” $(“#C1”).html(“”);
); }
$(“.s4-ca”).animate( if (Landscape) {

22. HTML5 VIDEO
• No third party plugin support on the iPad, only option for embedded
video is use of HTML5
• HTML5 standard dictates support for embedded video with <video>
tag
• HTML5 does NOT standardize video format
IE Firefox Safari Chrom Opera iOS

Ogg 3.5+ ‡ 5.0+ 10.5+
(Theora/Vorbis)
H.264/AAC/MP4 3.0+ 5.0+ 3.0+

shipped with QuickTime while other formats require additional client-side plugins.
† WebM video format available in IE9 with downloaded codec.

23. HTML5 VIDEO TAG
<video width=“640” height=“360” controls>
<!-- MP4 file must be first for iPad compatibility -->
<source src=“video.mp4” type=“video/mp4” /> <!-- Safari/iOS -->
<source src=“video.ogv” type=“video/ogg” /> <!-- Firefox/Opera/Chrome10 -->
<!-- fallback to Flash -->
<object width=“640” height=“360” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash”

24. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
• iPad passes embedded video requests to QuickTime for rendering
• QuickTime lacks support for any proxy or authentication methods, and
iPads cannot join a domain
• Video files must be anonymously accessible
