WD6 pages not 'iPhone friendly'

[Xcellent]

Selecting text on WD6 generated websites on the iPhone is strange.

E.g. selecting range of text is impossible. You can select a word but if you try to select more than 2 words, it selects the entire website. It's either one word - or the whole website.

Selecting words on other websites works fine on the iPhone.

I believe this has to do with text being positioned via <div, left, top ...> by WD, and not using <p> paragraphs.

In WD6 you can export a block text applying "HTMLBlockText" name to the text object. It will produce the result you want, but it's much less WYSIWYG and it doesn't support repelling and tabs.

And it's not specially iPhone not friendly. iPhone's Safari is not a fully functional browser anyway. For example, you can not see the title pop-ups in it no matter what. Can you?

On the other hand, you can select ranges of text in the real Safari so really, it's a complain to Apple why their iPhone Safari implementation is inferior to the original browser.
