Changing iFrame user agent in Safari

hyperipod · 11-06-2010, 08:58 PM

I'm creating a customized homepage for Safari 5 on my 15" MBP.

It's four websites side by side (Gizmodo mobile, Engadget mobile, MacRumors mobile, Yahoo! Mail Mobile).

MacRumors and Yahoo! Mail work just fine.

But on Engadget and Gizmodo, when I click on a link, it goes on the full website and I can't see the whole page because of the size of my iFrame.

But both of them work the way I wan't when I change my user agent to iPhone.

Can I assign a user agent to an iFrame or the whole page? Or is there any other way around?

Thanks.

Here's the code of my Homepage for now:

Vous parlez français, non ?
There's no real way to do this without setting the user-agent string for the entire browser, as far as I can tell. You may be able to do this in JavaScript, but it would involve AJAX somehow.
I think you should seriously consider using Google Reader, though.
Also worth nothing is that your iframes all have the same name.
