How do I align a label and a textarea?

    document.getElementById(&#39;container&#39;).addEventListener(&#39;copy&#39;,beforecopy,false );

In Chrome / Safari, the above will run the &quot;beforecopy&quot; function when the content on the page is being copied. MSIE is supposed to support this functionality as well, but for some reason I&#39;m getting this error:

&gt; &quot;Object doesn&#39;t support this property or method&quot;

Now, it&#39;s my understanding that Internet Explorer won&#39;t play with the body node, but I would have thought providing a node by ID would work fine. Does anyone have any ideas about what I&#39;m doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

I&#39;m struggling to find a good solution to this problem. In a view controller&#39;s `-viewWillDisappear:` method, I need to find a way to determine whether it is because a view controller is being pushed onto the navigation controller&#39;s stack, or whether it is because the view controller is disappearing because it has been popped.

At the moment I&#39;m setting flags such as `isShowingChildViewController` but it&#39;s getting fairly complicated. The only way I think I can detect it is in the `-dealloc` method.

I am attempting to update an app that implements a core data store.  I am adding an attribute to one of the entities. 

I added the following code to my delegate class:

    - (NSPersistentStoreCoordinator *)persistentStoreCoordinator {
    	
        if (persistentStoreCoordinator != nil) {
            return persistentStoreCoordinator;
        }
    	
        NSURL *storeUrl = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: [[self applicationDocumentsDirectory] stringByAppendingPathComponent: @&quot;Shoppee.sqlite&quot;]];
    	
    	NSError *error = nil;
        persistentStoreCoordinator = [[NSPersistentStoreCoordinator alloc] initWithManagedObjectModel:[self managedObjectModel]];
    	
    	NSDictionary *options = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    							 [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption,
    							 [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES], NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption, nil];
    	
        if (![persistentStoreCoordinator addPersistentStoreWithType:NSSQLiteStoreType configuration:nil URL:storeUrl options:options error:&amp;error]) {
    		NSLog(@&quot;Error: %@&quot;,error);
    		NSLog(@&quot;Unresolved error %@, %@&quot;, error, [error userInfo]);
    		abort();
        }    
    	
        return persistentStoreCoordinator;
    }

iPhone Core Data &quot;Automatic Lightweight Migration&quot;

I have some code that needs to run after the a `UIWebView` finishes loading a document.  For that I&#39;ve set the `UIWebView`&#39;s delegate to my controller, and implemented the `webViewDidFinishLoading` method.

This gets called multiple times, depending on the type of page to load.  I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s because of ajax requests, requests for images, or maybe even iframes.

Is there a way to tell that the main request has finished, meaning the HTML is completely loaded?

Or perhaps delay my code from firing until all of those events are done firing?

What is the most efficient/recommended way of comparing two NSDates?  I would like to be able to see if both dates are on the same day, irrespective of the time and have started writing some code that uses the timeIntervalSinceDate: method within the NSDate class and gets the integer of this value divided by the number of seconds in a day.  This seems long winded and I feel like I am missing something obvious.

The code I am trying to fix is:

    if (!([key compare:todaysDate] == NSOrderedDescending))
    {
        todaysDateSection = [eventSectionsArray count] - 1;
    }

where key and todaysDate are NSDate objects and todaysDate is creating using:

    NSDate *todaysDate = [[NSDate alloc] init];

I have a self-signed certificate at the endpoint of my API. I&#39;m trying to test some things using the simulator but am getting &quot;untrusted server certificate&quot;. 

I have tried to use safari on the simulator to download the .crt file, but that doesn&#39;t seem to work. 

Where does iPhone Simulator get its keychain from? How can I add a trusted certificate so my application will work?


**UPDATE**

I got it to work by creating a CA and then adding a CA certificate using the iPhone provisioning tool. Then I was able to have a certificate signed by that CA certificate on the API server and the NSConnection just worked. I was not able to get it to work using a self-signed certificate for some reason. I need to re-attempt this using the provisioning software.
 
My real question is how do I get this to work on the simulator? I would think that the simulator uses the keychain of the actual computer.

Adding a self-signed certificate to iphone Simulator?

I would like to ship a configuration profile with my iPhone application, and install it if needed. 

Mind you, we&#39;re talking about a configuration profile, not a provisioning profile.

First off, such a task is possible. If you place a config profile on a Web page and click on it from Safari, it will get installed. If you e-mail a profile and click the attachment, it will install as well. &quot;Installed&quot; in this case means &quot;The installation UI is invoked&quot; - but I could not even get that far.

So I was working under the theory that initiating a profile installation involves navigating to it as a URL. I added the profile to my app bundle.

**A)** First, I tried [sharedApp openURL] with the file:// URL into my bundle. No such luck - nothing happens.

**B)** I then added an HTML page to my bundle that has a link to the profile, and loaded it into a UIWebView. Clicking on the link does nothing. Loading an identical page from a Web server in Safari, however, works fine - the link is clickable, the profile installs. I provided a UIWebViewDelegate, answering YES to every navigation request - no difference.

**C)** Then I tried to load the same Web page from my bundle in Safari (using [sharedApp openURL] - nothing happens. I guess, Safari cannot see files inside my app bundle.

**D)** Uploading the page and the profile on a Web server is doable, but a pain on the organizational level, not to mention an extra source of failures (what if no 3G coverage? etc.).



**So my big question is: **how do I install a profile programmatically?**

And the little questions are: what can make a link non-clickable within a UIWebView? Is it possible to load a file:// URL from *my* bundle in Safari? If not, is there a local location on iPhone where I can place files and Safari can find them?

**EDIT on B):** the problem is somehow in the fact that we&#39;re linking to a profile. I renamed it from .mobileconfig to .xml (&#39;cause it&#39;s really XML), altered the link. And the link worked in my UIWebView. Renamed it back - same stuff. It looks as if UIWebView is reluctant to do application-wide stuff - since installation of the profile closes the app. I tried telling it that it&#39;s OK - by means of UIWebViewDelegate - but that did not convince. Same behavior for mailto: URLs within UIWebView.

**For mailto:** URLs the common technique is to translate them into [openURL] calls, but that doesn&#39;t quite work for my case, see scenario A.

For itms: URLs, however, UIWebView works as expected...

**EDIT2:** tried feeding a data URL to Safari via [openURL] - does not work, see here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/641461/iphone-open-data-url-in-safari

**EDIT3:** found a lot of info on how Safari does not support file:// URLs. UIWebView, however, very much does. Also, Safari on the simulator open them just fine. The latter bit is the most frustrating.

---------------------------------

**EDIT4:** I never found a solution. Instead, I put together a two-bit Web interface where the users can order the profile e-mailed to them.

Installing a configuration profile on iPhone - programmatically

Is there a way to slow down the internet connection to the iPhone Simulator, so as to mimic how the App might react when you are in a slow spot on the cellular network?

iPhone Simulator - Simulate a slow connection?

I have two apps on the iTunes store - both implement push notifications.  While I was testing sending notifications to these production apps, I noticed that a push intended for app A was titled and opened app B.  

Both of these apps are installed on the same phone.  I looked in my device table and saw that the device Tokens (and of course, the Device ID) listed for the two apps were both the same.  

As required, I am using two different certificates on the server - one for each app.  I sort of assumed the device Token or certificate would route the message to the right app but clearly it isn&#39;t.

I can see in NSLog that the tokens being sent from each app are indeed the same. 

Should the device Token be unique to each app?  If so, any idea how my test phone could be sending the same device token for both apps to my server.  Keep in mind this is from two apps currently on the app store.  

Thanks for any help!


Is the APN Device Token unique to each individual app?

I was under the impression that when you use a development provisioning profile for a build of an app, only the specified developers can deploy that build to a phone.

**But I just deployed a build that uses a development profile to a phone using Xcode Organizer, even though I&#39;m not one of the valid developers for that profile. One of my colleagues, who doesn&#39;t even have Xcode installed, did the same with his phone using iTunes.**

In that case, why not use a development provisioning profile for distributing your app to e.g. your QA team, instead of ad hoc distribution?

EDIT: Please read the part in bold carefully before answering. I&#39;m not asking a basic &quot;how does this work&quot; question. I&#39;ve made a lot of development, ad hoc, and app store builds, and now I find that I seem to have made some wrong assumptions.

Why not use development provisioning instead of ad hoc?

I am making an application in which I want to implement apple push notification  service.  I am following the step-by-step instructions given in [this tutorial](http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/programming-apple-push-notification-services?dm_switcher=true).

But still, the methods are not called. I don&#39;t know what is causing the problem. Can anyone help me?

        - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken { 
            //NSString * token = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:deviceTokenencoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
            NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@&quot;Device Token=%@&quot;,deviceToken];
            NSLog(@&quot;Device Token:%@&quot;,str);

            //NSLog(@&quot;Device token is called&quot;);
            //const void *devTokenBytes = [deviceToken bytes];
            //NSLog(@&quot;Device Token&quot;);
        }

        - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err { 
            NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat: @&quot;Error: %@&quot;, err];
            NSLog(@&quot;Error:%@&quot;,str);

I&#39;m working on a web app. How can I send push notifications to iOS users when there is new content?

How can a web application send push notifications to iOS devices?

These kind of question has been asked a number of times but i have some specific situation going on.

When my application is active and I receive a PUSH message i&#39;m successfully able to parse the custom payloads and such.

However when my application is in the background and the PUSH arrives the user has to click on the &#39;View/Open&#39; button in order to get the `didReceiveRemoteNotification` called and the `didFinishLaunchingWithOptions` is called after that.

I need to have my application decide if they have to prompt the user with an UIAlert when in the background or suppress the push message based on some local settings.

Any help would be appreciated,
