Problems with the ipad/iphone and my new website

    Hi all. I've just finished coding up my first proper website and having tested it on all the browsers you can install on a windows PC I was hoping that things would go painlessly. Not so...

    When I borrowed my friends ipad and looked the page took an absolute age to load. And sometimes it wouldn't load at all. After checking other websites etc I'm sure it's not the connection. I have some Javascript I had never used before, could this be causing the problem? Sometimes it looks like it's taking a long time loading the FB, google and twitter buttons. Do they cause problems on iphones and ipads?

    Unfortunately my problem is made worse because I can't easily get my hands on an ianything as I don't own one myself and all the emulators/simulators I've found don't appear to be 100% authentic. So it'd even be useful if someone could tell me if they have problems too.

    Can anyone help me out?
    the site's at www.traditionalirishgifts.com

    I'd appreciate it :)

    Hello,

    Few tips:

    1. Have you optimize the images as much as you can?

    2. Try make sure most of the styling is CSS, not images making it look nice.

    3. Have seperate css styles for different devices.

    Example:
    I did try load it on my phone took a while, but works. The drop down menu worked as well.

    Regards,
    Adam
