NO, No, No! Its a business decision on Apple's and your part. Apple made the rules to protect its hardware it up to the developer to decide if they want to follow said rules.

Small tip: When you have to work with the DOM, try using a library. It completely abstracts away any incompatibility/issues/bugs in/between browsers with respect to traversing/modifying the DOM, hooking up/unhooking events and so on. A lot of people swear by writing raw JS but if you know the basics...

The complete lack of understanding of the topic at hand by some of the posters here is befuddling. The issue is that Apple is completely blocking any app which isn't written in objective C/C++. This means any platform which lets the developer write code once and deploy for any platform is screwed. N...

Seriously, I was disappointed, but I've gotten over it already.
