Default

actually with the iphone there are limitations
In general, Safari on iPhone does not support any third-party plug-ins or features that require access to the file system. The following web technologies are not supported on iPhone:

* Modal dialogs

Don’t use window.showModalDialog() or window.print() in JavaScript.

* Mouse-over events

The user cannot “mouse-over” an element on iPhone. Therefore, Safari on iPhone translates mouseover events to mousedown events. Although a mouseover event may be sent before a mousedown event, you should not rely on mouseover events on iPhone. Use the mousedown event to implement your handlers.

* Hover styles

Since a mouseover event is sent only before a mousedown event, hover styles are displayed only if the user taps and holds a clickable element with a hover style. Read “Handling Events” for all the events generated by gestures on iPhone.

* Tooltips

Similar to hover styles, tooltips are not displayed unless the user taps and holds a clickable element with a tooltip.

* Java applets
* Flash

Don’t bring up JavaScript alerts that ask users to download Flash.

* SVG
* XSLT
* Plug-in installation
* Custom x.509 certificates
* WML

* File uploads and downloads

Safari on iPhone does not support file uploading, that is, <input type="file"> elements. If your webpage includes an input-file control, Safari on iPhone disables it.

Because iPhone does not support file downloads, do not prompt the user to download plug-ins like Flash on iPhone. See “Using the Safari on iPhone User Agent String” for how to detect Safari on iPhone.

By default, Safari on iPhone blocks pop-up windows. However, it is a preference that the user can change. To change the Safari settings, tap Settings followed by Safari. The Block Pop-ups setting appears in the Security section.
