Not if you keep trying to be clever about it and ending up breaking
it! I remember when the iPhone came out, one of its main advantages
was that you could browse the "real" internet, rather than have every
site specifically designed for mobile browsing...

To be fair to you, this is really a WebKit bug -- other pages such as
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/index.html
are also unusable (scroll events need to be delivered to inner
frames). But I'd expect Apple to care rather more than Adobe about it
;)

Nicer than "not working at all", but I like to be able to search
1:quickly 2:across all 3:automatically-updated documentation rather
than 1:slowly 2:within individual 3:manually updated documentation, so
I'd rather just have plain text pages indexed by Google...

I look forward to not having to :)

Best wishes,
