can you scale it to my browser window size and not assume I have a large enough screen to display the whole world?

Hi xed_over

Thanks for the feedback. While I did try to code some responsiveness, it could certainly use some work. The results might not be so great on all screen sizes. In order to determine how to improve it or fix any bugs, would you mind sharing what platform or at least the screen size that you're using?

Does this help?

Hi YeGo,

Hi YeGo,

iPhone 4S, "vertical" view, Safari:

xed_over and EdLee,

Thanks for the pictures and feedback. Sorry for the long delay in replying.

Check out this test version with a changed layout behavior:
http://yewang.github.io/besogo/testing.html

I tweaked the layout code a bit to hopefully reduce this issue. Basically, the editor has both a landscape or portrait mode, which is selected automatically based on window size. However, the issue with the previous version was that if the width wasn't 400 pixels larger than height, then portrait mode would be selected.

Hi YeGO,

I'm testing the latest version on an iPhone 4S.
Maybe I'm confused -- but when I try to place a stone,
it doesn't work -- it shows a translucent stone,
but it doesn't stay. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks. Here's a screenshot of the translucent stone at Q16 --
which doesn't "stay":

Hi YeGo,

Is there an option to choose the coordinate system ?
Example: the [ A1...T19 ] system:Never mind; I found out the coordinate button cycles.

Thanks for the report. However, I don't have an iPhone, and the issue does not seem to appear on my smartphone.

The translucent stone is actually the hover effect that appears when moving a mouse cursor over the board. Clicking/tapping on a point should place a stone on the board. However, I've noticed that sometimes attempting to click via a smartphone touchscreen might not register properly as a click but instead as a cursor hover. Maybe that's what is going on?

Did the website ever work properly on your phone? Are you able to play moves in a different browser on your phone or other device?

Hi YeGO, I'm not sure I was ever able to register a move on the iPhone.
I just tried another browser on the iPhone; same problem.
I haven't tried it on another mobile device.

Hmm... that's an interesting bug. I haven't been able to reproduce it across several desktops, laptops, tablets, and Android smartphones. I still have to try testing on an iPhone.

It's quite strange since the SVG rendering is clearing working, clicking on the buttons is working (since you were able to rotate through coordinate schemes), and the hover listener is working (since the translucent hover effect appears). However, the simple click isn't registering appropriately.

Do you happen to know which specific versions of the mobile browsers you are using?

Does anyone else on this forum have an iPhone 4S and can confirm?

Seems like this is an iPhone specific issue, since the iPhone raises "touch" events rather than "click" events.

Looks like there is a fairly simple fix:

I'll make the changes to the code later.

Hi YeGo,

Thanks!

Just made some minor changes. Hopefully that fixes the issue for iOS devices.

Hi YeGo, the stone still doesn't register on an iPhone 4S, iOS 7.x

Double tap does place stones for me, with Chrome as well as with Safari, on an iPhone 4s with iOS 9.3.1. I guess it may be difficult with fingers, I used a stylus.

Hi Tom,

Even double click doesn't register a stone for me, on iOS 7.x ...
Strange...

Hi YeGo, my Safari version seems to be "9537.53"

OK, I think I understand what might be going on. iPhone (and likely iOS in general) does something non-standard in how it raises events based on taps. Basically, since I have a hover effect and click effect for the board, iOS raises triggers the hover event, but then skips the click because the hover event changed the page content.

See:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios ... finger.jpg

So, I'll need to figure out another work-around. I could just detect the platform and change the behavior specifically for iOS, but I'd like to avoid too much platform dependent hacks just to accommodate the iPhone quirks. I have to think about this further.

Quite weird to hear that there is inconsistent behavior between two different iPhone 4S (granted that they are using different OS versions).

Thanks for all of your help, EdLee and Bonobo!

By the way, check out this example:
https://jsfiddle.net/u4Lerebm/

On desktops, Androids, etc. (non-iOS), all three of the black buttons will trigger a pop-up that says clicked, and the last button turns the background red when hovered over. However, on iOS, I think the first button won't work, the second button will work, and the third button may or may not work.

1st didn't work
2nd worked: “Clicked” modal dialog
3rd worked: “Clicked” modal dialog, the background turned red
