OK so in my excitement; don't want to say how long I've been researching this issue, I see I forgot to include a couple of key points: 1) I am working on a site built with WordPress and various plugins and the pages were exhibiting the iOS "Bug" 2) I happen to look at the Nivo demos on an iPhone an
