It's working perfectly(not test on ICS yet). The other thing that it won't work is your page is too shot.

There's a repo here with more recent code, fwiw https://github.com/scottjehl/Hide-Address-Bar

I swear, I cannot get any version of this to work. window.scrollTo(0,0) ; window.scrollTo(0,1) ; hideAddressBar() above ; hideaddressbar.js ; anything. here's where I'm trying it: https://beta.buildingindustryservices.com/payapp . Cannot imagine what I'm doing wrong. I keep uploading code to my server and I test it in four browsers:

• Android (ICS) Browser (usually fails)
• Android Dolphin HD Browser (only scrolls 1 pixel or nothing)
• Android Chrome Beta Browser (doesn't scroll)
• Android FireFox Browser (not beta) (worse than doesn't scroll - extends page too far)
  I don't have an iPhone to test on.
  I'm open to suggestions. I've been tweaking code to do this for 2 months (no, it's not the only thing I've been coding).

Does this work in ios6? I had a simple window.scrollTo( 0, 1 ); that works in <= ios5 but not in ios6.

Thanks, Viktor

it doesn't work.

Apparently, not working properly anymore. It adds extra padding...

does this work?

It doesn't work in Android v4.x

This is outdated. Thanks for this snippet. Works on iOS 7- only.
