iPhone Safari 'Action' Pop Up?posted by arn on Tuesday August 21, 2007 11:55 PM Forum user photobiker notes an interesting pop-up that appears in certain situations in the iPhone's Safari browser. Holding and pressing in the margin of a webpage (near the edge of the screen) brings up a small pop-up titled "Action".  Steps to bring it up: - Open Safari on the iPhone - Visit a page with some margins, like most pages have (the pictures were taken with http://news.yahoo.com and http://dpreview.com) - Tap-and-hold inside the margin, the screen is dimmed - Hold your finger perfectly still for 2 seconds - An "Action" popup menu appears As far as can be seen, it doesn't quite do anything. Note that this shouldn't be confused with pressing-and-holding on links in Safari which has long been known to bring up the target of the link -- but could simply be a bug related to this known feature.
