Question

I have a social network that allows people to ask questions and write blogs. For some reason on the ipad, you can write a title, and choose a category, but for some reason it will not let you write in the text area where one would compose their blog or ask their question. Is there some sort of special text area that ipad wants supplied?

Here is my simple text area code:

<textarea name="blogBody" cols="0" rows="0"><?php echo stripslashes($_POST['blogBody']); ?></textarea> 

Answer 1

i gather setting the cols & rows to 0 disables it on ipad safari. you might want to set cols & rows first, then put the name attribute (and class and any other attributes that result in css being able to select it to style it) afterwards.

<textarea cols="40" rows="5" name="blogBody">...</textarea>
