We´re using a (yui) canvas that represents the text in a textarea.
Works fine in a browser, but on the iphone and ipad the keyboard does not show up, probably because there is no textarea. Is there a way to trigger the iphone to show the keyboard and treat the canvas as an input field?
thanks,
<canvas style="border: 1px solid rgb(153, 153, 255); vertical-align: middle; cursor: text; padding: 0px;" width="31" height="23"></canvas>
<textarea id="f1" cols="80" rows="10"> </textarea>
Similar questions have gone over this, see here. It seems that it can’t be done.
You might as well try a few things though: It’s worth trying
.focus()to see if that does anything, or maybe having some of your code trigger a.focus()for a hidden text area.
