BMC lists Safari 3.2.3 on Macintosh OS X 10.5 in the browser compatibility matrix for 7.6.03. Is there some sort of list of differences between Mobile Safari and Safari 3.2.3?
Also the matrix lists "Adobe Flash Player 10.1.82.72 or higher is required" (which of course the iPad does not have). I think that is only used for Flashboards (but that could also be part of the problem).

That would probably work. However, another lister has pointed out (and I have confirmed) that we have bigger problems on touch devices... drop-down character menus don't work either. The menu will drop down but you can't select a menu item by tapping it. The only workaround I have found for this is to press on the menu item until the "Copy" contextual menu appears and copy the menu item. Then you can paste it into the field. I expect my users would not find this to be acceptable. Looks like the iPad really isn't compatible with Mid-tier. Hope this is helpful.
