I haven't done it but you could do it very easily using javascript.
Just make a table layout with your keyboard the way you want it to look.
Then you have to figure out how IE will recognize the "tap" from the
touch screen.  It'll probably see it as a click so you could do
something where you add an onClick even that grabs the current value of
the formfield you're trying to fill in and add the new character to the
end and update the formfield to that new value.  Then, make a function
that handles backspaces by removing 1 character at a time. Should be
able to do it pretty quick and dirty since you're working in a
controlled environment (1 browser).

Subject: CF Web Based Keyboard

I am developing a kiosk system that will simply use IE and a cold fusion
server.
I will be using a touch screen and would like to eliminate the keyboard.

Has anyone developed a web based keyboard that when you press the keys,
they fill in a form.
I am assuming this can be done in flash, but can it also be done using
html and CFML.

Keys would only be alphanumeric. No special keys at all.
