They had this feature in for OS 1 but removed it at OS 2+ for some reason. It is not enabled for OS3 yet, but many people including myself would love to have this feature. Apple .... hello... Bueller ... Bueller ...
There is another solution, to have a javascript number picker (go to www.vw.com on your iphone and look at the dealer locator). This is cool if you have only one field, but if it's a zip code field in a form with many fields, this creates a multitude of usability issues including but not limited to: 1. every text field will automatically popup the keyboard. you can close it with javascript by assigning the field to be disabled/ readonly etc, but they keyboard is too quick and pops up and then down again. not good. also, if you want the 'previous next' buttons to work, the field must be enabled to begin with. this is key because if you make them defaulted to disabled/readonly, those buttons will SKIP the field - as expected. 2. you can make your custom input a DIV with an onclick func instead, which solves the keyboard popup problem, but you cannot assign a tabindex to anything but a text or text area input (despite that you are supposed to be able to add it to an A HREF, DIV, etc). this is problematic due to the 'next previous' buttons that show with the keyboard. not being able to assign a tabindex will make those buttons jump past your custom field. this is a sub-standard experience and for me a deal-breaker, I had to just use the normal keyboard on a site due to this. Anyone else solve this in another way and have a working example to share? cheers, Brent --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iPhoneWebDev" group.
