I tend to agree with Jordan and Remi. If you are going to all the trouble to
make a custom keyboard, do not waste your time trying to shoehorn it into a
standard input field. Roll your own from scratch. You may need to do things
like display a cursor, etc.
To that end, and since I mentioned it in another thread, here is an example.
The data entry fields are completely fabricated, as is the cursor and keyboard.

For your entertainment, you might look at
http://wisen.us/pricecalc
which is a little toy that I did a while back, when I first waded through all
these issues.
It is a pure HTML/CSS/JavaScript implementation that you can look at in your
browser.
Enjoy,
Brian

It seems to me that you would just not use a text-field and detect a touch on
an
element that looks like a text field. After each key, on your custom keyboard,
is entered you add or subtract that character to your html element depending on
if they delete or add characters.

Agree !
Only way not to have the native keyboard is not using input as a touch element,
but as an hidden container.
