    Hello,

    Is there a way to make the textfield editable in web browser? Right now I’ve designed it for iPad and the textfield works perfectly fine in the iPad. But, If I open the application in a web browser (on a PC), the textfield is not editable. What should I change in the settings to make it editable in a (non-touchscreen) PC?

    What desktop browser are you using?
    Are you trying to create a fully portable mobile web/desktop webapp?

    I just ran a quick test and can type into an input-field on webapp rendered on both the Chrome browser and Firefox 3.6.

    Note: MobiOne generates web code that is highly optimized to run well on iOS mobile safari to provide a near-native look and feel. Thus it makes use of the browser’s advanced webkit rendering engine features. I suspect there may be degraded performance on browsers that are not descendent from the webkit core such as IE and Firefox.

    I tried it in both Safari and Chrome. But, the textfield is not editable in either. However, it is editable in iPad’s Safari, when i “touch” the text field.

    Interesting! Do you have an example design file that exhibits this behavior that you can share with me? I would like to dig in deeper as my simpleton text-field on a form example worked on 1st try.

    I cannot attach the actual file but, I have created a similar file and attached it here. Even this has non-editable textField.

    Thanks for the example. I isolated the problem to the input-field’s parent being a panel. I’ve opened a bug for further investigation.

    Q: I’m curious are you using the mobile webapp on desktop browser for a specific purpose? For example do you have delivery a mobile webapp to a desktop environment?

    No. Its not designed for a desktop. Just wanted a few users without access to iPad to still use this application (for demo purpose)
