I can’t tell you how nice the custom keyboard on the iPhone is for sites that are using type=”number”, type=”email” and type=”url” on their forms. You can check out this article I found that explains all of the different keyboards the iPhone supports. I also found another good article that hits on a few more nice to knows in the mobile web space.
Of course, an EditBox control in Xpages doesn’t allow you to set the type attribute, at least as far as I can tell. So you can’t designate the input as type=”number” or type=”url” as the article recommends.
Bummer. Perhaps there’s a way to do it with a Theme.
Yeah, unfortunately in this case I wasn’t specifically talking about XPages! I will pass this on.
I recently brought this exact same thing up in the beta forums for 8.5.2 and was told that it would be looked at for future releases.
I persoanlly would love to see this added to xPages sooner rather then later for the exact same reaons you just want to see it.
