examples/json-form-submit-1.html

I am unable to input data into the text fields in example json-form-submit-1.html on my iPhone. I am however able to enter data in a desktop web browser.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks!

Hmmm... I see that in iOS5 mobile Safari is trying to be smart and scroll up when the input gets focus, causing the focus to switch to the input below. This is a behavior that has been driving me nuts on an iPad Web app I'm working on as well. This weekend I'll see if I can work in a fix into the scroll mechanism to account for this. Mobile Webkit always tries to scroll any element with focus into main view, resulting in annoying screen scrolling like this. Apple considers this a feature. I consider it a pain. I'll need the upcoming weekend to work through this I'm afraid. Sorry for the inconvenience. Out of curiosity, are you targeting just iOS 5 or also iOS 4?

Actually, I just noticed that in landscape mode on my iPhone 4S it's less problematic to enter data in the inputs. Less space for mobile Safari to try to scroll.
