Orbeon forms on an Ipad

JeffL
Been playing with the ipad simulator (cannot get the ipad in Australia yet).

Orbeon forms does not work too badly but the rich text editor (yui) does not allow direct editing.

Any thoughts...

Regards

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Let me see if I can get an iPad as a business expense to double check
that... :). More seriously, this is because the YUI RTE is not
supported on the Mobile Safari. From the YUI site:

The YUI Rich Text Editor does not currently support the iPhone or the
Nokia N95. Due to the interaction model (specifically, the inability
to make a selection), the Editor will not function as expected. In our
tests, it appears that the Apple and Nokia Webkit implementations
don't event recognize the Editor as an editing field — meaning that
these browsers are, at present, deliberately not supporting the use of
an iframe in design mode.

One way around this is to render to keep a simple text area when we
detect the browser to be Mobile Safari. An issue with that is that if
user A edits on the iPad (text area) some text typed by user B on,
say, Chrome (RTE), then A might see some HTML tags in the text area,
and might not be sure what to do with those. At this point, I am
really not sure what the best way to handle this is.
