Having Trouble working on Forms (Text Field and Text Area) on iBooks

Hi Guys,

I doing epub for ibooks. I notice that the Text Fields and Text Area are not working anymore. The keyboard is not showing up when the text fields and text area are tapped. It is working on iBooks 1.2 but in newer version it is not working anymore. I'm searching all over the net but no answer found.

Here's the code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<title>Untitled Document</title>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Please help me.

Thank you so much

iBook, iOS 5, iOS 4 up to newer version

Hello! Your solution is pretty good and it works very well on iBooks 3.2 for iPad. In contrast, it doesn't work on Maverick.

How to solve this problem? Please share here if you have a good solution.

Hi,

Input and text area are already disabled when we bundle in ePub run on iPad, So we can enable text area and input using script, like

$('selector').removeAttr('disabled');
