Soft Keyboard Appearance and Configuration

The appearance of the soft keyboard happens for one reason and one reason only: the user touches a text input element or an element with the contenteditable="true" attribute (such as a div or canvas). There isn’t an API to make the keyboard appear, nor will it appear when you click in such an element with the mouse or a stylus or tab to it with a physical keyboard.

The configuration of the keyboard is also sensitive to the type of input control. We can see this through scenario 2 of the Input Touch keyboard text input sample, where html/ScopedViews.html contains a bunch of input controls (surrounding table markup omitted), which appear as shown in Figure 12-5:

<input type="url" name="url" id="url" size="50"/> <input type="email" name="email" id="email" size="50"/> <input type="password" name="password" id="password" size="50"/> <input type="text" name="text" id="text" size="50"/> <input type="number" name="number" id="number"/> <input type="search" name="search" id="search" size="50"/> <input type="tel" name="tel" id="tel" size="50"/>
