In iPhone Radio and checkbox options work only on double click - html

I am using Label and image divs with radio inputs. Everything is working good except when I run that on Iphone radios and checkboxes work on double click only.

I'm not exactly sure what is causing it, but it may help you to use Modernizr. It allows you to detect whether a user is using a device that uses touch events or click events, and which can help with interactive responses on different devices.
I have have also found that sometimes If I have a hover I will have to double click because mobile doesn't use hover, Modernizr helps in cases like that as well.

hide android keyboard on focus

I have a problem with my webapp.
Is there a way to hide the android keyboard on text input focus without losing the focus on the input?
Focus on page load works fine, because the field is focused and no keyboard is shown. I want the same behavior after re-focus on input.
Thank You
Maybe you should give keyboard customizing apps a try...might work. I personally prefer Redraw Keyboard, but there are many out there to choose from.

<input type=“search”> no longer shows cancel button (x) under firefox

I found that <input type=“search”> only works in Chrome and IE, but not in Firefox.
How can I make <input type=“search”> show the cancel button (x) in Firefox?
Webkit derived browsers put in an x to clear a value. Firefox does not. However firefox supports this feature, but it does nothing about it and you need to style it your self to show the X button in firefox.
Following link will help you to achieve the goal: HTML Textbox with a clear button in Pure CSS and without JavaScript
While the accepted answer is working as it can be seen in the codepen,
I feel the need to explain how this is working and what to be aware of.
As it took me quite some time to get it working as expected.
For anybody who was wondering how the clear is working type="reset" is causing this. Read more about it here
elements of type reset are rendered as buttons, with a default click event handler that resets all of the inputs in the form to their initial values.
This brings us to the second point of what to be aware of.
As the docs explains, the input or button of type reset will only work within a form. However, this creates a problem when having multiple inputs in a form, as all of them will be reset.
Another cavity would be the fact, that while fixing the clear button on firefox this will now produce multiple clear buttons in all the other browsers that do have support for it.
A little feature is that the css content also accepts a url(). This means that for instance custom svg's can be used as a clear icon.

checkbox button requires multiple clicks

Anyone with firefox browser can you open up this fiddle.
The issue I have is with this checkbox button I have, it requires multiple clicks to turn it off and my question is how can I stop this from happening? I know its the posistion:relative which is causing this but I need this so that every time I click on a button, it does not go to the top of the page. I just want the button to turn on and off in one click, not multiple clicks
(See comments below the question - now I know what happens to you)
Ahhh - you cannot solve this without Javascript: quick (double?) click on the TEXT ITSELF is interpreted as "select text" by the browser, and it does not send the event to the checkbox when that happens. With Javascript you can force "un-select" of the text on click.
Click "slowly" - avoiding double click text selection - and it will work (just to show the cause of the problem, no solution without Javascript or proprietary CSS).
Try adding this: Prevent text selection after double click
Maybe you should use a full Javascript Checkbox-Button solution instead of trying to accomplish it with just CSS.

What technology is used to display these elegant clickable options?

I am creating a small form where the user
Enters some text in an input box
Chooses from a bunch of options
regarding the actions that need to
be taken with the data
Clicks a submit button
Disconnect does something similar in a better way:
you can click on any of the five divisions here. This is wonderful because it makes it easier for users to perform the same task and simplifies choose and click to click.
What technology is used to display such a menu?
A nice way of doing this is - which doesn't need javascript - is to use radio buttons, but make them invisible. The clickable text and icon go inside of the label for each radio button, so you can click the label or icon to select the radio button.
This ensures a few important things:
Only one item can be selected
The selection is passed back with the form
The browser's native form handling still works
Accessibility options still work
You do have to be careful to make the labels obviously clickable, since you lose the visual cue of having the radio buttons visible.
IE6 & 7 also require a hack - they have a weird behaviour that a display:none or visibility:hidden radio button or checkbox cannot be selected by clicking its label.
Here's an example: http://www.spookandpuff.com/examples/clickableToggles.html
(I haven't included the icons - you can easily add these by setting them as the background in CSS for each item (don't use <img> tags).
Edit Oh man - I just read the question properly! Sorry, you want the behaviour to be 'choose' rather than 'choose and submit'... An easy way to do this is to add some javascript to the inputs to have them auto-submit the forms when they're selected. I've updated the example to show this.
Looks like JavaScript: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect.me

PyGTK: Packing widgets before tabs in a gtk.Notebook

Basically, what I want to do is put some buttons before the tabs in a gtk.Notebook. I tried making my own notebook type widget and it worked well, but it would have required lots more work to make it as flexible as I would like, also it wasn't as efficient.
Here is a mock-up of what I'm trying to achieve: http://imagebin.ca/view/84SC0d.html
Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks.
Ben.
You might be interested to know that this functionality has been added in GTK 2.20, see "Changes in GtkNotebook" in the following announcement: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2010-March/msg00132.html
It's a hack, but you can put your widgets on a separate tab, and then prevent the tab from being clicked by registering the following switch-page event for the notebook:
def onTabsSwitchPage(self, notebook, page_notUsableInPython, pageNumber):
# Don't allow to switch to the dummy tab containing widgets
if pageNumber == <put correct tab number here>:
notebook.stop_emission("switch-page")
Note that this doesn't look good with all GTK themes, but it works...
I don't think there's any way to do it without making your own notebook widget. There are a couple of hacks. One was posted by AndiDog. Another is to hide the tabs altogether (notebook.set_show_tabs(False)) and make a toolbar with buttons above the widget, with your buttons on the left, plus one button for each tab in the notebook that switches to that page.
Instead of making your own notebook-type widget from scratch, you could inherit from gtk.Notebook, overriding some of the methods like expose_event, size_request, and size_allocate, in order to deal with two types of container children: pages and buttons. I don't know how to do this in PyGTK though, only in C.
You might also consider whether the buttons in the tab space are really what you want. What if the user resizes your notebook small enough that some of the tabs disappear? Where do the previous tab/next tab arrows go? What happens to the buttons?
