I am creating a learning Ipad app for the Japanese by using the objective-c.
The app downloads and views learning contents that has been made in HTML every time learning.
In English Learning contents of the application, There are input boxes to enter the English.
So, I want to control the ios keyboard to force the alphanumeric half size at the time of using the input box of html (or, to display the English keyboard by default),But I couldn't.
I tried using the type attribute specification of the input tag of html, but none could not be used.
I would like you to tell me if there is any good way.
You can't force-change the keyboard on the user, Apple doesn't allow that. If your UITextField requires a specific type of the standard keyboard, you can select that in Interface Builder or from code. If the user has selected a custom keyboard for themselves, you can't force them to change it to the one you want.

I am running a angular2 app on a mobile device. I have a textarea and once focused the mobile device shows the keyboard. I would like to set the keyboard to the twitter keyboard type. Is this possible using html5 or in another way?
You CAN NOT control which keyboard the client uses. At least not with pure html5/css/javascript. This depends on the system.
You can only use these properties to control (indirectly) how the keyboard appears:
HTML type Attribute
HTML pattern Attribute
I am making a mobile app with adobe air 3.9 and in the registration form, I wish to make email text-field have a keyboard or soft-keyboard type as email (i.e. having a button for ".com" and "#" in the soft-keyboard)and age to have numbers only.
I see some helps around but none gets me a clear idea.
Can anyone help me with a quick tutorial or a code snippet.
Thanks

Use NativeText, look here for the great article:
http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2011/09/native-text-input-with-stagetext.html
here's a tutorial
Just be aware there are two SkinClasses for TextInput and TextArea, MobileSkin and StageSkin. StageSkin can control the softkeyboard, but has scaling issues. MobileSkin can't control the softkeyborad, but doesn't have scaling issues. Follow this bug and related issues for more info about that.
Long story short, I seem to always be running into unpredictable StageText functionality in Adobe AIR applications. I want to avoid triggering the OS native input fields and emulate that functionality in a Feathers/Actionscript component directly.
I've incorporated an on-screen keyboard purely in Feathers and implemented a Button subclass that acts like a basic text input. When the user clicks the button, the on-screen keyboard is displayed and hardware keyboard KEYUP's are intercepted and used to dynamically update the button label attribute.
That all works well enough, but of course I have no flashing cursor or text selectability in my current rudimentary widget. I can continue along my current path and manually implement the rest of what I need, but wanted to ask if anyone has seen or implemented a 'native acting' non-native text input widget in the Feathers/Starling/Actionscript tech stack? (Google seems to say no, but I'm hoping that's wrong. Surely I'm not the only one that thinks AIR's StageText is... troublesome... at best)
I changed my rudimentary widget from a Button subclass to a TextInput with editor factory returning a custom flash.text.TextField that has it's SoftKeyboardEvent.SOFT_KEYBOARD_ACTIVATING being nixed via preventDefault().
I now have most of what I wanted from my basic text input functionality in that I now have a text widget I can click in and select text and have all the simple cursor functionality I was missing. This still prevents the flaky native-softkeyboard interaction so I think this might suffice.
Conflicts between JAWS table navigation short keys and custom implemented navigation keys(i.e. arrow keys)
I am trying to make an HTML table accessible using keyboard as well as readable using JAWS Screen reader.
To make it keyboard accessible i am doing following things:
- Added keypress events on table cells for arrow keys (left, right, top, bottom)
To make it JAWS readable i am doing following things:
- Added caption,summary to table
- Added scope=col to table headers
- Added ARIA roles like Application, row, grid, gridcell
Keyboard navigation is working fine when the page is run without using JAWS.
JAWS also read the table fine provided JAWS shortcuts are used.
When it is run with JAWS custom implemented keyboard navigation does not work properly.
To move focus to different cell using custom implemented keyboard navigation (i.e. arrow keys), i have use INSERT + 3 key followed by an arrow key.
This will move focus to different cell but it will not change JAWS current cell focus. So when JAWS read, it will read the cell other than the actual focused cell.
Example page URL : http://test.cita.illinois.edu/aria/grid/grid1.php
The above page supports custom keyboard navigation(i.e. arrow keys). Try to read above page using JAWS.
Please help to make it keyboard accessible at the same time readable by JAWS.
Appreciate your help!
Thanks a lot for your quick reply! That was very good information you provided.
However I have few more queries regarding this. It would be great if you could help.
JAWS provides support for various cursors like Virtual PC Cursor, PC Cursor, JAWS Cursor.
As per my knowledge when we specify role="application", JAWS runs on PC Cursor and whatever functionality provided in website are usable using the provided keystrokes.
The functionality i want to achieve especially with HTML Table is, user should be able to navigate using arrow keys as well as JAWS should read the currently focused content.
So the doubt here is why JAWS does not readout currently focused content in in PC Cursor.(in html table it can be currently focused cell).
It would be helpful if you could explain, how the JAWS user ideally uses web sites using JAWS (specifically with information rendered in HTML Table).
I have a complex table having following features and would like it to be accessible by keyboard and readable by JAWS:
Table with expand/collapse icon. Clicking on Expand/Collapse icon or pressing +/- from keyboard the nested table should be visible to user.
Each row of table is having some action items and pressing a key or clicking on it should perform an action. (like each row shows unique product information and user can buy(action item) by pressing some key or clicking on a button. )
I tried using dojo grid and it provides to navigate using keyboard arrow keys and there is a JAWS shortcut to readout the currently focused cell i.e INSERT + UP Arrow.
Try adding role="application" to the table or a surrounding element.
There is no way I know of to do what you want. I'm a Jaws user and the table is fine as is. I would not use your site if your custom navigation keys overrode Jaws defaults. The issue with overriding the defaults is it eliminates the ability to review character by character. If I wanted to check the spelling of a word in the table cell I could read letter by letter with the arrow keys. Disabling this ability of jaws is unacceptable. The reason I do not believe it is possible to do what you want is because Jaws uses a virtual buffer with information obtained from the internet browser to format the page in a way easier to read with a screen reader. In my experience it's murky where the boundary between the browser and Jaws is. This means that you probably cannot capture jaws specific keystrokes before Jaws does. Using the insert+3 key followed by an arrow key will not work with jaws because the key is being passed to the browser. This means the table focus is changing in the browser but there is no way to force that change in the model of the page Jaws uses.
I am in the process of creating a simple WYSIWYG HTML editor to enable the users of my application to design simple HTML emails.
At the moment I have decided to use the web browser control with MSHTML to enable me to edit what is displayed. I have a tool bar which holds all of the relevant buttons, bold, underline, etc.
I need a way to check if the current block has any formatting so the correct state can be displayed on the buttons in the tool bar. I tried to add an event handler to the IHTMLDocument to fire when the mouse is moved or the arrow keys are pressed, however, this stopped the web browser from taking any input.
Is there a simpler way to achieve this goal?
There are several rich editors for free out of that tinyMCE is one of the better editor.
For list of editors see the link below.
