I'm developing a WebWorks application for the Blackberry Playbook. This page in their documentation says
You can display a specific type of virtual keyboard, depending on the type of input that is required. In addition to the default keyboard, you can choose from a selection of keyboards, such as a keyboard designed for typing in an email or a keyboard designed for typing in a browser.
However, I can't find any documentation on how to actually DO that. I have some fields for entering an email address, so I'd like to give the user an email focused keyboard.
This is a WebWorks app, not Flash. Any ideas?
Those special keyboard layouts are determined the
type
attribute of HTML5<input>
tags. Here are some of the "special" types defined in the HTML5 specification:When selected, the respective keyboard layout will appear for you.
Blackberry has also their own document where they list all possible
<input>
types available under WebWorks.
