Search Input Field and Keybord

[abritez]

I've tried using <input type="search" /> with no luck. I also know
that i could get around the visual aspect of the input field via CSS
& Javascript, however how do i get the Keybord to have a "SEARCH"
button on the bottom right instead of it saying "RETURN"

The following are supported in mobile safari, and therefore PhoneGap since iPhone OS 3.1

<!-- display a standard keyboard -->
<p>Text: <input type="text" /> </p>
<!-- display a telephone keypad -->
<p>Telephone: <input type="tel" />  </p>
<!-- display a URL keyboard -->
<p>URL: <input type="url" />  </p>
<!-- display an email keyboard -->
<p>Email: <input type="email" />  </p>
<!-- display a numeric keyboard -->
<p>Zip Code: <input type="text" pattern="[0-9]*" />  </p>

Search is not supported as an input type, and would require considerable native work to make happen in PhoneGap.

<form action="/">
<input type="search" style="-webkit-appearance:searchfield;">
</form>

Will produce a keyboard that says "search" instead of return.

I haven't tried this in PhoneGap, but I have just verified it in
MobileSafari, so I assume it would work in PhoneGap.

I have verified that type="search" works as Harrison states in
phonegap iPhone apps.
The only gotcha is that the search field must be inside a form tag.
All other types work by placing the input field anywhere.
