Hello, first post.  I would like to disable the native keyboard and have my own ui for input.  Any ideas on doing this?  

Thanks, 
D

Hello!

What do you mean? If you're talking in a browser, I don't think JavaScript has that capability. Or is this an app using a framework like phonegap?

Hey, I am talking about a web app.  The native keyboard is clumsy in my app.  I have a view with a couple of input boxes. I want to make the remainder of the view a numeric keypad, a tab button, and an enter button.  I want to streamline the app for the fastest possible data entry.

As far as I am aware that isn't possible.

I found a solution for disabling the keyboard. Works on my Moto Razr. Set the input to readonly="true". Reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/317295/dont-show-iphone-keyboard-for-a-particular-textbox-in-web-page.
Now I need to figure out the best way to build my own input ui.  I have figured out the basics of angular, but don't know how/when to use a service, directive, etc.

Thanks,
D
