Re: Issue with on-screen keypad in IOS

Jonathan,
I believe the issue is moot now.
Above the keyboard on an iPhone and my mini iPad now running iOS9.01
and iOS8.4 (respectively) I can navigate to a forward / Back or Next
and previous button pair that fairly reliably move focus to the next /
prev form field.
When on the first / last field, the back / next button is disabled respectively.
On the keyboard there is a Go / Done button via which one can submit
the form or one can activate the submit button on the form.
The iPhone never had a dismiss keyboard feature AFAIK.
In earlier versions of iOS on the iPad I had not seen the prev / next
button above the keyboard. So I'd dismiss the keyboard, move to
activate the next form control and step through the form.
Thanks,
Sailesh
