FYI... forum reply not possible on iPad

Due to the WYSIWYG editor, it's not possible to use an iPad to reply to any forum content. The pages load fine and reading on the iPad works well, but the reply window with all its buttons and wysiwyg items won't allow input.

    This topic has been closed for replies.

    I know this sort of defeats the purpose of an iPad but there is a Keyboard availble for iPad Its not a full sized keyboard its small and compact. I forget whether it plugs in or runs off of Bluetooth.

    That's somewhat irrelevant.

    The onscreen keyboard won't even activate for the forum replies. Which means you can't type... with an external keyboard or without.

    I would have though once the external keyboard was pluged in it would have overrode the internal touch pad.

    Is it possible to switch from HTML mode to text only? I've also read on a newsgroup that the iPad is not setup to use Javs as well as Flash.

    If this forum is Java Based (not Javascript) that might be a reason.
