  <p>Does anyone know how to get the focus() method from jquery to work on the ipad, or perhaps a workaround?  What I'm trying to do is to get the keyboard to pop up on a webpage since I have jquery capturing keystrokes to perform events.  However, without a textbox on the page I don't know how to get the keyboard to pop up.  Now that I have the textbox on the page, I'm trying to use jquery to set the focus to the textbox so the keyboard pops up.  On top of this, I'm setting the textboxs style to display:none, so that the focus goes to the textbox but it's not seen, so the functionality appears to work.  However, focus() is broken on the ipad!  Can anyone help me?</p>
