title: autofocus with keyboard in an ipad html5 site
body: <p>I'm working on an html5 app that will be used on iPads in a kiosk mode. The first thing users must do is sign in, so when the homepage loads, I'd like the onscreen keyboard to popup with the focus in the first field.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried all the variants I can think of, including</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>html5 &lt;input autofocus&gt; attribute</li>
  <li>calling document.getElementById("nameFirst").focus() in window onload</li>
  <li>same as the previous, but the onload calls a timer method to invoke the focus call later</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Has anyone figured out how to make the keyboard automatically appear?</p>
