Android Soft keyboard: Next button not "tabbing" between HTML5 number inputs
android-softkeyboard, html
Solution
This does appear to be a limitation of Chrome/Android browser. An issue has been logged. I've tested the example (and tried some modifications) on two devices with multiple browsers.
Nexus 7 4.2.1 and Samsung S3 4.1.1
- Chrome: 'Next' button shows but does not function
- FF Mobile: Works as expected
I've also tested input types: `email`, `text`, `tel`. In Chrome they either show a non-functional 'Next' button or no 'Next' button. FF Mobile has a working 'Next' button for all cases.
Problem
I was testing out the HTML5 input type "number" with my Android phone. Whilst doing this I noticed that when the soft keyboard is active on a number input type the next button doesn't appear to tab between inputs. Now I assume it should tab between inputs but I can't find any definite wording that says this is the case. I am currently using Android 4.1.1 with the stock browser. I have also tried in Chrome with the same results. I have a sample page here : http://jsfiddle.net/axECg/ and here is the code for it: ``` <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="myForm"> Number 1<input type="number" id="numA" name="numA" /><br /> Number 2<input type="number" id="numB" name="numB" /> </form> </body> </html> ``` Am I doing something wrong? Or just expecting a bit too much in regards to HTML5 + Android at the moment? Thanks
