Forms on Mobile skin

I have noticed that the WYSIWYG input box does not render correctly on mobile devices. I tried adding the config key to turn it off on the Contact Form, but it doesn't seem to change anything on mobile.

I noticed on the Demo site's contact page, when viewed on mobile it has a just a plain text input box - no wysiwyg. Is this something that Mobile Pro does? Or is this something the jQuery UI Mobile skin does? I'm using a custom mobile skin, and would like to my contact to form to work like the demo site's.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Tim,

Only IOS 5 devices can use a wysiwyg editor and that is a recent change. The mobile kit pro skin does not control whether a wysiwyg editor is shown, that is controlled by mojoPortal. In the next release of mojoPortal the WYSIWYG editors will be enabled for IOS5 devices (and the demo site currently is running the latest code so it does work there already with IOS 5).

For other devices as far as I know these editors will not work so we use a textarea. What happens in other devices if we show the editor it renders but you cannot click in it, it does not bring up the keyboard, so it is not usable.

Best,

Joe

And, I'm good with that. Currently in my site, the Contact Form seems to try to show the wysiwyg on my android device and shows some wysiwyg options as a list item. I'd like it to just show a textarea.

Is there something I need to do? I'm running version 2.3.6.7.

Thanks, Joe.

Hi Tim,

Technically that isn't a wysiwyg, that is a textarea with a toolbar that has a few buttons that make it easy to insert html elements.

You can disable it globally on all editors by setting AssumeMarkitupIsLoaded="true" on <portal:ScriptLoader in your layout.master

Hope that helps,

Joe
