Works great on teh ipad, not the iphone I might be wrong, but I think Ash was actually asking why the hell a date field had that type attribute set to number. That's just messed up!! -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/ Cause it triggers the iphone to pop up a non-alpha keyboard which makes entering a data field easier (you don't have to explicitly switch to it with a keypress). The default kyb is an all-alpha one.
