Re: Browser Compatibility List for Alpha Anywhere

It's strange than a xbasic script would work differently on any platform. The xbasic itself runs on the server, not on the device, so should take the same amount of time no matter what.

So the issue would be with the logistics of handling the callback.

On the Ipad, have you tried it with different browsers? You should be able to load firefox onto an ipad, no?

Gary from post 13. Maybe your iPad isue is bandwidth. The server may finish at the same speed but perhaps the ipad is on mobile or wifi while the others are on a hardwired machine. You can stick timers into your xbasic to get metrics.

You can install eSpell in your Alpha app to get spellcheck, or you can use ckeditor which has it built in. Spellcheck has been available in Safari and Firefox long before Alpha had html types for field properties, so I don't think it is that, but perhaps.

I just tested the "Dolphin Browser for Ipad". Spellcheck works flawlessly, and the xbasic script that I mentioned above takes 3 secs with mobile connection and 1 sec with wifi connection.

Seems that there has been a recent change in Safari that has disabled spellcheck amongst other issues. At any rate, I will recommend to use Dolphin Browser to my users.

Re: Browser Compatibility List for Alpha Anywhere

I am just curious. you mentioned safari on ipad.
when you are ready to enter data into any text field the keyboard pops up in iPad, iPhone etc.,
if you look at the keyboard on top there is little white band. if you swipe up on that band, it opens up word suggestion correction utility. at least it does with my mobile app.
may be that is what they did. and people are expecting the way that used to be.
can you check and see if it does with yours. I usually leave that open all the time.
I am not at all suggesting to go back to safari. as I said just curious.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding - I was snowed in New Jersey, flight cancelled, just got back.

To answer your question, when I type in a text area field on Ipad, yes keyboard does come up - however, I do not see a white band.

Re: Browser Compatibility List for Alpha Anywhere
