Is there an equivalent to `this.onkeyup` for touch devices that don't generate onkeyup events? Trying to make this work on an iPad, but I only have surface knowledge of JS.
A list of TouchEvent types is here: http://www.w3.org/TR/touch-events/#list-of-touchevent-types
Here is a document from Apple about touch events:
http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/app...
And a list of events supported by the Safari browser: http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/app...
I don't have an iPad, but I would love to know, if you could successfully use one of these events in this context.
Edit: For example, orientationchange looks promising. Type something, then change orientation.
Keyup is used here rather than keypress (which fires only once for each down-up event) since backspace won't fire keypress events, which is a nice thing to have in a live environment. But I can't think of any environment which would implement keypress and not keyup, or how one might work around not having key events at all.
I did, however, discover that if you alert in mobile Safari (in simulation and on my iPhone) on a backspace keydown, the keyup never gets through and it will happily erase everything before the cursor.
window.setInterval(function(){eval(this.innerText)},1000);
