iOS input field

[Ralph DiMola]

Chipp,

My mobile resizer library is also hanging tough. Can't wait to see what
Monte has done though.

Heads up....On iOS I found that strange things can happen in 5.5.3 when you
are in the inputReturnKey handler. Mobilepick stops working(It's there but
not visible) and you can have more than one answer box displayed at the same
time. Have not verified this in 6.0 yet. Things don't seem to settle down
until this message makes it to the engine.

Yes and thanks. The challenge is making all this work for all platforms and
screensizes with one codebase WHILE taking advantage of Retina. So far, my
mobile resizer library is performing well for this.
