Quick question - if a textfield in a webform, does not automatically has the focus set by the form, ie you got to press the field before the keyboard pops up - am I correct to assume that field cannot be edited then?

In other words - I cannot set a text for a textField by injecting javascript into it, unless it gets a focus upon loading of the website right?

NOTE: I am not talking about set texts or placeholders here:-)

Cheers

Yes you can! You can use Javascript to set the value:

[theWebView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.getElementById('textFieldID').value = 'MyText'"]

Here's an article which shows you how to set and get the values of textfields with Javascript.

Hope this helped!
