Description

I am running Safari on iOS 4.3.1

.select() event does not select on Tap/click input field.

The same code works on normal browser (Chrome v11.0.696.65, Safari v5.0.5, FF v4.0.1)

Example:

<script>

$('input').click(function() {

$(this).focus();

$(this).select();

});

</script>

<input type="text" name="amount" id="amount" value="" />

Can you send me an iPhone to test this?

What happens when you bind("tap", fn)?

This is still a bug!

FWIW this appears to be a "feature" of mobile Safari. The workaround is to manually specify the range ala:

setSelectionRange(0, 9999);
