This may apply to other mobile operating environments than just Symbian... However, the issue is that when changing a text area field I'd like to update a count as I type. This is easy to accomplish in most browsers with something like this on the textarea tag:
onkeyup="document.getElementById('size').innerHTML=this.value.length;
However, in Symbian, the onkeyup event does not appear to fire normally (it seems like all input is buffered or something). Now I can replace this with:
onblur="document.getElementById('size').innerHTML=this.value.length;
...This works fine but of course only updates the DIV when focus is lost (which is better than nothing but not as nice as having it update as you type).
Has anyone encountered an issues like this specifically on Symbian? On any other mobile browser? Any ideas/solutions?
I've been hating Symbian since I've started using it -- there are so many weirdnesses like this in their APIs. I'll vote up anyone who gripes about Symbian. ;-)
