Anyone know how I can disable the keyboard so it doesnt pop up when click on a text input field in IOS/android?

Set the read only attribute to be true and the keyboard won’t have to appear.
After all as it’s said, “the best code is no code at all.”

Off topic: And then remember to sit in the corner watching your users try to tap on the input field, get frustrated, and finally throw their device against the wall. Hee hee hee!

For me, in brief testing on an ipad I find that the keyboard doesn’t show at all when selecting from a select box.
Can you provide us the select box HTML code that results in the keyboard showing, so that we may investigate a potential solution from there?
