Hi all,

I'm working on a crossword client using the HTML5 SDK.  Obviously, 
being able to enter letters is important, so the on-screen keyboard 
should be visible whenever the user is working on a puzzle.  But I 
can't figure out how to trigger it to show up.  Is there some 
Javascript to call or something in Cordova?

On Google+, Adnane Belmadiaf suggested making a text input and setting 
the focus on that.  In testing with the browser in an emulator, this 
didn't work; the input would have focus, but the OSK would not appear.

For extra credit,
- Do I have to do anything to prevent the OSK when there's a physical 
keyboard?
- Can I turn on caps lock for the OSK?

Thanks,
Robert
