any luck with getting access to the keyboard through uiwebview? I've been racking my brain trying to find a way. the only thing I could think of was to (for my specific example), create a stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString message, where the javascript looks for a specific "id" on the page and then calls .focus() on it... I was hoping it would work, but no dice. it seems although it gains focus, that isn't enough to tell the iphone to pull up the keyboard :S

Yes, I will definitely suggest adding this in to the trunk - not sure what
problems you're running into as I didn't see those. If you can pastebin
your code somewhere I will try to find some time to look at it in the next
couple days.

I tried implementing this again in the latest build ... but with no success. All other GAP functions do not react anymore ...

Maybe you need to explain this to Sintaxi, so he can build it in in the next master.

From everything I've read I assumed that the ID is available to all iphones
and ipod touches. I can't find a case in my limited searching where the
first gen iphones done return a unique Identifier, but I don't have one
myself.

Could this be linked to the fact i'm using a 1st generation iPhone ? Is that not supported on them ?

Hmm, that all looks solid. Here's a silly question - you've compiled and re-run the phonegap app in xcode, correct? also, are you using your physical iphone or the simulator?

Here's the JS part

*************
var Device = {

available: false,
model: "",
version: "",
isIPhone: null,
isIPod: null,

init: function(model, version) {
try {
Device.available = __gap;
Device.model = __gap_device_model;
Device.version = __gap_device_version;
Device.gapVersion = __gap_version;
Device.uniqueIdentifier = __gap_device_uniqueid;
} catch(e) {
alert("GAP is not supported!")
}
},

*************

and in my page i have :

*************
window.onload = function()
{
Device.init();
$('infomodel').innerHTML = Device.model;
$('infoversion').innerHTML = Device.version;
$('infouniqueid').innerHTML = Device.uniqueIdentifier;

Device.Location.callback = updateLocationCallback;
Device.Image.callback = 'image.lasso?data=';
}
....

Hmm, when and where are you getting undefined? i.e. what's the context? Are you doing something like alert(Device.uniqueIdentifier) ?

If you can pastie your javascript code, maybe I can weed out the issue.
