iPhone/iPad Safari issues

I've got my web app (NT8.24, C9) up and running on my host now in alpha mode. When I connect with my iPad, I get the following browser errors:

1) The red Javascript error appears at the top of the page when loading a more complex page. I presume this is because a mobile device is slower to process than a laptop. After a second or two, it goes away.
2) I have a dropdown menu in my pageheadertag. When you click on a menu button and select an item, the respective page loads, but the dropdown menu persists. The only way to get rid of it is to click on some button on the page being displayed.
3) When the virtual keyboard comes up to enter something in an entry field and you click on the Go button of the keyboard display, it doesn't complete the field, but instead completes the page (ie acts as if the Save button was entered). This happens even on a Wizard form where you aren't on the final tab.
4) I have implemented some browses with a Scroll:overflow attribute to display an extended list of items that can be scrolled rather than using Nav buttons (ie next, last, etc). The scroll bar does not display so only the initial grouping shows and there's no way to navigate.

Since these errors only seem to be occurring on the mobile devices, in other words not on Safari on a Mac, I'm wondering what my options are. My app currently has the setting: Support Mobile Browsers turned off so that I don't have to deal with configuring all the mobile theme stuff right now.

Hi Mark,

1) - This test can be turned off on the Performance Tab in Web Server. You can turn it off once you are confident your JavaScript is correct. (ie as long as the error goes away, it's safe to turn it off)

2) See if you get the same effect with a simple example - like example 3.

3) It's currently possible to turn off the "Save form on Enter" behaviour on the "Layout / Save" tab on the form. However this would turn it off for all users. I'll add an expression there so you can make this option conditional (for example turning it off for touch devices but leaving it on for mouse devices.)

4) I'd need an example to play with.

Cheers

I'm backed up, but will get to these issues soon and get you an example.
