    $('#passportNumber').css('display', 'none');

    $('#passportNumber').css('display', 'block'); 
    $('#passportNumber').attr("disabled", false);
}

loadForm($('#AccountDetailsForm')[0]);
});

i can put up more code if needed but im sure the rest of the code is ok but if anyone wants to look at any other pieces of code just ask

what does this error mean and can anyone see what is going wrong?

Answer 1

This is a bug with Safari and its handling of inputs with type="tel". I wouldn't worry about it.

I was having the same problem and then I found this: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/2341
