Menu
I'm creating a webapp for the iPhone, based in HTML/CSS/JS. I'm using forms to receive input and pass data to the script, but a problem I'm encountering is that the keyboard won't disappear. The user will enter the information, hit submit, and since it's JavaScript the page doesn't reload. The keyboard remains in place, which is a nuisance and adds another step for users (having to close it).
Is there any way to force the keyboard in Safari to go away? Essentially, I have a feeling this question is equivalent to asking how I can force an input box to lose focus or to blur. Looking online, I find plenty of examples to detect the blur event, but none to force this event to occur.

To hide it, slide your finger down from above the text-entry box and the keyboard will start to disappear. Carry on until only the text-entry box is left.
You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow , passing in the token of the window containing your focused view. This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases, you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.
Tap the back button on your Android. It's the left-pointing arrow button at the bottom of the screen, either at the bottom-left or bottom-right corner. The keyboard is now hidden.
Even more simply, you can call blur() on the currently focused element. $("#inputWithFocus").blur()
