Why does CodeMirror not work on Ipad?

Question

Greetings,

http://marijn.haverbeke.nl/codemirror/jstest.html works on Safari on PC, but not on an Ipad. Which is a shame, since I wanted to use it for an app. My question is not only why does it not work, but how should I go about analyzing things that break on Ipad Safari ?

CodeMirror2 works mostly fine on an iPad;

You can add text, remove text and move the cursor around. You can however not hilite words and cut / copy / paste (as of today 2012-06-27).
