text field not working in safari

I'm working on an online eBay profit forecasting calculator here

I can't seem to get the input fields to work in safari and mobile safari. They work fine in FF & Chrome. I click into them, but nothing shows when I type. I've been searching google but can't seem to find any clues. I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the css. Here's my css for the input fields:

input {     width: 155px;     padding-left: 5px;     height: 24px;     cursor: text;     font-size: 18px;     font-weight: bold;     border: none;     border-radius: 3px;     box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px black;     -moz-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px black;     -webkit-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px black;     background-color: #F8FBEF;  }

Your problem lies in calcstyle.css here:

* {      -webkit-user-select: none;     -khtml-user-select: none;     -moz-user-select: none;     -ms-user-select: none;     user-select: none; } 

I'm not entirely sure why user-select: none; would prevent you from typing into an input but removing this block fixes it for me.


EDIT

Here is a possible solution:

Select everything but your inputs...

*:not(input.field) {         -webkit-user-select: none;     -khtml-user-select: none;     -moz-user-select: none;     -ms-user-select: none;     user-select: none; }

This still seems to be a problem with Safari 9.0.3 and iOS 9.2. What finally fixed it for me was to set it to text:

input, textarea {   -webkit-user-select: text;   -khtml-user-select: text;   -moz-user-select: text;   -ms-user-select: text;   user-select: text; }
