Issue with input field in swiper

[mattdemps]

Even if "releaseFormElements" is set to true the the input field has to be tapped twice to give focus. This is because the first tap is being registered as a "mousedown" event and not a "touchstart" event (Tested on iOS 6/7 & chrome with touch events enabled). I put in a check where you are checking for a touch event to see if we are releasing form elements and if the element is an input field. I have not checked to see if other form elements have this same issue, for my purposes I had to make this change. If you see a better way of implementing this check, feel free to make the change.

Merged, thanks

But i think along with input there should be also mentioned select and textarea?

I think it would be safe to assume textareas would function the same, I can't say if selects would incur a mousedown event, I would have to do some testing around that. Also, the srcElement may not work in some older browsers, most notably older Firefox browsers, you may need to use event.target in these cases. Might need to do a check for support in the IF or write a helper.

I've just run into this issue. Cannot type into inputs or textareas on ios7 when using a form in a swiper (even with releaseFormElements:true).

As johnwest80 says, it works if you click the input twice, so I have bodged around it with a little jquery:

$('input, textarea', '#requestForm').on('mousedown', function()
{
$(this).focus();
});
