text field not working in safari
Solution 1
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;
}
Solution 2
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;
}

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; }

Etienne678 about 10 yearsexcellent, this solved my problem with a search field in a sencha touch application where the field would not turn active in safari.

Sir Hackalot almost 9 yearsJust setting the input to
...-user-select: text
would be another alternative (to ensure the input works with any global css settings). -

Raymond Naseef almost 4 yearsThe solution is best for what I need: using this to stop dragging mouse to select items on the screen. Changing from "none" to "text" allows selecting items with the mouse.
