See quick video to get a general idea of the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpW7Q53OHTM

There are multiple issues:
- the textfield focus changes during the input sequence, resulting in input errors
- the textfield re-validates / re-wrtites its content during the input sequence, such that it is impossible to continue entering characters (not shown in the video)
- the textfield is seen as "numerical" by the virtual keyboard, which switches to numerical mode by default
- the textfield and surrounding HTML make it difficult to see the text while using the virtual keyboard
