Comment 1 for bug 1296462

Adnane Belmadiaf suggested you might be able to achieve this by setting the keyboard focus to an input element. I have been unable to get that to work. The attached file has a text input with autofocus. In the HTML5 container, the text input does not get focus automatically. In the browser, the input does get focus, but the OSK is not triggered. The same behavior has been seen setting the focus programatically, rather than with the autofocus attribute.

This is seen on an emulator running r226.
