iOS Keyboard Type in webview on iPhone / iPod

[Craigy]

Hi - I am writing an external HTML file that is loaded into a webview in iOS.

There is a text box on the page which is for an email address.

I can't see a way of defining what keyboard the iphone / ipod pops up when this field is selected. I don't really want the normal keyboard - but rather the one which is email / url friendly.

Is there a way in webkit / css etc to let the device know which keyboard type to display?

Cheers
Craig
