Select boxes don't work on the iPad.

Does the iPad do the single response select boxes OK?

I don't personally like seeing select boxes used in surveys. Much prefer to stick to radio (single-response) and checkboxes (multi-response).

Worked for me on the iPhone...

Edit: I could get it to work on the iPhone by using the crazy two finger click/slide gesture I use for select boxes.

Could you describe that? I was unable to get it to work on the iPod touch.

On reflection though, I guess I'm running an old version of the OS on that one.

Literally click and hold with one finger and then with another perform an awkward scrolling type movement - usually seems to work but it's hardly elegant!

iPad having difficulty rendering HTML that's been out for sometime? It doesn't seem like it would be hard to solve.

Actually, the select box options are transformed into a list of divs with some javascript to make it look like a select and then the original select box is hidden.
