Greetings;  hope this makes sense:

I've got this page:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/esperanto/eo_en.html:
which handles onkeydown events.  On a friends iphone and opera,
the qwerty kbd app isn't being evoked by any entry field
and apparently couldn't be started up by the user,
and so the user can't generate any keyboard events.

Therefore, I'd like to detect whether the user
is able to generate kbd events, and if not then offer
a different user-interface using text-entry fields.

Is there a way to detect if the user can generate kbd events ?

Peter
