Getting started with PHP ..
I am new to PHP. I have developed my own web site with a lot of javascript in simple HTML files. I want to do some extensions with PHP but I can't make a simple web page function. I am sure something simple is wrong. Help! Here is the test web page I made: hello.html <html>  <head>   <title>Hello World</title>  </head>  <body>   <?php echo 'Hello World!'; ?>  </body> </html> Pointing Safari at hello.html gives me a new tab with the correct title, but no "Hello World" in the page itself. Here is the output of php --version: WARNING: PHP is not recommended PHP is included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software. Future versions of macOS will not include PHP.

Video/audio pauses automatically in WKWebView after app returns from background
We are embedding TikTok Live streams inside our iOS app using WKWebView. The Live stream loads and plays normally at first. However, when the app goes to the background (for example, user presses the Home button or switches apps) and then returns to the foreground, the TikTok Live video and audio become paused and do not resume automatically. Expected behavior When the app returns from the background to the foreground, the video/audio should resume playback automatically Actual behavior Video/audio pauses after app resumes from background Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Universal Links not opening my app.
My app has been published by 2 months now I still I cant get Universal Links to work. I checked a lot of docs as well as videos about setting up universal links. Everyone with clear steps: Add the well-known json file to the server. Already validated by AASA web validator. Add the Associated domain on project capabilities, with the Web page root only. Eg: applinks:example:com. Install the app and trying clicking a link from notepad. Or instead make a long press to deploy contextual menu to see if my app is on the selectable options to open the link. My app is not been open in any of my attempts and the console always trying to use safari. I had a couple of screenshots of my testing. I really need help with this.

Allow Safari and WKWebView to repaint during resize.
As the title suggests, given today’s overpowered device performance, shouldn’t Safari and WKWebView allow repainting during window resizing? Currently, all WKWebView-based apps pause page rendering during resize. When a user double-clicks the drag region, the sequence goes: pause rendering → enlarge or shrink the window → leave a blank area → repaint the page. The whole process feels inelegant—especially on devices that support ProMotion.

Cookie Missing After App Upgrade During OAuth Consent Flow on iOS (Safari ITP?)
Scenario Overview: In our app, we open an in-app browser to complete a third-party consent flow. The sequence is: App → Website A (set cookie and redirect) → Google → Website A (check cookie) → App After upgrading the app, the first consent attempt fails because the cookie cannot be written, causing the check cookie step to fail. However, if we use the native Safari browser, this issue does not occur. Observed Behavior: Scenario Result Upgrade app → Consent ❌ Fail Upgrade app → Consent fail → Consent again immediately ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent fail → Upgrade again after 1–2h → Consent ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent fail → Upgrade again after 1d → Consent ❌ Fail Install a new app → Consent ✅ Pass Upgrade app → Consent, cancel flow → Consent again ✅ Pass Install new app → Wait for upgrade → Upgrade app → Consent ✅ Pass Install new app → Wait 1–2h → Upgrade app → Consent ✅ Pass Investigation: From Safari documentation, this seems related to Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), which restricts cross-site cookie behavior during first-party interactions. However, I haven’t found a clear mitigation strategy yet. Question: Has anyone encountered similar issues with Safari ITP after app upgrades? Are there recommended approaches to ensure cookies persist across this redirect flow?

Issue with Copy Functionality in WKWebView Using Mac Catalyst
Hello, I am developing a Mac application via Mac Catalyst and encountering an issue with WKWebView. Specifically, I'm loading a webpage (e.g., https://translate.google.com) in WKWebView, but when I press the copy button on the page, the content doesn't actually copy to the clipboard. I've attempted modifying the UserAgent without any success. Here is the relevant part of my code: override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() config.preferences = WKPreferences() config.defaultWebpagePreferences.preferredContentMode = .desktop let webView = WKWebView(frame: .zero, configuration: config) webView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(webView) webView.scrollView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = false webView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white webView.scrollView.backgroundColor = UIColor.white webView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor).isActive = true webView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true webView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true webView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor).isActive = true if let url = URL(string: "https://translate.google.com") { let req = URLRequest(url: url) webView.load(req) } }

Details of SFExtensionProfileKey?
Hi, I’m working with the SFExtensionProfileKey in my Safari Web Extension. As I understand it, this key is to get the UUID of the profile currently in use. However, it seems to be missing (no key in userInfo) when the default profile is active. Also, I haven’t found any API to get a profile’s human-readable name or list all available profiles. Could someone clarify: If the value of SFExtensionProfileKey is absent, can I safely assume the default profile is in use? Is there a supported way to get a profile’s display name? Does Safari expose an API for getting all profiles? Thanks in advance for your insights!

Is Picture in Picture supported for WebRTC / WebView video on iOS (outside app)?
Hello, I am implementing video calling on iOS and need to support Picture in Picture (PiP) behavior similar to FaceTime or WhatsApp. What works Audio continues correctly in background CallKit UI works as expected Video works correctly while the app is in the foreground What I’m trying to achieve When the user presses the Home button or switches apps, I want to show a system Picture in Picture window (floating video outside the app). Current setup Video is rendered via WebRTC The video is displayed inside a WKWebView (HTML / JavaScript) PiP works only while the app is foregrounded When the app backgrounds, the video disappears (only audio remains) Questions Does iOS support system Picture in Picture for: WebRTC video WKWebView / HTML video 2 Is AVPictureInPictureController limited only to: AVPlayerLayer AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer 3 If PiP requires native rendering: Is it mandatory to render WebRTC frames natively using AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer? Is PiP explicitly unsupported for WebView / HTML video? 📌 Clarification Apps like FaceTime and WhatsApp are able to show PiP outside the app. I want to understand whether this behavior is achievable only with native video pipelines, or if WebView-based video is fundamentally restricted by iOS. Any official clarification or documentation reference would be appreciated. Thank you.

[iOS 26 Beta] event.target.value is always empty — only from specific script domains
Hey everyone, After installing iOS 26 beta, I started noticing unexpected behavior in our input event handlers. Specifically, when users type into an field, event.target.value is always an empty string — but only when the JS file is loaded from a specific domain (e.g., t1.daumcdn.net). The exact same code works perfectly when hosted on other domains like t2.daumcdn.net or search1.daumcdn.net. 👉 I created a demo here: 🔗 https://codepen.io/bzasklcu-the-sans/pen/rNXogxL The scripts loaded from each domain are 100% identical (apart from the top-level selector). Before iOS 26 beta, this worked fine. I suspect this is related to ITP or some new cross-origin behavior in Safari, but I’d love to know if anyone else is running into this — or if someone knows a workaround. Thanks!

Why does NSURLSession with Multipath entitlement seamlessly switch to cellular when on a hardware Wi-Fi with no internet, but WKWebView does not?
正文：大家好， 当设备连接到没有互联网的 Wi-Fi SSID（例如，硬件设备的 AP）时，我看到 NSURLSession（multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive）和 WKWebView 之间的行为存在令人费解的差异。我正确启用了多路径授权，在这种情况下： NSURLSession 请求会自动回退到蜂窝网络并成功（无需用户干预，快速切换）。 WKWebView 加载失败或停滞：Web 内容未出现，即使系统网络路径得到满足并确认了真正的 Internet 可访问性，Web 视图似乎也没有使用蜂窝路径。 环境： iOS 版本：（例如 iOS 18.4） 设备：（例如 iPhone 15 Pro） 多路径权利：在应用程序中启用，使用 NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive 连接的 SSID：硬件设备 Wi-Fi，无需外部互联网 预期回退：一旦 Wi-Fi 没有互联网，就会自动到蜂窝网络，如 NSURLSession 所观察到的那样 我做了什么/观察到什么： 使用多路径的 NSURLSession 按预期工作：NSURLSessionConfiguration *cfg = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];cfg.multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive;NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration：cfg];NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL：[NSURL URLWithString：@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]];NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [session dataTaskWithRequest：req completionHandler：^（NSData *data， NSURLResponse *resp， NSError *err） { NSLog（@“NSURLSession result： %@， error： %@”， resp， err）; }];[任务简历];连接到设备 Wi-Fi（无外部 Internet）时，会话会悄悄地切换到手机网络并成功完成。 相同情况下WKWebView加载失败：[self.webView loadRequest：[NSURLRequest requestWithURL：[NSURL URLWithString：@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]]];Web 视图要么显示负载失败，要么只是挂起，即使较低级别的监视报告网络路径已满足并且真正的 Internet 连接可用。 网络路径监控逻辑： 我使用 C API nw_path_monitor来监视nw_path_status_satisfied。 一旦观察到满意，我就会使用nw_connection（例如，连接 tohttps://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html）执行真正的连接检查，以验证真实的互联网流量是否可以通过蜂窝网络流动。 该检查通过，确认回退到手机网络，但 WKWebView 仍不会加载内容。同时，相同条件下的 NSURLSession 请求会立即成功。 示例日志记录跟踪：[+] nw_path_status_satisfied=1， hasWiFi=1， hasCellular=1 [+] Internet 连接测试：准备就绪（通过 nw_connection） [-] WKWebView 加载失败/停滞 [+] NSURLSession 请求成功完成 问题： 为什么当 Wi-Fi 没有 Internet 时，具有多路径服务类型的 NSURLSession 无缝使用蜂窝网络，但 WKWebView 不表现出相同的回退行为？WKWebView 是否不以相同的方式接受系统的多路径回退？在这种情况下，它是否使用不同的网络堆栈或忽略多路径授权？ 是否有一种受支持的方法可以强制 WKWebView 像 NSURLSession 一样运行？ 例如，我是否可以通过启用多路径的 NSURLSession 桥接内容，并通过自定义方案将其注入 WKWebView？ 是否有任何 WKWebView 配置标志、首选项或策略启用相同的自动接口切换？ 与原始 NSURLSession 相比，WKWebView 处理网络接换、路径满意度或多路径的方式是否存在已知限制或记录在案的差异？ 我排除/尝试过的： 已验证多路径授权是否包含且处于活动状态。 确认的网络路径“满足”，并且在调用 [webView loadRequest：] 之前，真正的 Internet 可访问性成功。 将 WKWebView 加载延迟到连接验证之后。 观察到 NSURLSession 请求在相同的连接条件下成功。 任何对内部差异、推荐的解决方法或 Apple 推荐的模式的见解，以使 Web 内容在“没有互联网的 Wi-Fi”+ 自动回退到蜂窝场景中变得健壮，我们将不胜感激。 谢谢！

blockedByFilter = .specific(domains) does not work on Safari
Hi there, I have a popular open source app called Foqos. What I'm finding in iOS 26 (might even effect older versions) is that when using the webcontent api within Managed settings as the following: store.webContent.blockedByFilter = .specific(domains) It doesn't work on Safari, but does work on third party applications like chrome, firefox, etc. But when using the all and exception enum like the following store.webContent.blockedByFilter = .all(except: domains) This does work on Safari This is pretty inconsistent behavior of the API and should be fixed to match the documentation. Documentation does not mention anything about Safari limitations Again source code is open: https://github.com/awaseem/foqos You can run the app yourself and find the same issues. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Behavior of Safari in HTTP/2 communication
I want to confirm the specifications and behavior of Safari. We have a system built on Microsoft Azure that uses Azure AD B2C for authentication. When we logging in, there is a phone authentication feature where a call is made to the registered phone number. However, this phone authentication does not work properly only on iPhone's Safari. The specific situation is listed below: When performing phone authentication on iPhone's Safari, a call is made from Azure AD B2C, and pressing the # button on the Safari screen can be done. But then, it transitions to an error screen. We tried multiple iPhone devices and multiple iOS versions, but the result was the same. But when accessing the system on a PC, and performing phone authentication, it works without any errors. Also when we use browsers other than Safari (for example, Google Chrome and Firefox) on the iPhone, the phone authentication works without any errors, too. Even with Safari, if the device displaying the login screen and the device making the call are different, phone authentication works without any errors, too.(it fails if they are the same device). We reached out Microsoft about this issue, and they responded that: The Azure resource called FrontDoor at the front end of Azure AD B2C supports the HTTP/2 protocol, and HTTP/2 protocol is used in communication with Safari. In Safari's HTTP/2 communication, when a call is received while the screen is displayed, a reset packet is sent to the web server (in this case, the web server is FrontDoor). This interrupts the session, causing a session termination error on the Azure AD B2C side, and phone authentication fails. Therefore, we would like to ask you the following two points: In HTTP/2 communication, does the Safari browser send a reset packet to the web server when it receives a phone call? If so, what is the cause of this behavior? And are there any measures to prevent the reset packet from being sent?

Frontend Does Not Display Password Validation Error (e.g., “Password Cannot Contain Your Name”)
Description When creating an Apple ID via the web form, if the user’s chosen password contains their own name, the server correctly returns an error (e.g., "Password cannot contain your name") in the PUT request's JSON response. However, this error is not shown on the frontend, leaving users unaware of why the form silently fails or stalls. Steps to Reproduce Go to the Apple ID account creation page (https://appleid.apple.com/account). Enter valid account details where the password includes the user's first or last name (e.g., Johnacb2331!l for a user named John Doe). Complete all fields, including phone number verification and captcha. Submit the form and monitor the Network tab in your browser’s DevTools. Observe that the form appears to hang, loop, or silently fail. Open the PUT request to /account — the response JSON will contain the relevant validation error (e.g., “Password cannot contain your name”), but the user is not shown this. Expected Behavior The password validation error (e.g., containing the user’s name) should be immediately displayed in the UI next to the password field to inform the user and allow for correction. Actual Behavior No error is shown in the UI. The form appears to fail silently, leaving the user confused. The actual reason for failure is only visible through browser developer tools in the PUT response payload. Impact This can lead to: User frustration and confusion Increased support overhead Poor UX in a critical flow (account creation) Environment Browser: chrome 136.0.7103.114 Platform: Web (https://appleid.apple.com) Date observed: 31/5/25 Suggested Fix Ensure that password validation messages from backend responses surface in the frontend, especially for common user input issues like including names in passwords. No screenshots as I can not create a new account

In Safari's JavaScript geolocation, is altitude based on MSL or WGS84 ellipsoid?
Hello all, I'm trying to retrieve geolocation data on the web, but I'm having trouble with the altitude value, which seems to differ from what I get on Android. When using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition in Safari, is the altitude value based on mean sea level, or is it ellipsoidal altitude based on the WGS84 ellipsoid? altitude (WebKit JS): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkitjs/coordinates/1631861-altitude altitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/altitude ellipsoidalAltitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/ellipsoidalaltitude If anyone has any insight into this topic I would greatly appreciate it!

正文：大家好， 当设备连接到没有互联网的 Wi-Fi SSID（例如，硬件设备的 AP）时，我看到 NSURLSession（multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive）和 WKWebView 之间的行为存在令人费解的差异。我正确启用了多路径授权，在这种情况下： NSURLSession 请求会自动回退到蜂窝网络并成功（无需用户干预，快速切换）。 WKWebView 加载失败或停滞：Web 内容未出现，即使系统网络路径得到满足并确认了真正的 Internet 可访问性，Web 视图似乎也没有使用蜂窝路径。 环境： iOS 版本：（例如 iOS 18.4） 设备：（例如 iPhone 15 Pro） 多路径权利：在应用程序中启用，使用 NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive 连接的 SSID：硬件设备 Wi-Fi，无需外部互联网 预期回退：一旦 Wi-Fi 没有互联网，就会自动到蜂窝网络，如 NSURLSession 所观察到的那样 我做了什么/观察到什么： 使用多路径的 NSURLSession 按预期工作：NSURLSessionConfiguration *cfg = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];cfg.multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive;NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration：cfg];NSURLRequest *req = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL：[NSURL URLWithString：@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]];NSURLSessionDataTask *task = [session dataTaskWithRequest：req completionHandler：^（NSData *data， NSURLResponse *resp， NSError *err） { NSLog（@“NSURLSession result： %@， error： %@”， resp， err）; }];[任务简历];连接到设备 Wi-Fi（无外部 Internet）时，会话会悄悄地切换到手机网络并成功完成。 相同情况下WKWebView加载失败：[self.webView loadRequest：[NSURLRequest requestWithURL：[NSURL URLWithString：@“https://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html”]]];Web 视图要么显示负载失败，要么只是挂起，即使较低级别的监视报告网络路径已满足并且真正的 Internet 连接可用。 网络路径监控逻辑： 我使用 C API nw_path_monitor来监视nw_path_status_satisfied。 一旦观察到满意，我就会使用nw_connection（例如，连接 tohttps://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html）执行真正的连接检查，以验证真实的互联网流量是否可以通过蜂窝网络流动。 该检查通过，确认回退到手机网络，但 WKWebView 仍不会加载内容。同时，相同条件下的 NSURLSession 请求会立即成功。 示例日志记录跟踪：[+] nw_path_status_satisfied=1， hasWiFi=1， hasCellular=1 [+] Internet 连接测试：准备就绪（通过 nw_connection） [-] WKWebView 加载失败/停滞 [+] NSURLSession 请求成功完成 问题： 为什么当 Wi-Fi 没有 Internet 时，具有多路径服务类型的 NSURLSession 无缝使用蜂窝网络，但 WKWebView 不表现出相同的回退行为？WKWebView 是否不以相同的方式接受系统的多路径回退？在这种情况下，它是否使用不同的网络堆栈或忽略多路径授权？ 是否有一种受支持的方法可以强制 WKWebView 像 NSURLSession 一样运行？ 例如，我是否可以通过启用多路径的 NSURLSession 桥接内容，并通过自定义方案将其注入 WKWebView？ 是否有任何 WKWebView 配置标志、首选项或策略启用相同的自动接口切换？ 与原始 NSURLSession 相比，WKWebView 处理网络接换、路径满意度或多路径的方式是否存在已知限制或记录在案的差异？ 我排除/尝试过的： 已验证多路径授权是否包含且处于活动状态。 确认的网络路径“满足”，并且在调用 [webView loadRequest：] 之前，真正的 Internet 可访问性成功。 将 WKWebView 加载延迟到连接验证之后。 观察到 NSURLSession 请求在相同的连接条件下成功。 任何对内部差异、推荐的解决方法或 Apple 推荐的模式的见解，以使 Web 内容在“没有互联网的 Wi-Fi”+ 自动回退到蜂窝场景中变得健壮，我们将不胜感激。 谢谢！

blockedByFilter = .specific(domains) does not work on Safari
Hi there, I have a popular open source app called Foqos. What I'm finding in iOS 26 (might even effect older versions) is that when using the webcontent api within Managed settings as the following: store.webContent.blockedByFilter = .specific(domains) It doesn't work on Safari, but does work on third party applications like chrome, firefox, etc. But when using the all and exception enum like the following store.webContent.blockedByFilter = .all(except: domains) This does work on Safari This is pretty inconsistent behavior of the API and should be fixed to match the documentation. Documentation does not mention anything about Safari limitations Again source code is open: https://github.com/awaseem/foqos You can run the app yourself and find the same issues. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Behavior of Safari in HTTP/2 communication
I want to confirm the specifications and behavior of Safari. We have a system built on Microsoft Azure that uses Azure AD B2C for authentication. When we logging in, there is a phone authentication feature where a call is made to the registered phone number. However, this phone authentication does not work properly only on iPhone's Safari. The specific situation is listed below: When performing phone authentication on iPhone's Safari, a call is made from Azure AD B2C, and pressing the # button on the Safari screen can be done. But then, it transitions to an error screen. We tried multiple iPhone devices and multiple iOS versions, but the result was the same. But when accessing the system on a PC, and performing phone authentication, it works without any errors. Also when we use browsers other than Safari (for example, Google Chrome and Firefox) on the iPhone, the phone authentication works without any errors, too. Even with Safari, if the device displaying the login screen and the device making the call are different, phone authentication works without any errors, too.(it fails if they are the same device). We reached out Microsoft about this issue, and they responded that: The Azure resource called FrontDoor at the front end of Azure AD B2C supports the HTTP/2 protocol, and HTTP/2 protocol is used in communication with Safari. In Safari's HTTP/2 communication, when a call is received while the screen is displayed, a reset packet is sent to the web server (in this case, the web server is FrontDoor). This interrupts the session, causing a session termination error on the Azure AD B2C side, and phone authentication fails. Therefore, we would like to ask you the following two points: In HTTP/2 communication, does the Safari browser send a reset packet to the web server when it receives a phone call? If so, what is the cause of this behavior? And are there any measures to prevent the reset packet from being sent?

Frontend Does Not Display Password Validation Error (e.g., “Password Cannot Contain Your Name”)
Description When creating an Apple ID via the web form, if the user’s chosen password contains their own name, the server correctly returns an error (e.g., "Password cannot contain your name") in the PUT request's JSON response. However, this error is not shown on the frontend, leaving users unaware of why the form silently fails or stalls. Steps to Reproduce Go to the Apple ID account creation page (https://appleid.apple.com/account). Enter valid account details where the password includes the user's first or last name (e.g., Johnacb2331!l for a user named John Doe). Complete all fields, including phone number verification and captcha. Submit the form and monitor the Network tab in your browser’s DevTools. Observe that the form appears to hang, loop, or silently fail. Open the PUT request to /account — the response JSON will contain the relevant validation error (e.g., “Password cannot contain your name”), but the user is not shown this. Expected Behavior The password validation error (e.g., containing the user’s name) should be immediately displayed in the UI next to the password field to inform the user and allow for correction. Actual Behavior No error is shown in the UI. The form appears to fail silently, leaving the user confused. The actual reason for failure is only visible through browser developer tools in the PUT response payload. Impact This can lead to: User frustration and confusion Increased support overhead Poor UX in a critical flow (account creation) Environment Browser: chrome 136.0.7103.114 Platform: Web (https://appleid.apple.com) Date observed: 31/5/25 Suggested Fix Ensure that password validation messages from backend responses surface in the frontend, especially for common user input issues like including names in passwords. No screenshots as I can not create a new account

In Safari's JavaScript geolocation, is altitude based on MSL or WGS84 ellipsoid?
Hello all, I'm trying to retrieve geolocation data on the web, but I'm having trouble with the altitude value, which seems to differ from what I get on Android. When using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition in Safari, is the altitude value based on mean sea level, or is it ellipsoidal altitude based on the WGS84 ellipsoid? altitude (WebKit JS): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkitjs/coordinates/1631861-altitude altitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/altitude ellipsoidalAltitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/ellipsoidalaltitude If anyone has any insight into this topic I would greatly appreciate it!

iOS Safari 26 select dismiss issue
We are seeing an issue in Safari on iOS 26 where the a automatic unfocus of on select box dismisses the second one. <select name="choice1" onblur="console.log('onblur1');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus1');"> <option value="first">First Value</option> <option value="second" selected>Second Value</option> <option value="third">Third Value</option> </select> <select name="choice2" onblur="console.log('onblur2');" onfocus="console.log('onfocus2')"> <option value="first">First Value</option> <option value="second" selected>Second Value</option> <option value="third">Third Value</option> </select> select something in choice1. quickly tap choice2 before onblur1 is logged. At the timing of onblur1 the selection menu for choice2 is dismissed. Anyone know how to fix this behavior?
