IPad issue with WebAccess (8.0.2.hp2)

Question

Hi.
Accessing the webaccess page is generally fine, when using an iPad.
writing a new email also opens. recepient's address can be entered fine, same for
subject. But the main "edit" for the email text cannot be used to enter any text,
the focus & cursor cannot be placed in it.
Who knows, what's going wrong here?
Regards, Rudi.

I can't believe it!
Hm. Just tried the "basic interface", now I'm wondering, if this really is the same
as "Webaccess Simple Templates", I'll edit the config files as mentioned in
TID7006843, thanks so far, Rudi.
When using an IPad to access GroupWise Webaccess, the ability to navigate is
hampered by the css (Cascading Style Sheets) that are used in the default view
presented.
Resolution
The Webaccess Application can be modified to detect when an IPad or IPod Touch
browser is accessing the system and return the simple templates instead of the css
templates.
To set this up, please follow the directions below:
1. Locate the webacc.cfg file for your Webaccess Application. The default locations
are listed below:
a) Linux /OES2 - /var/opt/novell/groupwise/webaccess
b) NetWare - sys:/novell/webaccess
c) Windows - c:\novell\groupwise\webaccess
2. Make a backup copy of the file before changes are made
3. Open the file with a text editor
4. Within the file, there will be a section where there will be many entries that
start with "Templates.UserAgent.#.id=*string reported by browser*". Note the entry
listed with the largest number. Afterward, create 4 new lines. If the highest
existing number in an existing entry is 8, then an entry should be created like the
one below:
Templates.UserAgent.9.id=*iPad
Templates.UserAgent.9.interface=simple
Templates.UserAgent.10.id=*iPod
Templates.UserAgent.10.interface=simple
5. Save and exit the file
6. Restart Tomcat using the one of the commands below and then test with your IPad.
a. To restart Tomcat on NetWare enter the following commands from the console
java -exit
tomcat4.ncf
b. To restart Tomcat on Windows, open the Services Console and right-click Tomcat
5.5 and choose Stop and then right click again and choose Start.
c. To restart Tomcat on Linux/OES2, open an terminal window as the root user and
issue the command "rcnovell-tomcat5 restart". On other SuSE Linux Enterprise
distributions, the command will be "rctomcat# restart" where the # sign represents
the version of Tomcat that is running.
