Focus element on the iPhone browser without showing keyboard
<p>We're building a web page on which users will have to enter barcodes. It has to work fine on the mobile device (iPhone in our case) browser (Safari/Chrome, doesn't matter). We've got a barcode scanner case for iPhone which is supposed to simplify the process. So when the page is opened we already set focus to the barcode box (which is input[type='password']). We face following issues: </p>

<p>1) Input element if not focused by default. It gets focus only when user touches the screen. </p>

<p>2) (which is more important) When input element is focused keyboard pops up always. We don't want it because we have barcode scanner. Keyboard is not necessary at all. </p>

<p>Is there any way to overcome these problems? </p>
