Anyone ever done something like this?

I need to implement a possible pop-up keyboard into a html page that shows when a user is creating a survey, the only guide i have found is a late 2008 one.

this is the link ; this will be my first full java project and i was just seeing if anyone has done anything like this before.

Why would want to do this when every single major OS includes a soft keyboard as a feature? Are you planning on supporting all sorts of different layouts?

The reason for this is because your request is kind of nuts. Launching an app in someone's OS from the browser can't be done by design and if they needed an on screen keyboard they would launch it and use it.

What I'm asking here is what are you trying to accomplish by having this feature?

Thos is a kiosk interface that will be on display to the public that only has a touch screen and no keyboard. I dont want them to be able to be pressing through the OS so when they come to awnser a question or fill their contact details in they press a link and it shows the keyboard on screen?

you should look up "kiosk mode" for whatever OS your kiosk is running.

And that PC obviously has to have an OS. And many OSs now have kiosk modes. Look into it.
