    Which browser?
    Do you get any Javascript errors?

    This is Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all on iPadOS on a 12.9″ iPad Pro which has plenty of screen real estate to render the page, it’s just that the list of addresses doesn’t work. I can search for an address but it shows 0 and if I click the 0 it does show me the matched addresses in a pull-down, but they are not selectable and it doesn’t update the panel correctly so I can’t push them to the other side anyway.

    The thing is Apple may let those other browsers bring their own look and feel and password and bookmark synching, but underneath it’s all Safari WebKit, because Apple disallows any browser app from bringing it’s own native engine.

    So it may as well just be Safari. And no, there are no debugger tools for Safari on iPad OS. The closest I can get is just for sniffing the requests that go over the network using a clever private VPN solution that is part of an app called HTTP Catcher, but if it doesn’t go over the wire it doesn’t see it, so no JavaScript errors showing. ??

    This is really the only thing not working on my iPad of all the sites I use all over the Internet, your one screen is the only thing that is broken.
    Used to be worse, but a few iPadOS releases ago they added mouse support and that has gotten me around the little nit-picky things that didn’t use to work without a mouse.

    Wish I could offer more. Hmm. I will see if connecting the iPad up to Xcode on my Mac can let me get at some kind of additional logging. Stay tuned.

    Safari is what I consider Apple’s Internet Explorer equivalent (as in a browser that fails to support many standard web features).

    Don’t bother with the VPN – that will not be visible in the network traffic.
    Have checked that behaviour on an old iPhone and see what you mean.
    However not really sure where to go from here because of the developer tool limitations in the mobile browser. And I only have a Windows desktop where Safari is no longer offered for.

    Right.

    In this case it is probably a difference touch interface vs. mouse interface and the fact the item selections are being mapped to pull-down menus instead of a list. I think I can get you something to go on by running an iPad simulator under Xcode and just running the Safari there and seeing what kind of JavaScript logs I can get that way. Stay tuned.

    I wouldn’t care if iPadOS wasn’t my primary platform.
    Battery lasts all day and it is far less cumbersome than carrying a laptop (with much more limited battery life).

    This is the ONE thing it doesn’t work for. ??
