JavaScript alerts, confirms, and prompts don't work when you add a web page to your home screen either.

Looking at the source, there are a ton of hidden fields. At first I thought the author was saying that it was because the field was stretched to 300px wide.

Yeah, I just checked that as well. Perhaps after a touch event occurs, Safari iterates across all DOM nodes with the same tag to see which DOM node's coordinates intersects with the touch's XY point?

Apparently, given the other posts, this isn't just Safari.

The conditions of the problem would be clearer if they didn't hide the extra form elements. But then they wouldn't be able to get the punch of "a simple form breaks iOS 7!"

To be fair though, that form has like 5-6 thousand hidden inputs.

Yeah. I get that it's a problem that iOS7 safari crashes with a lot of inputs, but that's an insanely-huge number of inputs. This is kind of an edge-case and you should probably avoid doing that in your web-pages. A hundred-ish inputs per-page is probably a better idea.

This also causes the tab to freeze on the OS X version of Safari as well. OS X 10.9 (13A584) Safari 7.0 (9537.71)

Same goes for Chrome 29.0.1547.76

Nope, works just fine on Chrome 29.0.1547.76 for me.

While it hanged Safari on my iOS7 iPad 4th generation, Chrome kept on working without a problem. Could it have anything to do with Nitro?

I haven’t noticed anything of the sort. For instance, my Instapaper and 1Password bookmarklets work fine in Mobile Safari.

A quick search query also doesn’t turn up anyone else having problems. What exactly isn’t working for you?
