Hi,
Did anybody ever tried to use a text-field in an epub?

What I want is the following:
Create a (FixedLayout)epub with a form. The user can enter text in the form and press a submit or validate button. The validation could be done with a javascript or something like that.

I don't want to use iBooksAuthor, I just want plain html5 and javascript.

I tried a simple input-box in html5, but it is not possible to enter text. There is just a visible text-field

Code:

<div class="entry">
  <label for="form-1">Name (required) </label>
  <input id="form-1"  name= "testtext" type="text" autofocus="true" required="true"/>
</div>

Did someone ever tried to enter text in a form?
