IHTML Text entry set to MULTILINE on Motorolas

Forums:

We are finalizing an application that utilizes the IHTML API for display of off client content. Some of this content is made up of forms for the user to submit data. Typically, this all works rather well.

However, on Motorola BREW 3.x phones, we run into an interesting issue. Namely, the text entry fields in the HTML page are set to 'multiline' by default. The result of this is that when you press 'DOWN' to move to the next text entry field, you actually scroll inside of hte text entry field you are currently in. This is very confusing to the user as there are several lines in each text entry field.

To get to the next text entry field, you have to press DOWN >5 times or so. Also, when you press down, your prior line is scrolled off the top of the field, leaving the text entry 'blank'. Again, this is extremely confusing for the user.

Does anyone know how to specify the text entry as single line? Clearly there is an option somewhere as Motorola is choosing one option and other manufacturer's the text entry is set to single line. That or the API was incorrectly implemented by Motorola on their BREW 3.x phones.

Thanks in advance.
