Hi guys,

the post file/image uploader plugin will not respond in an Apple device.

after pressing the "paper clip" icon it sais 'drag files here or press the Add files button' 

works on PC & android but on any iphone or ipad it does not open the Add Files screen

I will upload a picture from my phone in a minute.

works on my iphone and ipad...  not dragging and dropping of course since no where to drag from.. but the uploader does come up...

are you saying it worked for you here on ios, but not your site??

If so, might be some js conflict on your site with ios - hard to track down since not good debugging tools...  have you tried an alternate browser on ios as another check?

safari as a browser continues to lack behind every other browser, especially with js support for mobiles...

not sure I have much more to offer... perhaps @yellow-swordfish has some thoughts since he is more of an ios user than I...

As both an OSX.Mac and IOS/iPhone user my own opinion of Safari is probably unprintable. If they are unable to bring it up to date with standards then I really would like to see Apple just give up on it.

However - you have implied above that safari/IOS worked on this site. If that is the case then I am surprised but heartened a little.
