// I was having some trouble getting my text input field to relieve itself of focus on the
// iPhone, and after a little searching, I came up with a couple options. It's pretty
// self-explanatory. The 2nd line will de-focus all input fields, and it relies on jQuery.
// I found that calling blur() on the single focused textfield didn't always work. Either
// one of these lines should work independently, but both of them together cannot be stopped!
var hideKeyboard = function() { document.activeElement.blur();
$("input").blur();
};
