It's happened to every single one of us at one point or another; stranded out in an unfamiliar area of the Portland metro area, a MAX bell sounds. Scanning a row of newspaper racks, the word "bonus" is featured in a headline. A young lady illustrating a story snaps her fingers back and forth, semi-rhythmically. A game of ball and jacks transpires outside a recondite suburban strip mall. Eyes lock, ears perk; ocular and aural foci are implemented. All other senses cease to function; everything around the stimulant catalyst darkens. A bead of sweat forms on the temple and rolls down the right cheek. The mouth becomes an arid graveyard of splintered syllables. Ring. Bonus. Snap. Bounce. There they go again. These sounds, these words—! Fists tighten as these stimuli swirl and tear at the cerebral cortex. Only one thing exists to alleviate these neuroses and restore order to the world.

Pinball.

Welcome to the Portland Pinball Map for iPhone. This mobile adaptation of the PortlandPinballMap.com website is your pocket-sized reference for the only game that has the power to drive a man to tears of anguish and happiness simultaneously. Featuring splash artwork by Drew Marshall, this application is just as beautiful as the game it seeks to extol.

You can control which type of keyboard is displayed when a user touches a text field in a web page. To display a telephone keypad, an email keyboard, or a URL keyboard, use the tel, email, or url keywords for the type attribute on an input element, respectively. To display a numeric keyboard, set the value of the pattern attribute to "[0-9]*" or "\d*".

These keywords and the pattern attribute are part of HTML 5, and are available in iPhone OS 3.1 and later. See Listing 15 to see how to display each type of keyboard, including the standard keyboard.
