I'm working on an online eBay profit forecasting calculator here

I can't seem to get the input fields to work in safari and mobile safari. They work fine in FF & Chrome. I click into them, but nothing shows when I type. I've been searching google but can't seem to find any clues. I'm wondering if I'm missing something in the css. Here's my css for the input fields:

input {
    width: 155px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    height: 24px;
    cursor: text;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-weight: bold;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 3px;
    box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px black;
    -moz-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px black;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px black;
    background-color: #F8FBEF;
 }

Your problem lies in calcstyle.css here:

* { 
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}

I'm not entirely sure why user-select: none; would prevent you from typing into an input but removing this block fixes it for me.


EDIT

Here is a possible solution:

Select everything but your inputs...

*:not(input.field) {    
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
}
