MSDN forumns issues on with Safari

Question
-
Hi,
It seems there is an issue when I try to post a new question to any of the MSDN Forums using an iPad with Safari.
The web pages never renders properly so I can't put any text in the body section to post my message.
Any suggestions on how to fix this.
Thanks,
Ward

I just made a test with my iPad 4 Safari for iOS 8.3, got the same issue. Safari could only type words in the "Title" box, but displayed nothing for "Body", so it was unable to type anything.
I also tried Opera mini as an alternate browser. Opera mini could display "Body" box with the upper toolbar, but still not able to type words in the box.
I believe it's a compatibility issue. It seems iOS doesn't support "Body" upper toolbar well. "Title" is only a text box, so it works fine.

http://blogs.itecn.net/blogs/alexis| Thanks for doing that for me. It does look like you have described it well. I have emailed to the alias that was suggested.

This can be reproduced on IE11 by using an Apple Safari (iPad) User-Agent string. So, I imagine the problem could be on the server.
Yes. Here is what happens on ComSandbox
in IE11 Edge
<h3>Body</h3> <div id="editor"> <script type="text/javascript">
with Apple Safari (iPad) override<h3>Body</h3> <div id="editor"> <input type="hidden" name="attachmentIds" />
Can you override your User-Agent string on your Safari?
What is name="attachmentIds" supposed to do anyway?
Looks like it may be obsolete?
(Supported Input Values - no instance of attachmentIds found)
--assuming it was ever correct
(No mention of it in Revision History there either.)
FYI

Good analysis.
I heard a rumor last week of that Microsoft would publish a version of Edge browser for iOS and Android.
By seeing such issues, I really hope this rumor could become true.
