The amount field works for me on trunk (08/30), although the 'From' and 'To' fields are wonky in that they auto-select the default selection on tap instead of seeing an appropriate drop down selection popup.

Attachment: testcase

I wasn't really able to reverse engineer the cause of the problem (thanks to messy js libraries like jquery in this case), but I think this is basically happening because of bug 681640.
The first mousedown is getting consumed for text boxes, the first time. When the text box is focused, then the mousedown is not consumed anymore.

Hence, why in this case, on second tap on the input field, the drop down menu appears.

Attachment: relevant jquery code

This is the relevant jquery code from that site that is making that drop down.
Notice the onmousedown function.

Yes, this should work now that bug 681640 is fixed.
