Can you show / hide iPad Safari keyboard using JavaScript?

Question

Can I control the display, that is (show / hide) the keyboard in iPad Safari through code?

I have 2 form fields; 1. Text field (for example, name) 2. Select a list / drop-down menu (user status)

My question is when the user moves the focus from the name to the state, the keyboard is still there. Why is this and how can I hide the keyboard when the focus moves to the drop-down menu?

Thank.
