Create a favorites list that still uses iOS features

Question

It is very easy to style text input and work in iOS. By right, I mean that the on-screen keyboard will still open as expected, and the Previous | Next still allows you to insert tabs between inputs.

Most preferred picklists seem to replace the actual ones ... with other elements to get a nice look. It works in iOS, but if you Previous | Following through a bunch of entrances, it will not act as expected.

Is it possible to create a selection list so that it works as usual, but looks something like what you could get from Dropkick JS or another library (or create one yourself)? I thought I was trying to hide the real choice behind the item, but I don't think I can make the list open correctly using javascript.

You can change almost any form control in iOS. Here's a great demo: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2609-customizing-web-forms-with-css3-and-webkit
I am a big fan of the formalization library, which will apply styles that you may not like, but you can always change them; this is a great library to learn: http://formalize.me
