Actually I'm developing an ios application using Cordova, I want to change the submit button text in device keyboard to "Send" instead of "Return", I already succeeded to change the text to "Search" using the following html code

<form>
    <input type="search" name="search-query" id="search-query" />
</form>

Any one can help me please ?

After about 4 years of "on and off" searching for a solution to this, I do not believe this is possible as the UIWebView will not allow you to set the keyboard submit text via JavaScript or an HTML attribute. So this would require the use of <textInputTraits key="textInputTraits" returnKeyType="Send"/> within a storyboard, or programatically through the view controller which doesn't solve the problem for cordova.

The Ionic Keyboard Plugin for Cordova have also not cracked this fairly popular request since the issue was opened Dec 2014.

Note: You can add <button type="submit">Whatever</button> below your textfield to at least allow the keyboard to display the blue "Go" button which submits the form.
