1. A computer implemented method comprising: displaying a document on a mobile device;detecting entry of a comb field of the document on the mobile device, the comb field comprising at least one comb cell;determining a size of a canvas that fits onto the comb field on the mobile device; andgenerating a mobile platform canvas based on the comb field parameters, the mobile platform canvas capable of receiving at least one text character input. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the comb field parameters comprise at least one of a predefined number of cell(s) associated with the comb field, a size of the cell(s), location of the comb field in the document, value of the comb field, and font used in the comb field. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one text character input is able to be displayed in the mobile platform canvas. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the mobile platform canvas is superimposed on the corresponding comb field, and wherein the input is displayed on the mobile platform canvas such that each character of the input appears to be located in the individual cell(s) of the comb field in a sequence as provided in the input. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein a movable cursor is displayed at the end of the input, and wherein the movable cursor can be displayed at any position within the mobile platform canvas. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the movable cursor is a custom blinking movable cursor. 7. The method of claim 4, wherein display of the input in the mobile platform canvas is based on at least one of an insert operation, and a delete operation. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein display of the input based on an insert operation comprises calculation of a location for all input characters and the movable cursor on the mobile platform canvas and display of the input characters and movable cursor on the mobile platform canvas. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein display of the input based on a delete operation causes calculation of a location for all input characters and the movable cursor on the mobile platform canvas with the deleted character removed, and displays the remaining input characters and movable cursor on the mobile platform canvas. 10. The method of claim 1 further comprising saving the input associated with the comb field when navigation away from the comb field occurs. 11. An apparatus comprising: a display module that displays a document comprising a comb field, a mobile platform canvas, and input associated with the comb field on the mobile platform canvas;a reception module that receives an input associated with the comb field of the document, and calculates display coordinates for each input character for display on the mobile platform canvas; anda comb field parameter data comprising at least one of a predefined number of cell(s) associated with the comb field, size of the cell(s), location of the comb field in the document, value of the comb field, and font used in the comb field,wherein the reception module calculates the display coordinates for input characters based on the comb field parameters. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the mobile platform canvas is generated upon entry of the comb field. 13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the mobile platform canvas is superimposed on the corresponding comb field, and wherein the input is displayed on the mobile platform canvas such that each character of the input appears to be located in the individual cell(s) of the comb field in a sequence as provided in the input. 14. A non-transient computer readable storage medium having instructions for providing comb text field inputs on a mobile device that, when executed by a computing system, cause a computing system to perform: displaying a document on a mobile device;detecting entry of a comb field of the document on the mobile device, the comb field comprising at least one comb cell;determining a size of a canvas that fits onto the comb field on the mobile device; andgenerating a mobile platform canvas based on the comb field parameters, the mobile platform canvas capable of receiving at least one text character input. 15. The non-transient computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the comb field parameters comprise at least one of a predefined number of cell(s) associated with the comb field, a size of the cell(s), location of the comb field in the document, value of the comb field, and font used in the comb field. 16. The non-transient computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the computer readable storage medium further causes the computer to perform displaying the input in the mobile platform canvas. 17. The non-transient computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the mobile platform canvas is superimposed on the corresponding comb field, and wherein the input is displayed on the mobile platform canvas such that each character of the input appears to be located in the individual cell(s) of the comb field in a sequence as provided in the input. 18. The non-transient computer readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein a movable cursor is displayed at the end of the input, and wherein the movable cursor can be displayed at any position within the mobile platform canvas. 19. The non-transient computer readable storage medium of claim 18, wherein the movable cursor is a custom blinking movable cursor. 20. The non-transient computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the computer readable program when executed on the computer causes the computer to edit the display of at least a part of the input based on at least one of an insert operation, and a delete operation.
