[Chilli] IPhone Issue

[Roger Pixley]

Solved the issue by splitting out the call to chilliform.js to it's
own named function then calling that function name (loadForm if you
care which you probably don't) via window.onload. The majorissue that
I have now is that certain websites once they are filtered through
coova are unreachable. Specifically it throws a kCFErrorDomainWinSock
error. I can ping the server follow the route to the server but
requesting a webpage seems impossible. I'll try and figure it out and
post back.
