Gilbert Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi again, I would like to see if there is a way to have the phone's keyboard popup as soon as a page with a form loads. I was hoping that using autofocus might bring up the keyboard, but you still have to tap the input box to get it to show, so what's the point of autofocus. I figured if you have a certain input box with the focus you naturally would want the keyboard to show. Is there any way to have the phone's keyboard popup when you enter a page? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 From what I can tell, it looks like at least some phones require some sort of user interaction to show the keyboard. So, if you set focus from inside a button's click handler, that would show the keyboard, but setting focus inside the page's load handler does not because the user didn't interact with the page.

Gilbert Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 I really thought it would be nice to save a 'keystroke' or 'tap' - if you have to do it with another click event what is the sense; they might as well click the input box. Thanx for your answer. I hope that a new method might come out to make this possible - I don't see that it is an invasion of privacy just to have your keyboard pop up when your going to do it anyway when an input box comes up.....
