after transitioning to a new page, i’d like to give one INPUT
element the focus – i.e. have the input keypad pop up automatically.

How can I do this?

Hi everest,

Doing a quick research I found this question in stackoverflow that states this is not possible: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6837543/show-virtual-keyboard-on-mobile-phones-in-javascript/6837575#6837575

i was able to do it.

in the post transition method – after the page is built and displayed.

setTimeout( function ()
{
document.getElementById(“id”).focus();
}, 250 );

the input field is given focus and the keyboard pops open.

Well done. Thanks for reporting it to all of us.

So… I love this hack. It works in the Mobile Sim.. but it doesn’t appear to work on either IOS or Android (anymore??).

Have you guys seen the same here? Any ideas how to get this to go these days?
