Hi,
I have created a text input on my website, and I would like to set focus on it using $w(“#input1”).focus(); (for example after i submit data pressing a button) ; on my iphone (chrome or safari), the focus looks like is set, but the keyboard to insert text does not appear: i still have to touch the input object to make the keyboard appear. Is it a bug, a limitation, or I am doing wrong?

thanks

I would suggest that it is down to your phone design and you needing to select the user input text box itself so that the phone knows to bring up the keyboard for you to type with.

Even though the focus function should…
Receiving focus through a call to this function is equivalent to a user clicking on or tabbing to the element manually.

It might be that this function does not work on Iphone mobile browsers like Chrome or Safari and you have to manually press the text box to call up the keyboard.
