I am still a javascript beginner and tried to integrate the virtual keyboard into my project. This already worked without problems, unfortunately I have the problem as soon as I use an input via this keyboard in my input field type Search that the search does not work. If I enter the input directly with my keyboard the search works fine. What can be the reason for this? Also when I use the virtual keyboard to enter an input the -webkit-search-cancel-button doesn't work either or is only displayed when I move the mouse over this area.
<input type="search" placeholder="Searchbar">
Code example: https://codepen.io/siad/pen/jOYLJVW
Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find the error for this.

I have an input type email.
<form>
E-mail:
<input type="email" name="email">
</form>
As soon as the user start typing, I would like to give them the option of most popular emails. Ex. #gmail.com ...
See the image below for details.
How would one go about and implement something like this?
Is there any plug-in or framework that help me achieve this kind of task?
Will HTML/CSS/JS have the ability to do that or only swift2 can ?
QuickType is part of the built-in iOS keyboard, and here is no way to access and/or modify it with JavaScript from a simple website. Unfortunately, you can't even detect the keyboard's height, and position some fake QuickType-like buttons over the keyboard, because the keyboard animates up from the bottom, over the current application without resizing or moving anything.
I'm afraid your only option is to add these as small buttons under the input, or maybe you can create something similar to the iOS copy/paste menu, that becomes visible, when the user starts typing in the input, and append the email endings on a click/touch.
I agree with #frzsombor, but I can think of a different workaround. It would take a lot of code though, so it might not be worth it. Anyway, what you could do is periodically take a screenshot and check for one of the colors on the keyboard in a certain position, maybe #ACB3BB (the return button color). If it is there, you could display another Quick Type Bar above the built-in one. The only problem would be if an update to iOS changes what the bar looks like, but you could always update your website. Another possible way to detect the keyboard is here. I think you need jQuery for that, though...
i am creating a web page for mobile devices. In that there are few input fields which require user to always enter data in uppercase.
I looked at few options like
text-transform property of css
It changes user input to uppercase but it also changes the placeholder. That doesn't looks good.
autocapitalize attribute for input
By setting it on, it allows keyboard to open in caps. But this doesn't seems to work for me. It works perfectly with textarea but not with input in android.
Is there any better way to achieve this?
try adding autocapitalize="characters" to input, it worked for me on Android, and it should work on other kind of devices as MDN web docs says here:
The autocapitalize attribute doesn’t affect behavior when typing on
a physical keyboard. Instead, it affects the behavior of other input
mechanisms, such as virtual keyboards on mobile devices and voice
input.
You should be able to bind to a keydown or keypress event (I'd use jQuery) and modify the input.
It won't affect the soft keyboard; maybe you can use this along with autocapitalize?
So just to add some more information for future users, here is an example where all displayed text will be in caps and the virtual keyboard will also show in all caps.
Note that custom keyboards like swift apparently do not work but the builti in ones do.
Changes are done through inputProps
<TextField
name={props.name}
value={props.val}
inputProps={{autocapitalize:"characters", textTransform:"uppercase"}}
onChange={props.doStuff}
/>
I'm aware that questions have been asked and answered about the Android soft keyboard and which buttons it shows by default, and in what circumstances, and how to modify them.
However, all the answers involve changing the Java code. Since I am writing a cross-platform app using Phonegap and jQueryMobile, I'd like to stay away from learning Java.
My problem is this:
I have a form with (in this order, in abbreviated html):
<form action='javascript:processSubmit()'>
<select id='expenseType'/>
<input type='text' id='expenseAmount'/>
<select id='expenseDate'/>
<button type='submit'/>
</form>
What currently happens is that the soft keyboard will appear once I press the text input field. So far so good. The button in the bottom right corner of the soft keyboard says 'Next'. But pressing it does not shift the focus to the next form field. And when the user has clicked on the second select and picked a value, the keyboard button does not change to 'Done'.
Is there not a way to give the fields some special html attribute to make the magic happen?
Or a Javascript way to change the softkeyboard?
AFAIK, there is no way from JavaScript or HTML to affect the behavior of the Android soft keyboard.
I know that is a very old question, but with this plugin https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-plugin-keyboard you can change this behaviour with the Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar method
I am building an application for android, using jquery mobile (windows 7).
i have a function focus and using this function for example: you have a text field, and you want the text field to only accept numbers, and if you put in any string values an error will appear.
The problem is that when I run the app on mobile the focus function doesnt work. (it works, if you give it an string an error will appear, but then you cant click on other fields, and when you click on same field the error message won go away you have to remove it manually) but when I run the same code in my local host it works just fine.
I would use the autofocus and pattern attributes available in html5.
autofocus is simple enough in that the field its on will get the focus on page load and pattern allows you to specify a regex that this particular field must adhere to.

I have a text input field in my web page that I am using to collect a date (via the jQuery Tools .dateinput). The user does not need to be able to type into the field. A dialog box appears when the field is clicked on. This is a problem on my Motorola Droid, because I don't want the soft-keyboard to appear when the field is clicked.
I have tried input.blur() on focus and also setting the field to disabled and readonly. Setting the field to disabled has undesired side effects. Setting the field to readonly works in everything but the Android browser. The browser seems to recognized the "readonly" attribute (or readOnly via javascript), BUT the field does not actually become readonly. When you click it, the soft keyboard still appears and allows you to change the field.
I suppose that this is a bug in the Android browser. Can anyone come up with a clever alternative?
I used a workaround - since I didn't need to actually edit in the input field (like you, I was popping a date picker), I changed to a span with similar styling. The code is kind of trivial once you have the trick, and it's really app specific so I don't have any really for you to see.
