mobile safari cannot focus on textarea - javascript

I'm not trying to auto focus on textarea, just when the user clicks on it. However it simply doesn't work sometimes. The user clicks on the textarea but no keyboard pops up. Why?
Try my website: http://162.243.161.127 on mobile safari. On the top menu click on chat, you should see a textarea that you can type in. Half the time focusing on it doesn't work. Where do I begin to debug, thanks.

Ah, pesky :hovers. They're terrible on touch devices, for so many reasons..
Remove this and see if it helps.
.chatInputContainer:hover .image {
display: block
}
Then you'll need to figure out a way to provide :hover for desktops only.

Firefox Android ignores click event when tapping element while oncsreen keyboard is open

When typing into a text box with the on-screen keyboard and then tapping on a clickable element while the keyboard is still open
the on-screen keyboard disappears as expected
the tap is ignored, I see in the debugger that the click event handler isn't even reached
tapping on the clickable element again, it now works as designed.
Tapping on other elements on the page with a click event handler while the keyboard is open works fine. One difference is that the unclickable button comes up only while typing, as it is in an autocomplete dropdown, a <ul> element switched visible by removing display: none after the third character is typed.
This happens on Firefox for Android, recent versions. It works in Chrome. Safari on iPad works, but only since the recent 16.x upgrade.
This looks like a weird browser vs platform quirk. Does anyone happen to know a workaround or can even explain some background
EDIT after further experimentation I have a fairly minimal jsfiddle to demonstrate the problem. It seems that Firefox on Android ignores click handlers which are attached to HTML elements created while the on-screen keyboard is open. Wouldn't mind if someone could confirm in a comment that I am not alone with my FF while waiting on an answer from someone in the know.

Wrong clickable area of a button on mobile

This is my website.
I'm currently working on multi-choice filters, or rather on resetting them. There is no problem on PC.
Click the X button and it clears the filter
But the same simple thing doesn't work like this on mobile devices. I don't understand why.
You need to click an area below the X button, well below, to dismiss the filter.
This is how you need to click to make it work
Also, I just realized that when clicking like this there is an error in the console.
Error in the console after successful dismissing
I'm testing the mobile behavior in Opera (PC version, last update) using the Inspector with mobile simulation; the device is irrelevant. You can try it too.
The same behavior occurs on an actual android, both in Chrome and Opera.
Side notes!
If you activate the dropdown search in any multichoice field, while it's visible, the close buttons work perfectly well and precisely on mobiles. (Although the behavior of this dropdown panel is weird too. It does not always drops down when focusing on a field, as it does on PC.)
When I tried to locate the close button using the console and Jquery and then applied .click(), it worked. So I guess the problem doesn't lie in JS.
If you want to test it on a phone choose the Desktop site. On the mobile view, though, another peculiar thing occurs-the blue X button to the right of the field doesn't work.
PS. I've been wracking my brains for 3 hours to solve this mystery, yet no result. Please help!
The culprit was the "chosen" plugin. Don't use this crappy plugin. They simply don't support mobile devices and have tons of bugs.
I switched to Select2 and everything is great.

Android keyboard hide text inputs

I have an application using jQuery Mobile.
When testing on Chrome (on Android), when the keyboard is opened, some inputs located at the bottom of the page are automatically moved to the top. That the behavior I expect.
When I add this website into the Home Screen of my android, this behavior does not work, and all text inputs are hidden by the keyboard.
I have also remarked that when I open again the same application on Chrome, and after retry the Webview-based app, everything is now OK. The inputs are not hidden anymore.
Do you already seen this kind of error ?
Thanks by advance
I created a demo for you, as an alternative
I had to append a blank box to create some space at the bottom and then move the input up to the header when you focus on the input because its at the bottom so no scroll space.
Demo
https://jsfiddle.net/fyom081o/
Code
$(document).on("focus", "#text-basic", function(event){
var boxheight = $(window).height() - 40;
$("#mycontntent").append("<div id='blank' style='height:"+boxheight+"px;'"+"></div>");
$('html, body').animate({scrollTop: $('#text-basic').offset().top - 100}, 500);
});
$(document).on("focusout", "#text-basic", function(event){
$('#blank').remove();
});
Please see the answer from when I raised this same question...
Jquery Mobile 1.4.5 virtual keyboard in the device hides the form inputs at the bottom of the page
I opened an issue with JQM and this is the response I got. Turns out it's a Chrome fullscreen browser bug, nothing to do with JQM...
The only way i could think to attempt to work around this would be something like http://jsbin.com/kagidi/9/edit?html,css,output which fixes the issue on chrome homescreen however this is not really a complete fix it has a few issues that cant really be solved.
There is no way to know the keyboard size, and there for how much height to add to the body, on a particular device even more so when you keep in mind custom keyboards.
It requires a lot of userAgent sniffing to make it work properly
Because of these issues this is not really something we would add to the library i don't think. However this may solve your issue

Android keyboard seems to toggle jquery .slideToggle, anyone know a fix?

I'm currently developing a site where I hide the header in mobile devices, it can be opened using a anchor with a jquery slideToggle function. Great stuff. Inside the header there's a search field and some other buttons.
However, when I focus the input on android and the virtual keyboard opens up my header closes. hiding the search field and everything else in it.
I have come to the conclusion that it is the keyboard that toggles this "bug".
Have anyone ever seen this before? I have no clue what I'm even looking for. Bloody android! :)
Thanks,
Robin
var searchToggle = $('.search-toggle'),
subHeader = $('.sub-header');
searchToggle.click(function(){
subHeader.slideToggle();
});
Problem solved. Found out that when the keyboard opens up the window trigger a resize function I used.

Can I clear the focus from a touched div on a mobile?

I have a page intended for desktop and mobile that has buttons allowing the user to touch and hold them to make adjustments. This jsfiddle illustrates the behaviour.
The problem is that on my Android phone, the div acting as a button gets highlighted with focus. It will then no longer respond to touch events until the focus has been taken away from it (by pressing another button) and going back to it.
Is is possible to clear or disable the focus of elements?
Would e.preventDefault be an option?
you can try $("#id").blur(), or simply focus on something else like $("#otherid").focus()
