Show virtual keyboard on mobile phones in javascript

by

You can’t, at least not in iOS (iPhone), and I believe Android as well. It’s a usability issue that the keyboard should not be allowed to be triggered except by user input (it’s just annoying if it’s automatic).

There are a couple of ways I know of to get around this:

  • prompt() opens the keyboard
  • If you trigger the .focus() from within a .click() event (e.g. from opening your dialog), the keyboard shows up
