I want to script a click on an input box.
Here is an example where the focus() should do just that, but it doesn't! Why?
Code.gs:
function doGet(e) {
return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('myFile');
}
myFile.html:
<input type="text" id="new" onchange="adding(this)"/>
<div id="data"></div>
<script>
document.getElementById('new').focus();
function adding(a){
document.getElementById('data').innerHTML += a.value;
a.value = '';
}
</script>
I have also tried without success putting the focus() in its own function and having a body element whose onload calls that function.
What DOES work is having a button whose onclick calls that function, so focus() does eventually become active. Is there some other event I can use to trigger it?
I am using a Chromebook. Could that be the problem?
