javascript - .focus() Not Focusing On New Element -
i have function renaming divs. way i'm trying work this:
- user right clicks div
- user clicks 'rename' on context menu
- div gets input element , automatically focused
- the input gets submitted after pressing enter or clicking screen
i have of steps done input element not being focused after click 'rename'. here's code:
function rename( ){ clickedfile.innerhtml = "<input class='rename' type='text' value='" + clickedfile.innerhtml + "'>"; clickedfile.childnodes[0].focus(); }
the clickedfile node right clicked. changing innerhtml works fine .focus() not , i'm not sure why. don't errors on console, either.
i've tried using:
clickedfile.childnodes[0].select(); clickedfile.childnodes[1].focus(); clickedfile.focus();
none of them have worked.
edit:
i know using jquery might help, i'm more interested in finding out why isn't working.
i fixed problem. has event handlers. answer posted below.
you have add element part of dom
var input = document.createelement("input"); input.classname = "rename"; input.type = "text"; document.getelementbyid("somenode").appendchild(input); input.focus(); // should work
