iOS - Workaround for manually focusing on an input/textarea
I have also harassed same this like issue.my issue solved by simple one css property that is -webkit-user-select:none I removed this and all works fine.try out this.
I used iPad Air [iOS 7.0.4], iPad Mini [iOS 7.1] and jQuery [1.11.3] for my test.
The .focus event worked perfectly for me both in input and textarea fields.
I am pasting the code below with which I tested. Please let me know if I am missing anything.
Is it for some previous version of iOS / jQuery ?
My HTML,
<body> <!--<input id="in" type="text"/>--> <textarea id="in"></textarea> <button id="btn">Add Focus</button></body>My query,
$('#btn').click(function(){ $('#in').focus();})
