Question

I have a question about calling tablet's keyboard.

I have a DropDownList and Textbox. And now when I choose DropDownList item I want to set focus on the Textbox and call numeric keyboard. That all have to work without pressing on the Textbox.

I use ASP.NET MVC and jQuery.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Set focus to the textbox to trigger the opening of the keypad, this could help.
Example: http://ftlabs.github.com/fastclick/examples/focus.html
Code: https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick

and

<input type="number">

or

<input type="tel">

to trigger the numeric keypad when the text input receives focus.
