Managing the iOS keyboard for HTML <input> forms (used in UIWebView) is well known, i.e. <input type="tel"></input> for telephone numbers.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/StringsTextFonts/Conceptual/TextAndWebiPhoneOS/KeyboardManagement/KeyboardManagement.html
But I was wondering about the keyboard's blue 'Go' button.
Sometimes the keyboard has a blue 'Go' button, sometimes the keyboard has a gray return button.
Is there any opportunity to control this behavior programmatically?
Update 2020/2021
As Cameron Cobb pointed out,
Safari Mobile supports the new HTML attribute enterkeyhint since version 13.7 ~ Sept. 2020 (https://caniuse.com/mdn-html_global_attributes_enterkeyhint).
The following values are possible (https://mixable.blog/ux-improvements-enterkeyhint-to-define-action-label-for-the-keyboard-of-mobile-devices/):
<input enterkeyhint="enter">
<input enterkeyhint="done">
<input enterkeyhint="go">
<input enterkeyhint="next">
<input enterkeyhint="previous">
<input enterkeyhint="search">
<input enterkeyhint="send">
Original Answer
Aha...
The 'Go' button is only shown, if the <input> tag is inside a <form> tag (and the form tag has an action attribute).
So, if you access your form elements afterwards with i.e. JavaScript, you can omit <form> tags.
'Go' button:
<form action="..." method="...">
<input type="text"></input>
</form>
'return' button:
<input type="text"></input>
The important part is that the form tag has an action property. (action="#" is a noop.)
<form>
<input type="text" />
</form>
<form action="#">
<input type="text" />
</form>
There is a better and more "straight forward" way of changing the enter button text. Use the attribute enterkeyhint in the input tag like in the example shown below.
<input enterkeyhint="go">

I'm using a vaadin TextField on mobile and want to change the input elements 'type' attribute to 'search' so that on mobile the search button shows up on the on screen keyboard.
The input field is in the shadow dom of the vaadin-text-field element:
<vaadin-text-field class="search" type="search" autocapitalize="none" placeholder="Search packages" style="width: 70%;">
<vaadin-button class="search-field-button" theme="icon primary" slot="prefix" tabindex="0" role="button">
<vaadin-icon class="search-field-icon" icon="vaadin:search" slot="prefix">
</vaadin-icon>
</vaadin-button>
<input slot="input" type="text" id="vaadin-text-field-0" placeholder="Search packages">
<label slot="label" id="label-vaadin-text-field-0" for="vaadin-text-field-0">
</label>
<div slot="error-message" id="error-message-vaadin-text-field-0" hidden="">
</div>
</vaadin-text-field>
Ideally, I want to set this from the java side.
There is a method on the TextField getElement().getShadowRoot() but this comes up empty.
I'm guessing I need some way to access the slot for the input field.
How do I do this?
There is no Java API for this, but you can do it with JavaScript call from Java side.
textField.getElement().executeJs("this.inputElement.setAttribute('type','search');");
My Angular application doesn't show me keyboard, when i click on input for the first time. Second click and other shows it.
I don't have ngTouch and any function on inputs.
<div class="input-wrapper">
<input type="email" name="login" tabindex="1" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false" ng-model="form.userData.login" placeholder="{{'LOGIN_OR_EMAIL' | translate}}" required>
</div>
Nothing special in html
if you have
-webkit-user-select:none;
user-select:none;
in your css remove them.
In iOS 8 and above, to show the Search button on the iOS keyboard, you use the action attribute in the form. From Anton's answer here ... Show 'Search' button in iPhone/iPad Safari keyboard
<form action=".">
<input type="search" />
</form>
But this does not work when you are using an AngularJS form with ng-submit like this
<form action="." ng-submit="doSearch(searchtext)">
<input type="search" ng-model="searchtext" />
</form>
The action attribute breaks the Angular form submit.
Any suggestions on how to put a dummy action attribute and still get ng-submit to handle the form processing? Or any other solution that would show the iOS keyboard's search key with an AngularJS HTML5 form.
Just encountered the same problem, key here is that angular prevents default form submission only if no action specified, so if you want to specify one you need to preventDefault manually, which should be pretty easy.
This should work (worked for me):
<form action="." ng-submit="$event.preventDefault();doSearch(searchtext)">
<input type="search" ng-model="searchtext" />
</form>
Also note, that you will need to blur() your input field after you made a Search request in order to auto-hide keyboard.
Update:
With the latter this directive will help you:
.directive('prettySubmit', function () {
return function (scope, element, attr) {
var textFields = $(element).children('input');
$(element).submit(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
textFields.blur();
});
};
})
I have placed preventDefault() in directive, so your form will look like this:
<form action="." ng-submit="doSearch(searchtext)" pretty-submit>
<input type="search" ng-model="searchtext" />
</form>
I encountered the same problem.
Finally I decided to use
<form action="{{'#/search/' + searchText }}">
Instead, and it works.
I use jquery mobile for build a Phonegap application. I create any radio sets like this :
I want to checked a radio in a switch case!
switch (font_family){ case 'tahoma': $('#radio-1').checked(); ... }
Can you help me?
From the picture I am assuming you are using jQM version 1.3.x, however this solution works with 1.4.x too.
Assuming you have markup similar to this:
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal">
<legend>Font:</legend>
<input type="radio" name="thefont" id="radio-1" value="arial" checked="checked" />
<label for="radio-1">Arial</label>
<input type="radio" name="thefont" id="radio-2" value="verdana" />
<label for="radio-2">Verdana</label>
<input type="radio" name="thefont" id="radio-3" value="tahoma" />
<label for="radio-3">Tahoma</label>
</fieldset>
The script to switch to Tahoma would be:
$("[name='thefont']").prop( "checked", false ).checkboxradio( "refresh" );
$("#radio-3").prop( "checked", true ).checkboxradio( "refresh" );
The first line unchecks all boxes and the second checks the tahoma box. In jQM you must refresh the checkboxradio widget after changing values.
DEMO
I'm attempting to re-style a vertical group of radio buttons, and the new theme I add to one of them shows up but the theme I remove from another/the rest doesn't go away.
My goal is to change theme of the selected radio button (the related controls, anyway) to make it stand out more when selected.
<div data-role="content">
...
<fieldset data-role="controlgroup" id="showChooser">
<legend><h3>Which show are you attending?</h3></legend>
<input type="radio" name="activeShow" id="activeShow1" value="1" />
<label for="activeShow1">
<h2>Choice 1</h2>
<p>03/25/2012 - 03/27/2012</p>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="activeShow" id="activeShow2" value="2" />
<label for="activeShow2">
<h2>Choice 2</h2>
<p>03/25/2012 - 03/27/2012</p>
</label>
<input type="radio" name="activeShow" id="activeShow3" value="3" />
<label for="activeShow3">
<h2>Choice 3</h2>
<p>03/25/2012 - 03/27/2012</p>
</label>
...
</fieldset>
...
</div>
This results in the following list being displayed:
(source: skitch.com)
So, on-click of one of them, I'm running this code:
$('#showChooser input:radio').click(function(e) {
$("#showChooser label").attr('data-theme','c');
$(this).next().attr('data-theme','e');
$("#settings").page();
});
The first line should, in theory, reset them all to the base-state of theme 'C', and then the second line would highlight the selected item. I can step through and see that these HTML changes are made, so it's obvious that what needs to happen next is for jQuery Mobile to re-parse and update the display.
Note the desperate attempt at refreshing the whole page with .page() at the end -- even that doesn't achieve the desired effect.
The first time you click one, it has the desired effect:
But subsequent clicks don't appear to un-highlight any previously selected rows:
I've also tried $("#showChooser").listview("refresh") and a few other similar things that I can't recall, but none have the desired effect. So what am I missing/doing wrong?
I had the exact same problem.
$('#showChooser input:radio').click(function(e) {
$("#showChooser label").attr('data-theme','c').removeClass('ui-btn-up-e');
$(this).next().attr('data-theme','e').addClass('ui-btn-up-e');
});
