Focus search box with jQuery #18

Closed MJPA closed 11 years ago

Have tried with VS.app.searchBox.focusSearch(e) but obviously that requires an event. Tried faking the event but no such luck.

Doesn't seem possible to focus the search box with jQuery?

There's a few ways you can focus in to a facet. First off, decide which one you want, and then do one of these types of focus on the facet (try this on demo.html):

visualSearch.searchBox.facetViews[0].selectText();
visualSearch.searchBox.facetViews[0].enableEdit();
visualSearch.searchBox.facetViews[0].setCursorAtEnd();
