Hi jamesd,

I had a similar keyboard problem and wanted to dismiss the keyboard under program control.
I received the following code from the Tech Support and it worked.
I am not sure if your problem is the same, but give it a try:

 if (document && document.activeElement && ('blur' in document.activeElement)) {
   document.activeElement.blur(); // Unfocus currently active document.
  }

Hello tguneysu,

Yes, I’ve tried a couple similar methods with jQuery and various elements, but not straight JS. I’ll try that.

Thanks.

Thank you very much, yes.. this did it. Didn’t think about trying the “document” level like this does. doh!

Thanks again tguneysu.

For anyone else that runs into this, just place the snippet within the pre-submit form function of the page with the form.

Hi Guys,
Thanks, I’ve been needing this for quite awhile. I have a page(form not checked in properties, ie I am not submitting a form), with a text box, button and a hidden panel on it. When I touch the text box the keyboard comes up. When I hit the <button> it makes the panel visible, BUT the keyboard is still visible. I wish to hide the keyboard when I hit the <button>.
So how do I hide the keyboard by just hitting a <button>? .. I am not changes pages.
Thanks in advance.

Hi pwleblanc,

Have you tried the code that tguneysu suggested?

Thanks Octavio,
I had poreviously tried that and put it as he suggested in: “within the pre-submit form function of the page with the form”. This did not work for me – probably because I was not changing pages!

I now placed the code in the “click” function of the button, “run javascript” and it worked.

Thanks much.
