Typeahead.js: input autofocus attribute is not working

[Nerian]

Hi,

I have this input field that I use with typeahead. It has an autofocus attribute that instructs the browser to focus on it. That worked before adding typeahead. After adding typeahead, that is no longer working.

<input autofocus="autofocus" class="string required span6" 
    data-behavior="typeahead" 
    data-typeahead="products" id="payment_detail" name="payment[detail]" 
    size="50" type="text">

I am also curious how to do this too.

Looking through the source I found the focus method on the InputView but I'm not sure how to call it.

It seems like typeahead.js should respect the autofocus attribute but you can trigger the focus event off the instantiation:

$('#typeahead').typeahead({
  name: 'typeahead',
  remote: '/typeahead/%QUERY.json',
  limit: 10
}).focus();

@bryanluman - thanks for the workaround!

This is still an issue. @jharding, Why was it closed?

@toddmo I don't think this project is maintained anymore, see #1618
