How can I trigger the focus() event for the textarea element using code? To happen the same thing as when you click on the textarea field with the mouse. That is, the selection (textarea: focus style), well, when you press the keys, the text is entered into the field.

Tried .focus() , .select() , and other methods, but they don't work.

  • Show the code, people guess that yes how did you try? - Air
  • @Air read the whole question - Vlad
  • It is clear that the code ... And at what event this code should work? Under what circumstances? Describe the question normally ... - Air
  • @Air $ (textarea) .focus () that works, but the fact is that with the focus by the function mentioned, the text, the textarea: focus {//} does not work for the text, but with manual focus, the styles are applied. - Vlad
  • @Vlad I already left you a message below. The focus of the textbook is executed, the focus event is processed. Accept the answer or state your thoughts correctly. You can restart, for you the trigger was added specifically to initiate events without a user. - EVG
