Typed text in Text box doesn't appear in Pavlovia

[Becca]

Hi Eli,

OK yes (sorry about that awkward trade off you are currently in!) to automatically give a textbox focus add a code component and in the each frame tab write

textbox._pixi.focus()

where textbox is the name of your textbox component.

Hope that helps,
Becca

Editable Textbox no autofocus online

Hi there, You need the following line of code in a JS code component in the each frame tab to bring the textbox to focus online: textbox_name._pixi.focus() Hope this helps, Becca Ps. We are looking to make the behaviour of the textbox online equivalent to the local textbox in this regard!
