Listen for onfocus events on document
If you want to set an event listener on document for an input's onFocus
event, you'll find there is no "onFocus" event for document
. Instead you can use the focusin
event listener:
document.addEventListener("focusin", function(e) {
console.log("an input received focus");
});
So if you had dynamic events you can achieve this:
const on = (eventName, elementSelector, handler) => {
document.addEventListener(eventName, function (e) {
for (var target = e.target; target && target != this; target = target.parentNode) {
if (target.matches(elementSelector)) {
handler.call(target, e);
break;
}
}
}, false);
}
on("focusin", "#email_address", function(e) {
const currentTarget = this;
console.log("Email address just received focus");
});
